Microconnect V-FTP6A005-SLIM networking cable Grey 0.5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A005-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5m Grey is a slim, shielded network patch cable designed for high-speed connections up to 10000 Mbit/s. At 0.5 m length and 0.014 kg weight, the cable features U/FTP (STP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Its thin, flexible design is intended for tight spaces in IT racks and cabinets while maintaining Cat6a performance and channel link testing up to 500 MHz.

Advantages

The slim construction provides greater flexibility and easier routing in crowded rack and cabinet environments. U/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for stable data transmission. Channel link tested to Cat6a standard (up to 500 MHz), the cable supports high data rates while its flexible jacket improves airflow in enclosures. A built-in snag protector helps prevent connector damage during installation in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Patch connections inside server racks and network cabinets
• High-density data center and telecom installations
• Workstation-to-switch connections in cramped enclosures
• Environments requiring shielded Cat6a performance

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device and the other end to the switch, patch panel or outlet. Route the cable through the rack or cabinet, using the slim profile to fit tight pathways and maintain proper bend radius. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched. For shielded installations, verify that equipment and patch panels support U/FTP grounding practices to maintain shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

Use this slim Cat6a cable for short patch runs where space is limited; avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. For full shielding benefits, connect cable shields to grounded metal panels or compatible equipment.
