Microconnect V-FTP6A0025R-SLIM networking cable Red 0.25 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A0025R-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 0.25 m in red is a slim, flexible U/FTP (STP) network patch cable designed for high-speed connections up to 10000 Mbit/s. At 0.25 m length it is intended for short links inside IT racks and cabinets where space is limited. The cable is channel link tested to Cat6a standard (up to 500 MHz) and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends.

Advantages

Its slim and very flexible construction provides easier access and faster switching in dense installations. The reduced cable diameter improves airflow inside racks and cabinets, which helps lower the risk of downtime. U/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for reliable signal transmission. Integrated strain relief (snaggle) helps protect the connector during installation in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between equipment in server racks
• Cable management in dense network cabinets
• High-speed links up to 10 Gbit/s within racks
• Environments requiring reduced airflow obstruction

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 connector to the corresponding network ports on devices or patch panels. Use the short 0.25 m length for direct patching inside racks to minimise cable slack. Route the cable following existing cable management paths to preserve airflow and avoid sharp bends; the built-in strain relief reduces stress on the connector during routing through tight spaces.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running this U/FTP cable in parallel and close proximity to power cables for long distances. Keep bends above the minimum bend radius and use cable management accessories in high-density racks to maintain airflow and reduce mechanical stress on the connectors.
