Microconnect MC-SFTP6A02P networking cable Purple 2 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect MC-SFTP6A02P is a 2 m Cat6a networking cable with S/FTP shielding, designed for high-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbit/s and bandwidths up to 500 MHz. It has gold-plated RJ45 connectors with 50µ" plating for improved contact quality, a reinforced latch protector to reduce the risk of clip breakage, and meter markings on the boot for quick length identification. The cable comes in a purple color for easy visual identification in installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable 10 Gbit/s performance over short to medium runs. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors improve conductivity and corrosion resistance. The latch protector increases connector durability during repeated plugging and unplugging, while boot meter markings simplify cable management and installation.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• High-bandwidth office networks and network closets
• LAN gaming setups and multimedia streaming requiring stable high throughput
• Patch panels and switch-to-switch links within short to medium distances

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Connectors: RJ45 – gold-plated contacts
• Connector plating: 50 µ" gold on contacts
• Length: 2 m
• Colour: purple
• Weight: 0.06 kg

How to use

Connect each RJ45 end to the corresponding Ethernet port on your network devices (switch, router, server or NIC). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and the latch protector is positioned to avoid accidental release. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal signal integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbit/s performance, keep individual cable runs within recommended Cat6a length limits and avoid bundling large numbers of cables tightly; use proper cable management and maintain a minimum bend radius to preserve shielding and connector integrity.
