Ethernet cable MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6A Slim 0.5 m — red

MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6A Slim 0.5 m — red is a slim unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance in short-distance connections. The half-metre length and flexible slim jacket make this CAT6A cable suitable for tidy installations in racks, patch panels and desktop environments where space is limited and cable management is important. The red colour provides clear visual identification in structured cabling setups and local networks.

Advantages

The cable delivers CAT6A electrical characteristics for reliable high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbps over short runs while using a reduced-diameter, flexible design that eases routing in dense installations. Its unshielded U/UTP construction simplifies grounding requirements and reduces weight, and the 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable in patching scenarios. Colour coding enables fast identification of network segments or device connections.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels in racks
• Desktop device connections where minimal cable slack is required
• Structured cabling runs inside equipment frames and server cabinets
• Environments that require clear visual identification of network links

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A (supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Conductor type: twisted-pair, unshielded (U/UTP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket: slim, flexible design for tight spaces
• Colour: red
• Intended use: patching and short interconnects in LAN installations

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, patch panel or endpoint) and the other end to the corresponding port. Route the slim cable through cable management channels or behind equipment to avoid kinks and sharp bends; the flexible jacket allows tight bends but maintain reasonable bend radii to preserve signal integrity. For best results keep the run length at the intended 0.5 m and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m CAT6A slim cable for short, high-performance links where reduced bulk and clear colour coding improve organization. Inspect connectors for dirt or damage before installation and replace any cable that shows visible wear or permanent deformation to maintain optimal network reliability.
