Microconnect MC-SFTP6A10Y networking cable Yellow 10 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect MC-SFTP6A10Y is a 10 m Cat6a S/FTP patch cable designed for high-speed network connections up to 10 Gbit/s and bandwidths up to 500 MHz. It features RJ-45 connectors with 50µ gold plating for improved contact quality, a latch protection to prevent clip breakage, and meter markings on the boot for easy length identification. The bright yellow jacket aids visual identification in complex cabling setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable 10 Gbit/s transmission. Gold-plated 50µ RJ-45 connectors provide reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. Latch protection increases connector durability, and the printed meter markings simplify installation and troubleshooting in patch panels and racks.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server rooms requiring 10 Gbit/s links
• High-performance LAN backbones and switch-to-switch connections
• Office networks and structured cabling where clear cable identification is needed
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other end to the corresponding port on the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Use the meter markings on the boot to confirm cable length during installation and routing. Avoid tight bends and keep the cable away from high-power electrical cables to maintain optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in installations that require 10 Gbit/s links or where EMI protection is important. Maintain minimum bend radius specified by installation standards and avoid excessive mechanical stress on the connectors; the latch protection reduces—but does not eliminate—the risk of clip damage.
