Microconnect V-FTP6A0025S-SLIM networking cable Black 0.25 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A0025S-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 0.25 m Black is a slim, high-performance networking cable designed for short patch connections in dense IT racks and cabinets. This Cat6a cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s, features U/FTP (V-FTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Its thin and very flexible design improves accessibility for installers, helps maintain airflow in racks and reduces the risk of downtime. Each cable is Channel link tested to 500 MHz (Cat6a standard) and includes a snagless design to protect the connector during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The slim form factor and high flexibility allow easier routing and quick swapping in crowded rack environments while preserving airflow. U/FTP shielding ensures stable performance by minimising interference. Channel link test certification to 500 MHz verifies compliance with Cat6a standards. The snagless connector protects the plug when feeding the cable through narrow openings.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in data centre racks and network cabinets
• Short links between switches, patch panels and servers
• Environments where cable density and airflow management are important
• Installations requiring a compact Cat6a RJ-45 patch cable

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network device such as a switch, patch panel or server and the other end to the corresponding port on the adjacent device. Route the cable through the rack or cabinet, using available cable management features to maintain separation from power lines and preserve airflow. The snagless design reduces the risk of damaging the connector when pulling the cable through tight spaces.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the Microconnect Cat6a slim cable for short patch runs inside racks and cabinets. Avoid excessive bending or kinking near the connector, maintain proper cable management to preserve airflow, and keep the cable length appropriate for the link to minimise signal loss.
