Microconnect V-FTP6A075S-SLIM networking cable Black 7.5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A075S-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 7.5m Black is a slim, high-performance Ethernet cable designed for single-run straight-through connections. It uses U/FTP (STP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s with channel link testing to 500 MHz in accordance with Cat6a performance. The cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, measures 7.5 meters in length and comes in a black finish suitable for visible and concealed installations in homes and offices.

Advantages

The slim construction provides improved flexibility and reduced cable bulk, making the cable easier to route in dense IT racks and cabinets. U/FTP shielding helps maintain signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. The cable's lighter weight and flexible jacket aid accessibility during installation, and a snagless connector design helps protect the plug tab when pulling through tight spaces. Channel link testing to 500 MHz ensures the cable meets Cat6a transmission standards for high-speed networks.

Suitable for

• Wiring between switches, patch panels and network devices in server rooms and cabinets
• Desktop and office network connections where space behind desks is limited
• Home networks requiring Gigabit and 10 Gigabit-ready cabling
• Environments where improved airflow and reduced cable bulk are desired

When it may not be suitable

The slim jacket reduces overall bulk but may offer less mechanical protection than thicker, ruggedized cables; it is not intended for harsh outdoor exposure or direct burial. It is designed for indoor structured cabling and patching; installations requiring armored or outdoor-rated cable types will need a different product.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (meets 500 MHz channel link testing)
• Shielding: U/FTP (shielded twisted pairs with overall drain not required)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Transfer rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Black
• Design: Slim, low-profile flexible jacket with snagless connector
• Weight: 0.025 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router or network interface) and the other end to a patch panel, wall socket or another device. Route the cable through racks, cabinets or cable management channels, taking advantage of its slim profile to minimize obstruction and improve airflow. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks; avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force when installing through tight spaces to protect the internal pairs and shielding.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required cable length and whether 7.5 m meets the planned routing
• Verify that indoor, shielded Cat6a cabling is appropriate for your environment (not for direct burial or outdoor use)
• Check device compatibility for RJ-45 connections and desired network speed (Gigabit/10 Gigabit)
• Consider whether a slim profile is preferred for improved rack airflow and space savings

Recommendations

For best results, use this slim Cat6a cable for short to medium patching runs inside racks and between network equipment. Keep cable bends above the minimum bend radius, avoid kinking, and route cables using proper management panels to preserve shielding effectiveness and performance.
