Microconnect V-FTP6A02S-SLIM networking cable Black 2 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A02S-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 2 m Black is a slim, flexible Cat6a networking cable designed for space-constrained IT racks and cabinets. This 2 m straight-through cable features U/FTP (STP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, supporting data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and channel performance tested to 500 MHz (Cat6a).

Advantages

The slim construction and increased flexibility improve accessibility during installation and allow for quicker cable routing and switching in tight spaces. U/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for more reliable data transmission, and the thinner profile helps improve rack airflow, which can lower the risk of equipment overheating and downtime. Each cable is channel link tested to the Cat6a 500 MHz standard and includes a snagless design to protect the connector during installation through limited spaces.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbps in data centres and network cabinets
• Patch panels and switch-to-device connections in crowded racks
• Office and home network installations where space and cable management are important

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to a network switch, patch panel or router and the other end to the target device. Route the cable through the rack or cabinet, taking advantage of its slim and flexible design to minimise bends and avoid sharp kinks. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted into the ports until they click to establish a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. For optimal performance, avoid excessive twisting and maintain recommended bend radii for Cat6a cabling.

Recommendations

For best results, use the Microconnect V-FTP6A02S-SLIM in organised patching areas and keep cables loosely bundled to preserve airflow. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference; if crossing is necessary, do so at a 90-degree angle. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and use the snagless feature when pulling the cable through tight openings to protect the RJ-45 plug.
