Network patch cable MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6A Slim 0.25 m — yellow

MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6A Slim 0.25 m patch cable in yellow is a short, flexible Ethernet cable designed for high-speed local connections. The unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) CAT6A construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet on short runs while the slim cable profile and compact RJ45 connectors make it suitable for dense patch panels, switch-to-switch links, wall jacks and desktop setups. The 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in server racks and network cabinets.

Advantages

The slim design provides a smaller bend radius and easier routing in crowded cable channels without sacrificing performance for typical short-distance 10GBASE-T links. The yellow jacket offers clear visual identification for network segmentation or maintenance. Flexible conductor and compact connector housings simplify installation in tight spaces and behind equipment. Being U/UTP, the cable remains cost-efficient while meeting CAT6A electrical specifications for near-end crosstalk and return loss on short runs.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels in server rooms
• Direct connections to desktops or wall outlets where minimal slack is required
• Cable management in dense racks and network cabinets
• Temporary or permanent links in office LANs requiring 10 Gigabit speed over short distances

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 0.25 m (short patch cable)
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends, compact slim connector housing
• Color: yellow jacket for easy identification
• Performance: designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances (meets CAT6A electrical characteristics for short runs)
• Form factor: slim profile for tight spaces and dense patching

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port on switches, patch panels, wall outlets or Ethernet-enabled devices until the latch clicks. Use the 0.25 m length to create direct short links without excess cable; avoid sharp bends or crushing to maintain signal integrity. If routing through cable organizers or vertical managers, ensure the slim cable follows gentle curves and is not overstressed at the connector boot.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this CAT6A U/UTP slim cable for short 10GBASE-T connections within racks or between adjacent equipment. Keep runs within typical short-distance limits for unshielded CAT6A to reduce electromagnetic interference risk; separate from high-power cables where possible. Replace if the connector latch or jacket shows visible damage.
