Microconnect MC-UTP6A05 Network Cable Grey 5 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect CAT6a Patch Cable (MC-UTP6A05) is a 5-meter U/UTP network cable designed for high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s and bandwidth requirements up to 500 MHz. It uses RJ-45 connectors with 50µ" gold plating for improved contact and features latch protection to reduce the risk of clip damage. The grey cable is meter-marked on the boot for easy length identification and is compatible with Cat6a networking equipment for home and office installations.

Advantages

The cable supports 10Gbit speeds and extended bandwidth, combining U/UTP shielding with gold-plated 50µ" RJ45 contacts for reliable connectivity. Latch protection increases connector durability and meter markings on the boot simplify cable management and installation. The 5 m length provides flexibility for common workstation and rack connections.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN links requiring 10Gbit (Cat6a)
• Office and data center patching between switches, patch panels and devices
• Home network setups where higher bandwidth and future-proofing are needed
• Short to medium runs up to 5 meters between equipment

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the Cat6a cable to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or NIC) and the other end to the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure the latch snaps into place to secure the connection; the latch protection reduces the chance of accidental clip breakage during insertion and removal. Use the meter markings on the boot to confirm cable length when planning cable routes.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and heavy kinking of the cable, maintain separation from strong electromagnetic sources, and keep runs within recommended Ethernet guidelines. Use in environments that require Cat6a performance and where a 5 m length meets your routing needs.
