Microconnect MC-SFTP8010Y networking cable Yellow 10 m Cat8.1 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect MC-SFTP8010Y RJ-45 Cat8.1 10 m Yellow is a high-performance network patch cable designed for demanding data environments. Conforming to Cat8.1 standards with S/FTP shielding, the cable supports high data transfer rates and is optimized for low interference connections. It is fitted with gold-plated 50µ" RJ-45 connectors on both ends, includes latch protection to reduce clip breakage, and has meter markings on the boot to make length identification simple during installation.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 S/FTP cable offers high bandwidth and reduced electromagnetic interference thanks to its foil and braided shielding. Gold-plated 50µ" RJ-45 connectors improve signal contact and corrosion resistance, while the sturdy build and latch protection increase connector longevity. The 10 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-desk or equipment-to-equipment connections, and the bright yellow jacket makes cable routing and visual identification straightforward.

Suitable for

• High-bandwidth server and switch interconnects in data centers
• 25Gbps network segments and other high-speed Ethernet links
• Structured cabling installations requiring S/FTP shielding
• Patching between network racks, switches, and network appliances

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 end to the respective network ports on your devices, switches, or patch panels, ensuring the connector latch clicks into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; use appropriate cable management such as tie wraps or cable trays where necessary. When deploying in shielded installations, ensure proper earthing of patch panels and chassis to maintain shielding effectiveness. Use the meter markings on the boot to confirm cable length during setup.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force. Keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines where possible to reduce potential interference. Verify that connected equipment supports the required 25Gbps or higher link speeds and that chassis grounding is in place when using S/FTP cabling.
