Microconnect MC-UTP6A05S networking cable Black 5 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect CAT6a Patch Cable (MC-UTP6A05S) is a 5 m U/UTP network cable designed for high-performance Ethernet connections. It supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and frequencies up to 500 MHz, and features RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer. The cable is black and intended for environments that require stable 10Gbit connectivity and reduced interference.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable provides 10Gbit performance with U/UTP construction to limit crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts improve electrical contact and corrosion resistance. The connectors include 50µ" (50 microinch) plating for improved connection quality, a latch protection to reduce the risk of clip breakage, and meter markings on the boot for easy length identification. Its 5 m length balances reach and signal integrity for typical office and data-centre runs.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches, servers and networked devices
• High-bandwidth applications such as multimedia streaming and large file transfers
• Structured cabling in offices, server rooms and home networks

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/UTP Cat6a
• Length: 5 m
• Data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10Gbit)
• Frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts (50µ" plating mentioned)
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.1 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router, NIC or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure the connector latches click into place to secure the connection. Avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference to maintain signal quality. For permanent installations, use appropriate cable management and avoid excessive mechanical stress on the boots and connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal 10Gbit performance, use the cable for link lengths within typical copper Ethernet limits and avoid bundling near large electrical equipment. Inspect the latch protection and connector plating if the cable is frequently unplugged to ensure continued reliable connections.
