Microconnect MC-SFTP80025 networking cable Grey 0.25 m Cat8.1 S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect CAT8.1 Patch Cable (MC-SFTP80025) is a short, high-performance networking cable designed for environments requiring very high data rates and wide bandwidth. This 0.25 m grey S/FTP cable supports up to 40,000 Mbit/s and is suitable for applications demanding speeds up to 25 Gbps with bandwidth up to 2000 MHz. It is fitted with gold-plated 50 µ" RJ45 connectors, a reinforced latch for clip protection and meter markings on the boot for quick length identification.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in congested installations. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. The reinforced latch reduces the risk of connector damage during repeated insertion and removal, while the meter marking on the boot makes cable management and identification easier.

Suitable for

• Short-distance high-speed links (data centers, switch-to-switch connections)
• 25 Gbps Ethernet applications
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference
• Patch panels and rack-mounted equipment

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device and the other end to the corresponding port on the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure the reinforced latch fully engages to secure the connection. Use the meter marking on the boot to verify the cable length when planning or organising patch runs. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from strong sources of interference where possible.

Recommendations

For reliable 25 Gbps links, use short, direct connections between compatible devices and verify that connected equipment supports Cat8.1 or the required data rates. Avoid excessive bending, and replace cables showing visible damage to maintain signal integrity.
