Microconnect V-UTP6A0025-SLIM networking cable Grey 0.25 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP6A0025-SLIM is a slim Cat6a RJ-45 networking cable, 0.25 m long and grey. Designed for space-constrained IT racks and cabinets, the cable combines a reduced diameter with flexible construction to improve accessibility for installers while maintaining Cat6a performance. It supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and data rates up to 1000 Mbps under the Cat6a standard, and is backwards compatible with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5. The cable uses U/UTP shielding to reduce interference and includes a molded snagless boot to protect the connector during tight installations.

Advantages

The slim design reduces cable bulk in racks and cabinets and improves airflow, lowering the risk of overheating-related downtime. Thin, flexible construction allows easier routing and quicker connection changes in confined spaces. Tested to Cat6a specifications, the cable preserves high-speed transmission while remaining compatible with earlier Ethernet standards. The integrated snagless boot protects the RJ-45 clip during installation through narrow pathways.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and dense rack installations
• Server cabinets with limited space
• Desk-to-switch short connections in office environments
• High-speed Ethernet links requiring Cat6a performance in compact setups

Key specifications

• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Standard: Cat6a (tested up to 500 MHz)
• Shielding: U/UTP
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbps (Cat6a standard)
• Colour: Grey
• Weight: 0.004 kg

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on devices such as switches, patch panels or network interface cards. Route the cable through rack channels or cable management paths, using the slim profile to fit narrow spaces and maintain tidy runs. Ensure the snagless boot passes through tight openings first to protect the clip, then fully seat the connector until it clicks to confirm a secure connection.

Recommendations

For best results in dense installations, group slim Cat6a cables separately from power lines to minimize interference, avoid sharp bends tighter than the cable’s bend radius, and verify connections after installation with network testing tools where possible.
