Microconnect MC-UTP6A05P networking cable Purple 5 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect CAT6a Patch Cable MC-UTP6A05P is a 5 m RJ-45 network cable designed for high-speed data transfer up to 10 000 Mbit/s and bandwidth up to 500 MHz. The cable uses U/UTP construction to reduce interference and ensure stable connections in demanding environments. It is finished in purple and includes meter markings on the boot for easy length identification.

Advantages

The cable features 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for improved contact quality and reduced signal loss. Latch protection protects the connector clip from breaking during repeated use. U/UTP shielding lowers electromagnetic interference for more reliable performance in congested network setups.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections
• Server rooms and data centres
• Office networks and switch-to-switch links
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming and large file transfers

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router, network card) and the other to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use meter markings on the boot to confirm cable length when planning or documenting installations.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain a bend radius of at least four times the cable diameter. Keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference (large motors, transformers) and avoid running parallel to power cabling for long distances.
