Microconnect MC-SFTP8010R networking cable Red 10 m Cat8.1 S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect CAT8.1 Patch Cable (MC-SFTP8010R) is a 10 m red networking cable designed for high-speed, low-latency connections. It conforms to the Cat8.1 standard, uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and has RJ-45 connectors with 50 µin gold plating for reliable contact. The cable supports data rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and bandwidth up to 2000 MHz, and includes meter markings on the boot and latch protection on the plug.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding improves signal integrity in environments with high interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide consistent connectivity and corrosion resistance. Meter markings on the boot allow quick identification of cable length, and the reinforced latch protects the clip from accidental breakage. The Cat8.1 specification enables very high throughput and low latency for modern networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring high throughput
• High-speed LAN backbones and switch-to-switch connections
• Professional workstations and high-performance computing setups
• Environments with significant electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat8.1
• Length: 10 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually foiled pairs)
• Data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Bandwidth: up to 2000 MHz

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router or network card) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; use cable management accessories where necessary. The meter markings on the boot help verify the installed length during deployment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8.1 S/FTP patch cable for short-run, high-speed links within racks or between adjacent racks (typically up to the channel and equipment limits). Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and physical stress; when installing in high-interference areas, maintain proper grounding of connected equipment.
