RJ45 port with minimal clearance (lemm.ee)

Hi there,

I have an RJ45 port in the wall which needs to be in use. I'll be moving a piece of furniture soon which will be (almost) right up against the wall. This will restrict the space in front of the port. The cable connected to the port will have to drastically bend at the connection point and I'm worried that'll be a problem.

I've found some 90 degree RJ45 male connectors online which seem appropriate. This way the cable won't have to bend. Any experience with these?

Any other advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance

Open the wall box, push the connector inside the box (on mine it can be detached) and let only the wire go out from the wall, with the connector inside the wall box
