Microconnect V-UTP6A01W-SLIM networking cable White 1 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP6A01W-SLIM is a 1 m Cat6a networking cable in white with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It is a slim, flexible U/UTP cable designed for space-constrained installations in IT racks and cabinets, offering improved airflow and reliable backwards compatibility with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 networks. The cable is tested up to 500 MHz and supports high data rates, and includes a snagless design to protect the connector during installation.

Advantages

This slim Cat6a cable occupies less space in racks and cabinets and is more flexible than standard cables, which makes routing and switching easier in tight installations. Improved airflow around the cable can reduce thermal buildup in enclosed spaces. The cable is tested to Cat6a performance (up to 500 MHz) and remains compatible with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 equipment. A snagless boot protects the RJ-45 connector when pulling the cable through confined areas.

Suitable for

• Patching and device connections in crowded IT racks and server cabinets
• Wall-mounted network points and desktop connections where a short 1 m cable is needed
• Environments that benefit from improved airflow and reduced cable bulk

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a (tested up to 500 MHz)
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall sheath)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: White
• Data rate: supports high-speed Ethernet (backwards compatible with Cat6/Cat5e/Cat5)
• Weight: 0.03 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network switch, patch panel or router and the other RJ-45 end to the device you wish to network. Route the slim cable through the rack or cabinet space, using the cables flexibility to minimise bends and avoid sharp kinks. The snagless boot protects the connector when pulling the cable through tight spaces; ensure clips engage fully in the device port for a secure connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends with radii smaller than recommended for Ethernet cabling and keep the cable separate from heavy power lines to minimise interference. Use the 1 m cable for short patching runs and replace with longer lengths where needed to prevent strain on connectors.
