Microconnect V-UTP6A02-SLIM networking cable Grey 2 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP6A02-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 2 m Grey is a slim Cat6a patch cable designed for space-saving installations in racks and cabinets. The 2 m cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and supports Cat6a performance up to 500 MHz / 1000 Mbps while remaining backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 standards. Its thinner, flexible construction improves accessibility during installation and contributes to better airflow inside IT enclosures.

Advantages

The slim design reduces cable bulk in dense installations and allows easier routing and switching in confined spaces. Increased flexibility simplifies handling and connector insertion. The cable is tested to Cat6a performance levels and is backward compatible with earlier Ethernet standards. A molded snagless strain-relief protects the connector latch from damage when pulling the cable through tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and network racks with limited space
• Server cabinets and data center horizontal cabling
• Office and home network connections where neat cable management is required
• Connections between switches, routers and end devices over short distances (2 m)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other end to the target device. Route the cable through the rack or cabinet using available cable management channels; the slim and flexible jacket eases installation in tight spaces. Avoid excessive bending near the connectors and do not pull on the connector housing. The molded snagless relief helps protect the latch during installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for horizontal cabling, avoid tight bends and maintain separation from sources of electrical interference. Use slim patch cables where high port density and good airflow are priorities.
