Microconnect MC-SFTP8005Y networking cable Yellow 0.5 m Cat8.1 S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect CAT8.1 Patch Cable (MC-SFTP8005Y) is a short, high-performance networking cable designed for demanding environments that require up to 25 Gbps data rates and bandwidth up to 2000 MHz. This 0.5 m S/FTP cable features gold-plated 50 µ" RJ45 connectors for reliable contact, a latch protection boot to reduce clip breakage, and meter marking on the boot for easy length identification. The yellow jacket makes the cable easy to spot in dense cabling setups.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 S/FTP cable offers high data throughput and improved shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference. The 50 µ" gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure stable connections and lower contact resistance. The integrated latch protection preserves the connector clip during handling, and the boot meter marking simplifies cable management and identification.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server racks requiring short patch links
• High-speed networking between switches and network appliances
• Environments needing 25 Gbps connectivity or high-frequency bandwidth
• Structured cabling where colour coding and short runs are preferred

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the appropriate network ports until the latch clicks to confirm a secure connection. Use the short 0.5 m patch cable for direct connections between switches, patch panels and servers to reduce cable clutter and signal loss. Check the meter marking on the boot to confirm cable length when planning or auditing cabling runs.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid sharp bends or excessive tension. Use colour-coded management to keep short Cat8.1 patch cables organised in racks and patch panels.
