Microconnect MC-SFTP6A005Y networking cable Yellow 0.5 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect CAT6a Patch Cable (MC-SFTP6A005Y) is a 0.5 m yellow networking cable designed for environments that require 10 Gbit/s performance and bandwidth up to 500 MHz. The cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and features gold-plated RJ45 contacts for reliable signal transmission. The molded boot includes meter markings for quick length identification and a latch protection to reduce the risk of clip breakage.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is suitable for 10G Ethernet applications. The S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against crosstalk and external interference. Gold-plated (50 µ") RJ45 contacts enhance connectivity and corrosion resistance. Molded boots with meter markings and latch protection improve handling and durability in installation environments.

Suitable for

• Short connections between network equipment (switches, routers, patch panels)
• High-speed 10G Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Office and home network patching where reliable 10G performance is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to your network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other end to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch snaps into place. Use the meter markings on the boot to verify cable length during installation. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For 10G links, keep cable runs short where possible and use proper cable management to avoid excessive bending or kinking. Verify compatibility with your network equipment and ensure both ends are securely connected. Replace cables showing damaged boots or connectors to maintain reliable connections.
