Microconnect V-FTP6A10Y-SLIM networking cable Yellow 10 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The Microconnect V-FTP6A10Y-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Yellow is a slim U/FTP (STP) Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s. With a 10 m length and bright yellow jacket, the cable is intended for structured cabling in racks and cabinets where space is limited. It is channel link tested to Cat6a standards up to 500 MHz and fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The slim, flexible construction improves accessibility behind patch panels and enhances airflow inside IT racks.

Advantages

The cable’s reduced diameter and high flexibility allow easier routing and faster reconfiguration in dense rack environments while protecting connectors during installation thanks to an integrated snagless boot. U/FTP shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference, and the Cat6a channel link testing to 500 MHz ensures compatibility with demanding network applications. The yellow colour provides clear visual identification among other cables.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in server rooms and network cabinets
• High-density rack installations with limited space
• Office workstations and LAN endpoints requiring 10 Gbit/s-capable links
• Environments where improved airflow in racks is desired

How to use

Route the Microconnect Cat6a slim cable between network devices, patch panels or switches and plug the RJ-45 connectors into the appropriate ports. Use the cable’s flexibility to guide it through tight spaces in racks or cable trays. Ensure connectors seat fully in the ports until they click. Avoid sharp bends and do not stretch the cable beyond its intended routing length to maintain performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain bend radii according to industry guidelines, keep U/FTP shielding continuity by avoiding damage to the connector boots, and organise cables to preserve airflow in racks. Use the bright yellow colour for easy identification of Cat6a connections.
