Microconnect V-UTP6A005W-SLIM networking cable White 0.5 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP6A005W-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5m is a slim U/UTP network cable designed for space-constrained installations. It offers Cat6a performance in a thinner, more flexible jacket to simplify routing in IT racks and cabinets while maintaining backward compatibility with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 systems. The cable is tested to 500 MHz and supports up to 1000 Mbps according to the Cat6a standard; its white finish fits modern setups and the short 0.5 m length is suitable for patching close connections.

Advantages

The slim construction and increased flexibility improve accessibility and make installation and rearrangement faster in dense rack environments. A reduced cable diameter helps improve airflow within cabinets, which can reduce thermal stress and the risk of downtime. The cable is manufactured with a reinforced strain-relief boot to protect the RJ-45 connector during installation in tight spaces. U/UTP shielding reduces external interference for reliable signal transmission.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in crowded IT racks and network cabinets
• Short links between switches, patch panels and servers
• Desktop and office equipment where a neat, low-profile cable is needed
• Environments requiring backward compatibility with Cat6/Cat5e/Cat5

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a (tested up to 500 MHz)
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbps (per supplied source)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall U-shielding)
• Colour: White
• Weight: 0.018 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port on a switch, patch panel or device and the other plug to the corresponding port. Route the cable through rack channels or cable management accessories, taking advantage of its slim and flexible design to minimize bends and avoid sharp kinks. Ensure both ends are fully seated until the connector latch clicks to secure a reliable connection.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable or exceeding bend radii that stress the conductor pairs; keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and follow standard cabling practice for separation from power lines. Use in short patching scenarios (0.5 m) where a compact, low-profile connection is required.
