Product Information

Full details

The Microconnect MC-UTP6A15S is a high-performance 15-meter Cat6a networking cable designed for IT professionals and home office users who require reliable 10Gbit data speeds and 500MHz bandwidth. It provides a robust connection for demanding environments, featuring snagless boot protection and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. While its 15-meter length offers excellent reach for large rooms or data centers, users should note that as a U/UTP cable, it lacks individual pair shielding, meaning it should be routed away from heavy electromagnetic interference sources for peak performance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, this cable fully supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it suitable for devices like IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones.

Does this cable support 10 Gigabit speeds?

Yes, the CAT6a standard is specifically designed to support data transfer speeds up to 10Gbit over its supported length.

What is an LSZH jacket?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. It is a material used in cable jacketing that emits very little smoke and no toxic halogens in the event of a fire.

Are the connectors shielded?

The cable features U/UTP shielding, meaning the twisted pairs are not individually shielded. It is designed for standard high-speed networking environments.

Why are there markings on the cable boot?

The meter markings are included to help you quickly identify the length of the cable during inventory or when managing large bundles in a network rack.

Troubleshooting

Network device not recognized or link light is off

Unplug both ends and firmly reseat the connectors until they click. Test the device with a shorter, known-working cable to verify the port itself is not faulty.

Slow or intermittent data speeds

Inspect the length of the cable for physical kinks, heavy pinching, or sharp bends. Move the cable away from power cables or electrical motors that might be inducing interference.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed 10Gbit transfer rate
  • Durable snagless connector design
  • Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE)
  • Convenient length markings on the boot
  • Safety-compliant LSZH jacket material

Cons

  • U/UTP shielding is susceptible to extreme EMI
  • 15-meter length may require cable management to avoid clutter
  • Fixed length cannot be adjusted by the user

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the MC-UTP6A15S is straightforward due to its standard RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. Ensure the connectors click firmly into your networking equipment to maintain a secure lock.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with all standard RJ-45 ports, including routers, switches, patch panels, and modern network interface cards (NICs).
  • Cable Management: Use velcro cable ties rather than plastic zip ties to bundle the 15-meter cable; overtightening with zip ties can deform the cable and degrade signal quality.
  • Care: Keep the gold-plated contacts clean and free of debris. If the cable is not in use, protect the ends with dust caps. Avoid pulling the cable sharply around corners to prevent internal wire breakage.
