Microconnect V-UTP6A10S-SLIM networking cable Black 10 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP6A10S-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m is a slim U/UTP networking cable designed for high-speed data transmission in space-constrained installations. At 10 meters length with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a black jacket, this Cat6a cable supports up to 1000 Mbps (Cat6a standard testing to 500 MHz) and is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5, while offering improved airflow and flexibility for rack and cabinet use.

Advantages

This slim Cat6a cable is thinner and more flexible than standard Cat6a cables, improving accessibility in dense IT racks and cabinets and enabling quicker switching and routing. The reduced cable diameter helps maintain better airflow inside enclosures, which can lower thermal buildup and reduce the risk of downtime. Cables are tested to Cat6a performance (up to 500 MHz) and include a strain-relief snuggle on the connector to help prevent damage during installation in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Horizontal and patch cabling in server racks and network cabinets
• Environments with limited space where cable management and airflow matter
• Connections between switches, patch panels and network devices over distances up to 10 m

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a (U/UTP)
• Test frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Rated speed: up to 1000 Mbps (Cat6a tested), summary describes up to 10000 Mbit/s capability
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.062 kg

How to use

Route the Microconnect slim Cat6a cable through the rack or cabinet space, taking advantage of its reduced diameter and flexibility to reach patch panels and switches. Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the appropriate ports until they click, ensuring the strain-relief snuggle is seated to protect the connector during tight installations. Verify link and speed settings on connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

Use the cable for horizontal or patch connections up to 10 m and avoid excessive bending or kinking near the connector. For optimal airflow and thermal performance in racks, bundle and route cables neatly and avoid blocking ventilation paths.
