Microconnect MC-SFTP8010 networking cable Grey 10 m Cat8.1 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect MC-SFTP8010 RJ-45 Cat8.1 10 m Grey is a high-performance network patch cable designed for modern wired infrastructures. Built to Cat8.1 standard with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated 50 µ" RJ-45 connectors, the cable supports very high data rates and reduced electromagnetic interference. The cable length is 10 m and the grey jacket includes meter markings on the boot for quick identification.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding (overall foil with individually shielded pairs) reduces crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity in dense or electrically noisy environments. The Cat8.1 specification enables bandwidths up to 2000 MHz and supports multi-gigabit throughput up to 40,000 Mbit/s for demanding applications. Gold-plated 50 µ" RJ-45 connectors provide reliable contact corrosion resistance, and an integrated latch protection prevents the clip from breaking during frequent handling.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring high-speed copper links
• High-performance workstations and network switches supporting 25 Gbps
• Structured cabling installations with high bandwidth demands
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are necessary

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated 50 µ" contacts
• Length: 10 m
• Nominal bandwidth: up to 2000 MHz
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 40,000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Grey
• Weight: approximately 0.99 kg
• Boot: meter marking for length identification and latch protection

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router or network interface) and the other connector to the corresponding port on the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise where possible. Use the meter markings on the boot to verify installed length and to aid cable management during installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use Cat8.1-rated patch panels and shielded network hardware, maintain proper grounding of shielded components, and avoid excessive bending radii. Verify device compatibility for 25 Gbps operation; when used with standard Gigabit equipment, the cable will also function but higher speeds depend on connected hardware.
