Network cable MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6A Slim patch cable 0.5 m Yellow

MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6A Slim patch cable 0.5 m Yellow is a half-meter unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable engineered to support high-speed 10 Gbps networks while occupying minimal rack and cable-management space. The cable follows CAT6A performance parameters for bandwidth and crosstalk control, and its slim outer jacket and compact conductor geometry make it suitable for dense installations and patching between switches, patch panels and workstations. The yellow jacket provides clear visual identification of a specific network segment or purpose.

Advantages

The slim jacket and reduced diameter allow for tighter bend radii and higher cable density in cabinets and underfloor trays without compromising signal integrity. U/UTP construction provides standard CAT6A performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs and typical patching scenarios. A 0.5 m length minimizes slack and clutter at patch panels and switch ports, improving airflow and cable management. The standardized RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with common network equipment.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in data cabinets
• Connecting routers, switches and workstations in office environments
• High-density rack installations where space-saving cables are needed
• Short 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in server rooms and comms closets

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A (supports 10 Gbps)
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Yellow
• Form factor: Slim/low-profile jacket
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated, 8P8C
• Typical use: Patch cable for LAN equipment

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your switch, patch panel, router or workstation until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m length to create tidy short links between adjacent ports, avoiding excessive cable loops. Route the slim cable through cable organizers, racks or trays, maintaining recommended bend radii for CAT6A to preserve signal quality. For best results, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep it clear of sources of electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

Choose the yellow MicroConnect slim CAT6A patch cable for clearly identified short links in dense network environments; verify that cable routing maintains gentle bends and separation from power cabling to ensure reliable 10 Gbps performance.
