Microconnect V-UTP6A03S slanke netwerkkabel zwart 3 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP6A03S-SLIM RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m Black is a slim, flexible networking cable designed for space-constrained installations in IT racks and cabinets. Compliant with the Cat6a standard, the cable supports high-speed links and is backwards compatible with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5. Its thin profile improves airflow in enclosures and provides easier access for installers while maintaining performance up to 500 MHz and 1000 Mbps testing consistency.

Advantages

The slim construction reduces bulk in patch panels and cable management trays while the flexible sheath facilitates routing in tight spaces. V-UTP shielding minimises interference and the RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure broad compatibility. Tested to Cat6a frequency ranges, the cable supports high data rates and the smaller diameter contributes to improved air circulation within racks, which can help reduce thermal stress on equipment.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and dense rack/cabinet installations
• Office and data center horizontal and vertical cabling
• Connections between switches, patch panels and network endpoints
• Environments where improved airflow and space saving are required

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable through the rack or cabinet space taking advantage of its slim, flexible profile to pass through tight openings and cable management channels. Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or network devices until the connector latch clicks into place. Ensure both ends are seated firmly and avoid excessive bending near the connector ends to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat6a slim cable in structured cabling environments with proper patch panels and cable managers. Maintain recommended bend radius and avoid compressing the cable under heavy panels. When deploying in high-density racks, the slim profile will aid airflow—combine with standard cooling practices to reduce risk of overheating.
