Microconnect V-UTP6A0015Y-SLIM networking cable Yellow 0.15 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP6A0015Y-SLIM is a slim Cat6a network patch cable in yellow with a length of 0.15 m. It is designed for space-restricted installations in IT racks and cabinets, offering a thinner and more flexible alternative to standard Cat6 cables while maintaining Cat6a performance up to 500 MHz and data rates up to 10 Gbit/s. The cable uses U/UTP construction, gold-plated RJ-45 straight male connectors and a snagless design to protect connectors during installation.

Advantages

The slim construction reduces cable diameter (approximately 3.6 mm) and improves airflow in racks and cabinets, helping to minimize thermal buildup. Flexibility and the snagless boot provide easier routing and faster switching in confined spaces. The cable is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated, supports PoE++ and is backwards compatible with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in crowded server racks and network cabinets
• Short links between switches and patch panels
• Connections behind wall-mounted equipment and baseboards where space is limited
• PoE and high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short distances

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a (tested up to 500 MHz)
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Cabling: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 0.15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male – gold-plated contacts
• Cable diameter: approx. 3.6 mm
• Colour: Yellow
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• PoE support: PoE++

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your switch, patch panel or network device and the other end to the target device. Ensure both connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable through the rack or behind equipment using existing cable channels or ties; avoid sharp bends tighter than the cable diameter to maintain signal performance. For short interconnects keep excess cable neatly arranged to preserve airflow.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect slim Cat6a cable for short, high-speed links in dense installations. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines to reduce interference and follow rack airflow patterns to maintain cooling efficiency.
