Microconnect MC-SFTP6A20B networking cable Blue 20 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect MC-SFTP6A20B is a 20 m Cat6a S/FTP patch cable designed for high-performance network connections that require up to 10 Gbit/s throughput and bandwidth up to 500 MHz. The cable has gold-plated RJ-45 connectors with 50µ" plating for reliable contact, an anti-break latch protection to prevent clip damage and meter markings on the boot to quickly identify the cable length.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP design reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal stability in dense or electrically noisy environments. The Cat6a specification supports 10G Ethernet and higher bandwidth applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and reinforced latch protection increase durability and connection reliability during repeated use and installation.

Suitable for

• 10G Ethernet backbone and server room cabling
• High-bandwidth data transfer and multimedia streaming
• Dense office environments with potential EMI
• Structured cabling runs requiring 20 m length

• Weight: 0.516 kg

How to use

Route the cable between network devices, ensuring the shield terminations are properly handled if used with shielded racks or patch panels. Plug RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding ports until the latch clicks; use the meter markings on the boot to confirm the cable length during installation. Avoid tight bends and kinks, and secure the cable with appropriate cable management to maintain performance.

Recommendations

The Microconnect Cat6a S/FTP cable is recommended for installations that require 10G performance and reduced interference; ensure correct grounding of shielded components and follow best practices for structured cabling to achieve optimal results.
