Microconnect V-UTP605-FLAT networking cable Grey 5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP605-FLAT RJ-45 Cat6 5 m Grey is a flat Cat6 U/UTP networking cable designed for high-density and space-saving installations. With a 5 m length and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, it supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The flat profile and grey color make it suitable for routing behind skirting boards, under carpets or in narrow cable channels inside IT racks and cabinets.

Advantages

The flat Cat6 construction allows installation in tight spaces where round cables would be impractical. U/UTP shielding reduces external interference while maintaining Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz. The cable is manufactured with a protective strain relief on the connectors to reduce the risk of damage when pulling the cable through narrow openings. It is lightweight and flexible, simplifying routing and placement.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices over short to medium distances (5 m)
• Runs behind skirting boards and under carpets
• Space-constrained IT racks and network cabinets
• Home and office Ethernet connections requiring Cat6 performance

How to use

Route the flat cable along the desired path, for example behind skirting boards, under carpets or through narrow cable trays. Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the network ports of your devices until they click into place. Avoid bending the cable sharply or applying excessive force to the connectors when pulling through tight spaces. Verify link status on connected devices to confirm a successful connection.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable separated from strong electromagnetic sources (large power cables, transformers) and avoid tight bends with a radius smaller than recommended for Cat6 flat cables. Use the 5 m length for short runs between nearby devices; for longer distances, choose an appropriately longer Cat6 cable.
