Microconnect V-UTP6A01-SLIM networking cable Grey 1 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP6A01-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Grey is a slim U/UTP Cat6a networking cable designed for space-saving installations in IT racks and cabinets. With a 1 m length and grey finish, the cable combines reduced thickness and increased flexibility while maintaining Cat6a performance and backwards compatibility with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5.

Advantages

The slim design provides improved accessibility in tight spaces and easier patching. Greater flexibility simplifies routing and connector handling, and the reduced cable bulk helps maintain better airflow inside racks and cabinets. The cable is tested up to 500 MHz and supports Cat6a performance. A protective snagless boot prevents damage to the RJ-45 connector during installations in confined areas.

Suitable for

• Patching in dense server racks and network cabinets
• Workspace connections where space behind panels is limited
• Patch panels, switches and wall outlets requiring Cat6a performance

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a (backwards compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, Cat5)
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall jacket)
• Test frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (as per product summary)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: Grey
• Weight: 0.014 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your switch, patch panel or network device and the other plug to the corresponding port. Route the cable through the rack or cabinet, taking advantage of its slim profile to fit in narrow spaces. Ensure connectors are fully seated to achieve a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within standard Ethernet length limits for patching (1 m in this case) and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. Keep bends gentle and secure the cable to reduce strain on the RJ-45 connectors.
