Microconnect V-UTP6005-FLAT networking cable Grey 0.5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

MicroConnect V-UTP6005-FLAT is a 0.5 m flat networking cable built to Cat6 (up to 250 MHz) specifications with U/UTP construction and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The slim, grey design is intended for space-constrained installations such as crowded IT racks, cabinets, or routes behind skirting boards and under flooring. The cable is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 and supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s when used in appropriate network environments.

Advantages

The flat profile reduces the required installation space and makes the cable easy to route in tight channels or under carpets. Tested to Cat6 frequency (250 MHz), the cable offers compatibility with current Cat6 networks while remaining usable in Cat5e/Cat5 systems. Molded strain-relief on the RJ-45 plugs helps protect the connectors during installation, particularly when pulling the cable through narrow openings.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices in space-limited IT racks and server cabinets
• Routing behind skirting boards or under carpets and other floor coverings
• Short patch connections between switches, routers, and patch panels

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Shielding: U/UTP
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (depending on network equipment)
• Colour: Grey
• Weight: 0.007 kg

How to use

Route the flat cable along the desired path, taking advantage of the low profile to pass it through narrow gaps, behind skirting boards, or under flooring. Insert RJ-45 plugs fully into device ports until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation; use the molded strain-relief to guide gentle pulls when necessary.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep cable runs short for patching purposes and avoid running parallel and close to high-voltage power cables. Verify compatibility with your switching equipment to achieve the expected speeds and ensure connectors are undamaged before final installation.
