Microconnect MC-SFTP6A01B networking cable Blue 1 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect MC-SFTP6A01B is a Cat6a 1 m networking cable designed for stable high-speed data transmission up to 10 000 Mbit/s and bandwidths up to 500 MHz. It uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and features RJ-45 connectors with 50 μ" gold plating for reliable contact. The cable is blue, has meter markings on the boot for quick length identification and a reinforced latch protection to reduce the risk of clip breakage.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP construction improves immunity to crosstalk and external interference, supporting consistent 10G performance. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide improved contact and corrosion resistance. Meter marking on the boot simplifies installation and cable management, while latch protection increases connector durability in frequent plug/unplug scenarios.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in switches and servers
• Structured cabling in offices and data closets requiring Cat6a performance
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, large file transfers and virtualization
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are preferred

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a
• Length: 1 m
• Data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10G)
• Bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foiled twisted pairs)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router, NIC) and the other end to the target port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Use the meter marking on the boot to verify the cable length during installation and route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain. For rack installations, secure excess cable with appropriate cable management to maintain signal performance.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for permanent or semi-permanent links where 10G throughput and reduced interference are required. Avoid kinking the cable, and keep a minimum bend radius as specified by standard practice for Cat6a to preserve performance. For electrically noisy environments, verify shielding continuity through proper termination and grounding of connected equipment if applicable.
