Microconnect MC-UTP6A005R networking cable Red 0.5 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect CAT6a Patch Cable (MC-UTP6A005R) is a 0.5 m unshielded twisted-pair (U/UTP) network cable designed for high-performance LAN connections. It supports data rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s and bandwidths up to 500 MHz, features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission. The cable is red and includes meter markings on the boot for easy length identification.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable provides 10Gbit performance suitable for demanding network environments, 50 µin gold-plated RJ45 contacts for improved connectivity, latch protection to reduce the risk of clip breakage, and clear meter markings on the boot for quick length recognition. Its short 0.5 m length is useful for tidy connections between devices in racks or at desktop setups.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switches, patch panels and servers
• Desktop workstation networking
• High-speed 10G Ethernet links within racks or enclosures
• Situations requiring color-coded cabling for easy identification

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of your device and the other end to a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure the connector clicks into place with the latch protection engaged. Use the meter markings on the boot to confirm cable length during installation or when organizing multiple cables. For best results, avoid tight bends and keep the cable free from sharp kinks.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a patch cable for short, high-speed links where 10G performance is required; avoid running it alongside high-voltage power cables and maintain a minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity.
