Network patch cable MicroConnect CAT6A U/UTP Slim 0.25 m Blue

MicroConnect CAT6A U/UTP Slim 0.25 m Blue is a short patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in tight spaces. The unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) construction meets Cat6A electrical characteristics for high-speed copper networking. With a slim cable diameter and molded boot connectors, this 0.25 m cable is intended for short interconnects between patch panels, switches and network devices where space is limited and cable management matters.

Advantages

The slim profile reduces congestion in high-density installations and allows closer port spacing on patch panels and switches. U/UTP Cat6A performance supports 10GBASE-T over short runs while keeping the cable flexible and easy to route. Molded connector boots protect the RJ45 plugs and provide strain relief for repeated handling and tight bends. The blue jacket provides color-coding for simple identification in structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• Short connections between network switches and patch panels in server racks
• Desktop or office equipment linking where cable length must be minimal
• High-density patch fields and data centre top-of-rack interconnects
• Temporary lab or testbench setups requiring compact, reliable copper links

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper)
• Conductor type: unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Color: blue
• Connectors: RJ45 on both ends with molded boots
• Form factor: slim profile suitable for high-density routing

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the source device and the other into the destination port, ensuring each connector is fully seated and the latch clicks into place. Route the slim cable along existing cable management paths to avoid blocking airflow or obstructing rack doors. For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends with radii smaller than the cable's bend tolerance and do not stretch the cable under tension. For permanent installations, verify link speed and signal integrity after connection.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.25 m MicroConnect CAT6A U/UTP Slim cable for short, high-density interconnects where 10G performance is required over copper. Keep runs short to maintain optimal signal quality, separate from high-power cables to minimize interference, and replace any cable showing connector damage or excessive deformation.
