Network cable MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6A Slim 5 m, yellow

MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6A Slim 5 m, yellow is an unshielded twisted-pair network cable engineered to meet CAT6A performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The 5-meter length and slim, flexible jacket make this cable suitable for short to medium runs between switches, patch panels, routers and workstations. Its yellow color aids visual identification in patching fields and structured cabling installations while the U/UTP design provides reliable data transmission in environments where cable shielding is not required.

Advantages

This slim CAT6A cable combines high transmission capacity with a reduced diameter jacket for improved bend radius and easier routing in constrained spaces such as cable trays and racks. The unshielded construction simplifies termination to standard RJ45 connectors and is compatible with typical networking equipment. The 5 m length offers flexibility for desktop connections or short patch links without excessive slack, and the bright yellow jacket improves cable management and fault tracing.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in offices and data closets
• Patch connections between switches, patch panels and routers
• Workstation and desktop networking
• Structured cabling where color-coded identification is needed
• Rack installations requiring flexible, space-saving cabling

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A (augmented Category 6)
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 5 m
• Conductor configuration: 4 twisted pairs
• Nominal application: 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair
• Jacket: slim, flexible design for improved bend radius
• Color: yellow for visual identification

How to use

Route the cable between network devices, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to preserve signal integrity. Terminate with compatible RJ45 connectors or use pre-terminated plugs if already fitted. For patching, push the connector fully into the port until it clicks. When installing in racks or trays, secure the cable using Velcro or cable ties at regular intervals and maintain separation from power cables where possible to reduce potential interference.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, install this U/UTP CAT6A cable in environments where electromagnetic interference is limited or where separation from power cabling can be maintained. Use appropriate RJ45 terminations rated for CAT6A performance, and avoid excessive pulling force or sharp bends during installation. Color-coding the patch field with yellow cables aids troubleshooting and future changes.
