Hi fellow geeks. I really need a crimpable right angled RJ45 connector. Do they exist?

I've just visited a job where the installers have gone into a multi million euro villa and, using grinders and heavy artillery, installed plastic wall boxes in the concrete walls intended to house some DANTE audio nodes (similar to this).

As usual, when the account manager specs the boxes without consulting a tech, the boxes they've just finished installing fit the nodes fine if you don't take into account that they need to be actually plugged in. The box is too small when the ethernet is plugged in...

So a right angled RJ45 will save the day. But I cannot find any that are crimpable and I don't want to put a little extender in if it can be avoided, as it's just another potential failure point.

So does it exist, or is it a unicorn?
