Microconnect V-UTP605S-FLAT networking cable Black 5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP605S-FLAT RJ-45 Cat6 5 m Black is a flat Cat6 networking cable designed for space-saving installations in IT racks, cabinets and confined routes such as behind baseboards or under carpets. The cable supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz, is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, and features RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Its flat profile and slim connector design help route the cable through narrow gaps while maintaining gigabit and higher data rates.

Advantages

This Microconnect flat Cat6 cable offers high-frequency performance tested to 250 MHz and supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. The flat construction saves space and allows discreet installation under floors or along skirting boards. Connectors on both ends are designed with a protective snag feature to reduce the risk of damage during installation in tight spaces. The cable is U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) which reduces interference while remaining flexible and easy to route.

Suitable for

• Space-constrained installations in IT racks and cabinets
• Routing behind baseboards or under carpets and floor coverings
• Home and small office network connections requiring Cat6 performance
• Connecting switches, routers, computers and network devices with RJ-45 ports

How to use

Run the flat cable along the chosen route, keeping it flat against surfaces for a low-profile installation. If routing behind baseboards or under carpets, ensure the cable follows a path free from sharp edges and heavy foot traffic. Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network devices until the latch clicks. If necessary, bend the cable gently within its flexibility limits to navigate corners; avoid tight bends that could damage the internal pairs.

Recommendations

For reliable Cat6 performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power lines or other strong EMI sources. Use the flat cable where space is limited and replace damaged connectors or cables rather than continuing to use compromised parts.
