Hi,

Does anybody know where I can buy some cat 5e or cat6 right angled down facing patch cables (1-2m in length) that ship to NZ? I had a look at Blackbox but they do not carry stock for another 2-3 weeks.

Thanks in advance.

I had a look at this, unfortunately they do not ship outside the US. Does anybody know any NZ suppliers?

When I go to that link it tells me "This item ships to Auckland, New Zealand."

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Shows as shipping to NZ for me for NZD$7 per cable. My Billing address is set to US (Youshop) if that makes a difference perhaps?

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's.

If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

@Lias
After setting it to a YouShop address it does work now, thanks for figuring this out.

@jimbob79
Thanks for finding the item, I have now purchased it with Lias's tip.

Cheers for everybody's help today

Just out of interest, what situation do you need right angled patch cords?

I didn't even know they existed but can't think why they would be needed.

Just got a TV hanging on the wall which needs an ethernet cable, a normal cable doesn't fit as it sits so close to the wall. Hopefully that helps.

i needed one a while back for where the outlet is behind some furniture. Tripp were not selling on amazon at the time though, and local dealers do not sell them.

I hacked off the boot to solve that issue.

Thats actually a good option, not many manufacturers make right-angled ones and I suspect it would be better to move the outlet since its too late to change the bracket.

Time to find a new industry!

hammer+Gib=hole for cable...= profit

seriously. though. you have already stuffed the finish on the wall with the bracket screws... may as well just cut some holes for the cables also. I have a tight fit wall mount and the GIB behind my TV is swiss cheese!! :)

screw holes are a lot easier to sort than a hole big enough for a rj45 tho.
