Microconnect V-FTP6A03S-SLIM networking cable Black 3 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A03S-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m Black is a slim, flexible Cat6a networking cable designed for high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s. With U/FTP (V-FTP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this 3 m straight-through cable is suitable for dense IT rack and cabinet installations where space is limited. The cable is channel link tested up to 500 MHz (Cat6a) and includes a protective snagless boot to prevent connector damage during tight installations.

Advantages

The slim and very flexible construction improves accessibility for installers and enables faster, easier patching in crowded racks. U/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity. Thinner cable diameter contributes to improved airflow within racks and cabinets, which can lower the risk of equipment downtime. Channel link testing to 500 MHz verifies compliance with Cat6a performance requirements.

Suitable for

• High-density server racks and network cabinets
• Patch panels and top-of-rack switching
• Connections between switches, routers and wall outlets
• Environments requiring reduced cable volume and improved airflow

How to use

Route the Microconnect Cat6a cable between devices or through patch panels and switch ports as required. Ensure each RJ-45 connector is fully inserted into the corresponding port until the latch engages. Use proper cable management (ties, organizers, or cable trays) to maintain clear airflow and avoid sharp bends that could strain the cable or connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends with radii smaller than recommended for Cat6a cables, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources, and maintain good rack airflow. Use the cable for links up to 3 m in length and verify connections after installation.
