Microconnect V-FTP6A05-SLIM networking cable Grey 5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A05-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m Grey is a high-performance slim networking cable designed for space-constrained IT racks and cabinets. This 5 m straight-through Cat6a cable features U/FTP (STP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, supporting data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and channel testing to 500 MHz.

Advantages

The slim, flexible construction improves access in dense installations and makes plugging and switching easier for installers. Reduced cable diameter enhances airflow in cabinets and racks, which can help lower operating temperatures and reduce the risk of downtime. The cable includes strain-relief features to protect connectors during installation in tight spaces, and its U/FTP shielding provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and high-density rack installations
• Server rooms and network cabinets with limited space
• Office and data centre horizontal and vertical cabling
• Connections requiring Cat6a performance up to 500 MHz

How to use

Route the slim Cat6a cable through cable managers or tight spaces in racks and cabinets, taking care to avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force. Insert the RJ-45 connectors firmly into patch panels, switches or endpoints until they click. The built-in strain-relief should be positioned to protect the connector during installation. For best performance, maintain proper separation from power cables and follow standard installation practices for shielded cables, including correct grounding of shielded components where applicable.

Recommendations

Use this slim Cat6a cable in high-density installations to improve rack airflow and accessibility. Verify channel performance with suitable testing equipment after installation and ensure shield termination follows equipment and cabling standards.
