Microconnect MC-SFTP6A20P networking cable Purple 20 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect MC-SFTP6A20P is a 20 m Cat6a S/FTP patch cable designed for high-performance networking. It supports 10 Gbit/s speeds and bandwidth up to 500 MHz, and comes in a purple jacket with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable features gold-plated contacts and meter markings on the boot for easy length identification.

Advantages

This cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity in demanding environments. The RJ-45 connectors have 50µ" gold plating for improved contact reliability and latch protection to reduce the risk of clip damage during installation and removal.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Server rooms and data centers
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming and large file transfers
• Structured cabling and patch panels

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other end to the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Use the meter markings on the boot to verify cable length when routing or installing. Avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the S/FTP cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and maintain separation from power cabling. Use proper cable management in racks and conduits to prevent stress on the connectors and to ensure longevity.
