Microconnect MC-UTP6A20S Netwerkkabel zwart 20 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect MC-UTP6A20S is a Cat6a U/UTP networking cable with a length of 20 m, designed for applications that require up to 10 Gbit/s data rates and bandwidths up to 500 MHz. The cable features RJ-45 connectors with 50 µin gold plating for improved contact quality, a latch protection to reduce the risk of clip breakage, and metric length markings on the boot for easy identification.

Advantages

This Cat6a patch cable supports 10Gbit/s transmission and up to 500 MHz bandwidth while the U/UTP construction reduces external interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve signal reliability and corrosion resistance, and the latch protection increases connector durability. Meter markings on the boot simplify cable management and installation in racks and structured cabling.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet networks (10 Gigabit)
• Server rooms and data centres
• Structured cabling in offices and homes
• Applications requiring low interference and reliable connections

• Weight: 0.516 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router, NIC) and the other to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are inserted fully until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges and sources of electromagnetic interference. Use the meter markings on the boot to verify required length during installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running this U/UTP cable parallel to power lines and keep bend radius at least four times the cable diameter. In environments with high EMI, consider using shielded cable versions. Regularly inspect connector latches and replace the cable if contacts or boots show damage.
