Microconnect V-FTP6A10-SLIM networking cable Grey 10 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A10-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Grey is a 10-metre straight-through networking cable designed for high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s. This slim Cat6a cable uses U/FTP (STP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors, offering Cat6a channel performance (tested up to 500 MHz) in a thinner, more flexible form factor that saves space in IT racks and cabinets.

Advantages

The slim construction improves accessibility in dense installations, allows easier connector handling in confined spaces, and enhances airflow within racks and cabinets. Snagless connectors protect the plug latch during installation, while U/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for reliable performance.

Suitable for

• High-density rack and cabinet installations
• Server rooms and data centres where airflow and space are critical
• Office and home network connections requiring Cat6a performance
• Patch panels and switch-to-device links up to 10 m

How to use

Route the Microconnect V-FTP6A10-SLIM cable between network devices or from patch panel to switch, ensuring connectors are fully inserted into RJ-45 ports until the latch clicks. Use the cable’s slim and flexible design to guide it through tight spaces and cable management channels; avoid sharp bends with radii smaller than recommended for Cat6a cabling. For best results, maintain proper separation from high-voltage power lines and avoid crushing the cable under heavy objects.

Recommendations

Use this slim Cat6a cable when you need Cat6a performance in locations with limited space or where improved airflow is required. Verify channel testing and shielding requirements for your installation, and keep cable runs within performance limits (recommended for runs up to 10 m in patching scenarios).
