Microconnect V-FTP6A01-SLIM networking cable Grey 1 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A01-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Grey is a slim, flexible Cat6a networking cable with U/FTP (STP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for installations in space-constrained IT racks and cabinets, this 1 m cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is channel link tested to 500 MHz (Cat6a).

Advantages

The slim profile and high flexibility improve accessibility in crowded racks and cabinets and make routing and swapping cables easier. U/FTP (STP) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for more stable connections. Channel link testing to 500 MHz confirms compliance with Cat6a performance. A protective snaggles feature helps prevent connector damage when pulling the cable through tight installation spaces, and the grey colour provides a neutral, professional appearance.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server racks and network cabinets
• High-speed LAN links up to 10 Gbps
• Environments requiring reduced cable bulk for improved airflow
• Installations where connector protection during routing is needed

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device and the other end to the corresponding port on a switch, patch panel or NIC. Route the cable through the rack or cabinet, taking advantage of its slim, flexible design for tight spaces. Ensure connectors are fully seated and locked in place. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable separated from high-power electrical lines where possible.

Recommendations

Use this slim Cat6a cable for short patch runs inside racks and cabinets where space and airflow are important. Confirm both connected devices support 10 Gbps when requiring maximum throughput, and follow standard cable management practices to maintain signal integrity.
