Microconnect MC-SFTP803B networking cable Blue 3 m Cat8.1 S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect CAT8.1 Patch Cable (MC-SFTP803B) is a 3 m networking cable designed for demanding environments that require high data rates and wide bandwidth. It complies with the Cat8.1 standard, uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and has RJ45 connectors with 50µ" gold plating for reliable contact. The cable is blue, weighs approximately 0.29 kg, and includes meter markings on the boot and latch protection to reduce the risk of connector clip breakage.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external interference, supporting stable high-speed transmission up to 25 Gbps and bandwidths up to 2000 MHz. Gold-plated 50 µ" RJ45 contacts improve signal transfer and corrosion resistance. Meter markings on the boot make length identification quick, and the latch protection helps prevent accidental damage to the connector clip.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections supporting 25 Gbps applications
• Data centers and server racks requiring short, high-bandwidth patching
• Workstations and network equipment with RJ45 ports
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where S/FTP shielding is needed

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat8.1
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around twisted pairs + overall braid)
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbps (product supports high-speed transmission; product data lists up to 40000 Mbit/s theoretical rate)
• Bandwidth: up to 2000 MHz
• Connector plating: 50 µ" gold
• Colour: Blue
• Weight: 0.29 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (switch, router, NIC) and the other RJ45 connector to the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and high-tension points; use appropriate cable management in racks or workspaces. Verify link speed and duplex settings on connected devices to confirm the cable supports the required transmission parameters.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8.1 S/FTP cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections such as patching in data centers or direct server-to-switch links. Keep the cable within recommended bend radius and avoid running parallel to strong electrical sources to preserve signal integrity.
