Microconnect MC-UTP6A05R networking cable Red 5 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect MC-UTP6A05R CAT6a patch cable is a 5 m red U/UTP network cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for high-speed wired networks. It supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and bandwidth up to 500 MHz, making it suitable for demanding environments and 10Gbit Ethernet links. The cable features meter markings on the boot for easy length identification and a slim, visible red jacket for orderly cabling.

Advantages

The cable uses 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to improve signal transfer and reduce corrosion, and includes latch protection to prevent the connector clip from breaking. U/UTP construction reduces external interference while maintaining flexibility and a compact profile. The 5 m length covers typical rack-to-desk or patch-panel connections without excess slack.

Suitable for

• 10Gbit Ethernet connections in server rooms and data centres
• High-bandwidth office networks and professional workstations
• Patching between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Structured cabling installations requiring visible colour coding

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other end to the corresponding port on the patch panel or device. Ensure the latch clicks into place on both ends to secure the connection. Use the meter markings on the boot to verify cable length during installation and route the cable following standard cable management practices to avoid excessive bending or strain.

Recommendations

For optimal 10G performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines and maintain bend radii greater than the cable diameter. Use colour-coded cabling to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
