Microconnect MC-SFTP6A005S networking cable Black 0.5 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect CAT6a Patch Cable (MC-SFTP6A005S) is a 0.5 m S/FTP networking cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. It supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and bandwidth up to 500 MHz, and comes in a black jacket with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable conductivity. The cable includes meter marking on the boot for easy length identification and latch protection to reduce the risk of clip damage.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable provides enhanced performance and reduced electromagnetic interference thanks to S/FTP shielding. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The 50µ" RJ45 connectors ensure stable contact, while the molded boots with meter markings facilitate installation and cable management. Latch protection helps prevent accidental damage to the connector clip.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• High-bandwidth LAN connections for switches and routers
• Short patch connections between network devices and patch panels

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router, or NIC) and the other end to the corresponding port on the destination device or patch panel. Ensure the latch clicks into place to confirm a secure connection, taking care not to bend the cable sharply near the connector. Use the printed meter marking on the boot to verify cable length when routing and organising cables.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable length within recommended standards for Cat6a runs and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use in environments where S/FTP shielding and short patch lengths are appropriate, such as racks, server cabinets, and structured cabling within data centres or offices.
