Microconnect V-UTP6A0025W-SLIM networking cable White 0.25 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP6A0025W-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 0.25 m is a slim, flexible networking cable designed for space-constrained installations in IT racks and cabinets. It follows the Cat6a standard, is U/UTP (unshielded) and supports high-speed data transfer while maintaining backward compatibility with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5.

Advantages

The slim construction and increased flexibility improve accessibility and make routing and switching easier in tight spaces. The thinner profile helps improve airflow in cabinets and racks, which can reduce the risk of overheating-related downtime. Cables are tested up to 500 MHz and 1000 Mbps according to Cat6a specifications, and each connector is fitted with a snagless boot to protect the RJ-45 latch during installation in confined areas.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and dense rack installations where space is limited
• Top-of-rack and horizontal cabling in data centers
• Office workstations and network switches with close port spacing
• Environments requiring backward compatibility with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5

• Weight: 0.002 kg
• EAN: 5704174043690

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other end to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable through the rack or cabinet space, using the slim profile to pass through narrow openings and maintain clear airflow paths. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force when installing to preserve cable performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for patch connections, avoid running U/UTP cables parallel to high-voltage power lines, and use proper cable management to maintain airflow and reduce mechanical stress on connectors.
