Microconnect V-FTP6A015Y-SLIM networking cable Yellow 1.5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A015Y-SLIM is a slim Cat6a networking cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends and a length of 1.5 m. It supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses U/FTP (shielded pairs) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference. The cable is thinner and very flexible, designed for tight IT rack and cabinet installations where space and airflow matter.

Advantages

This slim Cat6a cable improves accessibility in dense installations thanks to its reduced diameter and high flexibility, allowing easier routing and faster connector switching. U/FTP shielding increases resistance to crosstalk and external interference, while the thin profile helps improve airflow in racks and cabinets, potentially lowering equipment temperatures. Each cable is channel link tested to 500 MHz to meet Cat6a performance requirements. The cable also features a protective snag guard on the connector to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Rack and cabinet patching in data centers and server rooms
• High-density network closets and telecommunications enclosures
• Workstation and switch connections requiring Cat6a performance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (500 MHz channel link tested)
• Shielding: U/FTP (shielded foil around each pair)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 1.5 m
• Colour: Yellow
• Weight: 0.024 kg

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs into the corresponding network ports on your devices, switches or patch panels. Route the cable through racks or cabinets, using the slim and flexible profile to navigate tight spaces. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks; use the snag guard when pulling the cable through narrow openings to protect the connector. Verify link and speed settings on connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance keep cable runs within standard Ethernet length limits, avoid sharp bends and high-tension pulls, and separate from strong electromagnetic sources where possible. Use the slim Cat6a cable for high-density patching to improve airflow in racks.
