Microconnect V-FTP6A05B-SLIM networking cable Blue 5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A05B-SLIM is a 5 m Cat6a U/FTP networking cable in blue, designed for high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s. Its slim, flexible construction makes it suitable for tight installations in IT racks and cabinets while maintaining Channel Link performance up to 500 MHz (Cat6a).

Advantages

The slim profile reduces occupied space and improves accessibility for installers, allowing faster and easier connector switching in dense patch panels. Greater cable flexibility aids routing in confined areas, and the reduced bulk helps improve airflow in racks and cabinets, which can lower the risk of equipment overheating and potential downtime. Each cable is channel link tested to Cat6a standards and features strain protection at the connector to reduce damage during installation in restricted spaces.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and high-density rack installations
• Server rooms and network cabinets with limited space
• Office workstations and structured cabling backbones
• Applications requiring Cat6a performance (up to 500 MHz) and 10 Gbit/s speeds

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 connectors to matching ports on switches, patch panels or network devices. Route the slim cable through racks, cable managers or narrow pathways as needed; its flexibility and reduced diameter simplify installation in high-density environments. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and secure; avoid tight bends at the connector boot and do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended bend radius to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best results in high-density rack environments, use these slim Cat6a cables for patching between switches and patch panels to improve airflow and reduce cable congestion. Keep cable lengths appropriate for the application and avoid mechanical stress on the connector strain relief when pulling through confined spaces.
