Network cable MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6A Slim 1 m Red

MicroConnect U/UTP CAT6A Slim 1 m Red is a 1-meter unshielded twisted pair network cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet in environments where a compact cable profile is required. The slim CAT6A cable provides the electrical performance of CAT6A while reducing bulk, making it suitable for tidy installations in patch panels, cable channels, and desktop connections. The red jacket allows easy visual identification for structured cabling and short device-to-device runs.

Advantages

The slim construction minimizes space usage in crowded cable ducts and patch areas without compromising CAT6A signal performance for short runs. Being U/UTP (unshielded) it is easier to bend and route in tight spaces compared with shielded alternatives. The 1 meter length is convenient for patching between adjacent ports in racks, switches, and wall outlets, and the red color supports clear cable management and fault tracing.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch ports and patch panels in server racks
• Connecting desktop devices to nearby wall outlets or switches
• Short horizontal runs in office or home network installations
• Environments where color-coded cabling improves identification and maintenance

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A (10 Gigabit Ethernet support)
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 1 meter
• Profile: Slim/low-profile jacket for reduced bulk
• Color: Red
• Suitable for: Short runs and patching in racks, desks, and cabinets

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device or patch panel port and the other into the corresponding switch, wall outlet, or device. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension to maintain signal integrity; the slim jacket allows flexible routing through narrow channels and between closely spaced ports. For best performance keep the cable length appropriate for the intended run and avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines where possible.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT6A slim cable for short, high-speed connections where space is limited. For longer runs or installations requiring electromagnetic shielding, choose a shielded cable variant. Maintain organized, color-coded cabling to simplify troubleshooting and future changes.
