Microconnect V-FTP6A02R-SLIM networking cable Red 2 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A02R-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 2 m Red is a slim, flexible Cat6a networking cable designed for high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s. This 2 m straight-through cable uses V-FTP (U/FTP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, providing reliable connectivity in space-constrained IT racks and cabinets while maintaining channel performance up to 500 MHz.

Advantages

The slim and very flexible construction improves accessibility behind equipment and enables quicker, easier switching and routing. U/FTP (STP) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for more stable connections. Channel link testing up to 500 MHz confirms Cat6a performance. The thin profile also enhances airflow within racks and cabinets, which can contribute to reduced thermal stress on hardware. A protective snaggles feature helps prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and dense rack/cabinet installations
• Server rooms and data centers with limited cable space
• Connections between switches, patch panels, and networked devices
• Environments requiring shielded Cat6a performance

Key specifications

• Cable type: Straight-through
• Length: 2 m
• Standard: Cat6a, channel tested up to 500 MHz
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: V-FTP (U/FTP) (STP)

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other end into the switch, patch panel, or router. Route the cable through the rack or cabinet using cable management paths to maintain neatness and airflow. Avoid sharp bends and tension on the cable; the slim design allows easier routing in tight spaces but standard handling precautions for Cat6a cables should be observed.

Recommendations

For best performance, use in shielded environments with proper grounding when connecting to other STP/V-FTP components. Keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines and avoid running the cable parallel to heavy power lines to minimise interference.
