Microconnect MC-SFTP6A20 networking cable Grey 20 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect CAT6a Patch Cable (MC-SFTP6A20) is a 20 m S/FTP Ethernet cable designed for high-performance networking. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and bandwidths up to 500 MHz, with gold-plated RJ45 connectors and meter markings on the boot for quick length identification. The cable is grey and suited for installations that require improved shielding and reliable transmission in environments with potential interference.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity for high-speed connections. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure stable contact and corrosion resistance. Enhanced 50µ" RJ45 contacts and latch protection increase connector durability while meter markings on the boot make it easy to identify cable length during installation.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet networks
• Server rooms and data centres
• High-density cabling installations
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

How to use

Route the cable between network devices (switch, router, server or patch panel) and insert the RJ45 connectors firmly until the latch clicks. Use the meter markings on the boot to confirm the installed length. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable separated from strong electromagnetic sources when possible. Ensure proper strain relief at patch panels and racks to prevent connector stress.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in professional or demanding home networks, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for links up to 20 m and pair it with compatible Cat6a-rated equipment and shielded connectors to preserve shielding continuity.
