Microconnect MC-SFTP8010B networking cable Blue 10 m Cat8.1 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect MC-SFTP8010B RJ-45 Cat8.1 10 m Blue is a high-performance network patch cable designed for demanding wired installations. Conforming to the Cat8.1 standard, this 10 metre cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference and gold-plated 50 μ" RJ-45 connectors to maintain reliable contact. It supports multi-gigabit data throughput with a stated transfer capability of up to 40000 Mbit/s and is intended for environments that require up to 25 Gbps speeds and bandwidths up to 2000 MHz. The cable comes in blue with moulded boots that include meter markings and a reinforced latch protection to reduce the risk of clip breakage.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combined with individually screened pairs provides improved immunity to crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded cables. The Cat8.1 specification and construction enable very high data rates suitable for modern server rooms, switches and high-performance endpoints. Gold-plated 50 μ" RJ-45 contacts enhance conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the reinforced boot with latch protection and visible length markings simplifies handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Server racks and data centre horizontal cabling
• High-speed workstations and professional networking equipment
• Patch panels and switch-to-switch connections requiring 25 Gbps
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where shielding is needed

How to use

Select the Microconnect Cat8.1 cable to link compatible network devices such as switches, routers, servers or high-speed workstations. Ensure both ends are fully inserted into the RJ-45 jacks until the latch clicks, and route the cable to avoid sharp bends or tight cable ties that can stress the internal pairs and shielding. For best performance keep cable runs within recommended lengths for the intended application and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines where possible.

Recommendations

Use this cable in shielded or mixed environments where the S/FTP construction and Cat8.1 performance deliver the required throughput. For permanent or long horizontal runs confirm connector and port compatibility with 25Gbps equipment, and inspect the moulded boots periodically for wear to maintain reliable connections.
