Ethernet cable MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6A Slim 5 m — Blue, shielded twisted pair performance

MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6A Slim 5 m — Blue is a slim unshielded twisted pair Ethernet patch cable designed for 10GBASE-T and gigabit LAN environments. At 5 meters length the cable delivers Category 6A performance with reduced crosstalk and stable data throughput for connections between switches, routers, workstations and patch panels in office and home networks. The blue jacket and compact round profile make it suitable for visible runs and limited-space installations while maintaining signal quality for high-speed applications.

Advantages

The slim U/UTP CAT6A construction combines high-frequency performance with a reduced diameter that simplifies cable management in racks and along desks. The cable supports 10GBASE-T over short runs and provides improved alien crosstalk resistance compared with lower category cables. Flexible jacket material and reliable RJ45 terminations ensure easy insertion and stable contacts during frequent reconfigurations. The blue color provides quick visual identification in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• 10GBASE-T links in server rooms and small data closets
• Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and PCs
• Patch panel to switch or workstation patching in office environments
• Home networks requiring high-speed wired connections for media streaming and gaming

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A (meets performance for 10GBASE-T over typical short distances)
• Topology: U/UTP — unshielded twisted pair with no overall shield
• Length: 5 m
• Conductor: solid or stranded copper conductors suitable for patch cable use
• Connector: RJ45 at both ends with standard 8P8C termination
• Jacket: slim round profile, flexible outer sheath, blue color
• Applications: supports 10 Gbps and gigabit Ethernet signalling over copper

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device port (switch, router or network card) and the other end to the corresponding patch panel or device port. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force to preserve internal pair geometry; maintain a minimum bend radius consistent with the cable's slim construction. For best performance, keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines and source of electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

Use this MicroConnect CAT6A slim patch cable for short to medium patch runs up to 5 m where space saving and visible cable routing are important. For installations requiring shielded cabling or longer 10GBASE-T runs, select an appropriate shielded or higher-specification cable and follow local cabling standards for permanent link installation.
