Microconnect V-FTP6A005W-SLIM networking cable White 0.5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A005W-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5m is a slim, flexible network patch cable designed for high-performance data connections up to 10000 Mbit/s. This white Cat6a cable uses V-FTP (U/FTP) shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference and is channel link tested to 500 MHz (Cat6a). Its reduced diameter and flexible jacket make it suitable for tight spaces in IT racks and cabinets while the integrated strain relief prevents connector damage during installation.

Advantages

The slim form factor saves space and improves accessibility in densely packed racks and patch panels. Flexibility enables easier routing and faster reconfigurations, while the improved airflow in racks can reduce thermal load. Channel link testing to 500 MHz and U/FTP shielding provide reliable signal integrity for high-speed networks.

Suitable for

• Rack and cabinet installations with limited space
• Patch panels and switch connections in data centres
• Short-distance horizontal and equipment-to-equipment links (0.5 m)
• Environments requiring reduced interference and stable high-speed links

Key specifications

• Cable type: RJ-45 Cat6a (V-FTP / U/FTP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Channel link tested: up to 500 MHz
• Colour: White
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Weight: 0.014 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the cable to your switch, patch panel or network device and the other end to the corresponding port. Route the slim cable through the rack or cabinet space, taking advantage of its flexibility to avoid sharp bends. Ensure the integrated strain relief is seated correctly at each connector to prevent damage during installation.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat6a slim cable for short patching runs where space saving and airflow are priorities. Avoid excessive bending beyond the cable's bend radius and keep runs clear of high-power electrical cables to maintain optimal signal quality.
