Microconnect MC-UTP6A20P networking cable Purple 20 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect MC-UTP6A20P is a 20 m Cat6a networking cable with RJ-45 connectors, designed for environments that require 10 Gbit/s speeds and wide bandwidth. The cable uses U/UTP construction and gold-plated contacts to support data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. It includes 50µ" gold plating on the RJ45 contacts for improved connectivity, latch protection to reduce the risk of clip breakage, and meter markings on the boot to easily identify cable length. The cable is finished in purple and weighs approximately 0.516 kg.

Advantages

The cable supports 10Gbit/s performance and a bandwidth up to 500 MHz, with U/UTP shielding that helps maintain signal integrity. Gold-plated 50µ" RJ45 contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. Integrated latch protection prevents accidental connector damage, and the boot markings provide convenient length identification for installation and cable management.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet connections in data centres and server rooms
• High-bandwidth LAN installations for offices and workgroups
• Patch panels and network racks requiring 20 m cable runs

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device and the other to the patch panel, switch or router port. Ensure the latch engages securely and route the cable to avoid tight bends or sharp edges that could damage the jacket. Use the meter markings on the boot to confirm the installed length and to aid in organising cable runs. For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or other sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For reliable 10Gbit/s operation, install the cable following industry best practices: maintain appropriate bend radius, avoid excessive pulling force, and use proper cable management in racks and troughs. Regularly inspect latch protection and connector contacts for wear in high-traffic installations.
