Shielded U/UTP CAT6A Slim Patch Cable 1 m, MicroConnect, Yellow

MicroConnect Shielded U/UTP CAT6A Slim Patch Cable, 1 m in yellow, provides a reduced-diameter cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections up to Category 6A. The cable is intended for short-run 10 Gigabit networks and combines a slim profile with shielding to support reliable data transmission in constrained cable pathways. It is compatible with standard RJ45 ports on switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in office or data center environments.

Advantages

The slim outer diameter reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in dense racks and confined conduits while maintaining CAT6A electrical performance for 10 Gb/s links over typical short distances. Shielding helps reduce external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, contributing to consistent signal integrity. The 1 m length and bright yellow jacket simplify identification in patch fields and structured cabling installations.

Suitable for

• Short-run 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and patch panels
• Connections between routers, switches and servers in racks
• Patch cable use in office network closets and data center cabinets
• Tight cable management scenarios where reduced diameter is required

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A (supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances)
• Shielding: shielded pair with overall shield to reduce EMI and crosstalk
• Length: 1 m
• Conductor type: twisted pairs suitable for high-speed data
• Jacket color: yellow for visual identification
• Connector type: RJ45 compatible modular plugs
• Profile: slim/reduced outer diameter for improved cable management

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs at each end to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network equipment such as switches, routers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched to establish a secure link. Route the cable through cable management channels or patch panels, avoiding sharp bends; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for twisted-pair cables to preserve signal performance. For best results in high-density environments, label both ends if required and use the yellow jacket for fast visual identification.

Usage recommendations

Use this slim CAT6A shielded patch cable for short, high-speed links within racks or between adjacent network devices. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and prevent repeated tight bending or tensile strain. For long-distance runs beyond recommended CAT6A reach, consider using appropriate rated horizontal cabling or fiber optic solutions.
