Microconnect V-FTP6A05G-SLIM networking cable Green 5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A05G-SLIM is a 5 m Cat6a networking cable with RJ-45 connectors, designed for high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s. Its slim, flexible construction and U/FTP (V-FTP) shielding make it suitable for dense IT rack and cabinet installations where space is limited, while maintaining channel performance up to 500 MHz.

Advantages

The slim design reduces cable bulk and improves accessibility for installers, enabling faster and easier connection changes. Enhanced U/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference. The cable is channel link tested to Cat6a (up to 500 MHz), and an integrated snag protection helps prevent connector damage when routing through tight spaces. Improved airflow in racks is a secondary benefit due to the thinner profile.

Suitable for

• High-density IT racks and network cabinets
• Office and data center horizontal and vertical cabling
• Workstations and switches requiring Cat6a performance
• Environments where reduced cable bulk and improved airflow are needed

How to use

Route the Microconnect V-FTP6A05G-SLIM between devices, ensuring connectors are fully inserted into RJ-45 ports until they click. Use appropriate cable management (tray, ties, or panels) to maintain bend radii and avoid sharp kinks. The slim, flexible jacket allows easier routing through crowded racks and tight conduits. Verify link negotiation and network settings after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid exceeding recommended bend radius, keep the cable clear of high-voltage power lines to minimize interference despite shielding, and use it in installations where Cat6a performance and compact routing are required. Periodically inspect the connector snag protection when routing through confined spaces.
