Microconnect V-UTP6A03-SLIM networking cable Grey 3 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP6A03-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 3m Grey is a slim Cat6a network cable designed for space-saving installations in IT racks and cabinets. It offers high-frequency performance up to 500 MHz and supports data rates compatible with Cat6a standards while remaining backwards compatible with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 connections. The cable is 3 meters long, grey in colour and fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends.

Advantages

The slim and flexible design improves accessibility in dense cabling environments and enables easier, quicker cable routing and switching. Reduced cable thickness helps improve air flow inside racks and cabinets, lowering the risk of overheating and downtime. The connectors include a protective strain relief to reduce the chance of damage when pulling the cable through tight spaces. The cable is tested up to 500 MHz and supports Cat6a performance levels.

Suitable for

• Patching in dense server racks and network cabinets
• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in data centres
• Desktop and office network connections where space is limited
• Upgrading existing Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 installations to Cat6a performance

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a (backwards compatible with Cat6/Cat5e/Cat5)
• Test frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Maximum data rate: compatible with Cat6a (manufacturer lists up to 10000 Mbit/s)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Colour: Grey
• Weight: 0.086 kg

How to use

Route the cable between devices ensuring connectors are fully inserted into RJ-45 ports until the latch clicks. Use the slim cable to replace thicker patch cords where space is constrained, guiding the cable through rack openings and cable management channels. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the integrated strain relief on the connectors reduces stress during installation in tight spaces.

Recommendations

For best performance, maintain recommended bend radius and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-power electrical lines. Use appropriate cable management in racks and cabinets to preserve airflow and ease future maintenance.
