Microconnect V-FTP6A10S-SLIM networking cable Black 10 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A10S-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Black is a slim, flexible U/FTP Cat6a networking cable designed for space-constrained IT racks and cabinets. At 10 metres length with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, it supports data transfer speeds up to 10000 Mbit/s and is channel link tested to 500 MHz (Cat6a), providing a durable connection in professional network installations.

Advantages

This slim Cat6a cable is thinner and more flexible than standard cables, which improves accessibility and makes installation and cable switching quicker and easier. Its reduced diameter enhances airflow inside racks and cabinets, helping to lower the risk of downtime. The cable is channel link tested to Cat6a (up to 500 MHz) and includes snagless connector protection to reduce the chance of connector damage during installations in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbit/s
• Installations in crowded IT racks and server cabinets
• Office and data centre network patching
• Situations requiring improved airflow and space saving

How to use

Route the Microconnect V-FTP6A10S-SLIM cable between network devices or patch panels and insert the RJ-45 connectors firmly into the corresponding ports. Use the snagless connector when pulling the cable through tight openings to minimise connector damage. Ensure both ends are connected to devices or switches configured for the desired network speed.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bends and excessive twisting of the cable, maintain proper separation from power cables where possible, and use appropriate cable management in racks and cabinets to preserve airflow and prevent mechanical stress on connectors.
