Microconnect MC-SFTP6A05P networking cable Purple 5 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect MC-SFTP6A05P Cat6a patch cable, 5 m in length and purple in colour, is designed for high-performance network environments requiring 10 Gbit/s throughput and bandwidth up to 500 MHz. It features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and gold-plated RJ45 contacts for reliable signal transmission. The cable includes reinforced 50µ" RJ45 connectors with latch protection and meter markings on the boot for easy length identification.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding improves resistance to external electromagnetic interference, while the Cat6a specification supports up to 10 Gbit/s network speeds. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable connections. Reinforced 50µ" connectors and latch protection reduce the risk of connector damage during installation and use. Meter markings on the boot help quickly identify cable length in dense cabling setups.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• High-bandwidth office networks and backbone links
• Home networks requiring future-proof cabling for high-speed internet
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s

How to use

Connect each RJ45 end to the corresponding network ports on switches, routers or network cards. Ensure latches click into place to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use the meter markings on the boot to confirm cable length when planning or documenting cabling runs.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid kinking the cable and maintain bend radius recommended for Cat6a cabling. Where possible, separate network cables from power lines and high-voltage equipment to minimise interference. Inspect connectors for secure seating and replace cables showing physical damage.
