Microconnect V-UTP6A05 cavo di rete slim grigio 5 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP6A05-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m Grey is a slim Cat6a network cable designed for space-constrained installations in IT racks and cabinets. It combines reduced thickness and high flexibility with U/UTP Cat6a performance, supporting high data rates and offering backwards compatibility with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5. The cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and comes in a neutral grey colour.

Advantages

The slim construction improves access and routing in densely packed racks, while the flexible jacket allows easier handling and faster connector changes. Reduced cable bulk enhances airflow in cabinets, which helps lower the risk of overheating-related downtime. Each cable is electrically tested up to 500 MHz and designed to meet Cat6a channel requirements. The connector latch features a protective snoggle to reduce the chance of damage during tight installations.

Suitable for

• High-density rack and cabinet installations
• Patch panels and switch connections in data centers
• Office and home network connections where space is limited
• Environments requiring Cat6a performance with backwards compatibility

How to use

Route the Microconnect Cat6a slim cable through the rack or cabinet openings, taking advantage of its reduced diameter to pass through narrow channels. Plug RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding switch, patch panel or device ports until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and do not apply excessive pulling force when installing through confined spaces to maintain connector and cable integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, maintain bend radii recommended for Cat6a cables, keep cable runs within the application’s length limits, and ensure proper patch panel and switch port terminations. Use the slim cable where improved airflow and space savings are priorities; if additional shielding or outdoor rating is required, select an appropriate alternative.
