Microconnect SFTP6A50 networking cable Grey 50 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect SFTP6A50 is a 50 m Cat6a networking cable with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It supports the Cat6a standard and is designed for reliable connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable is backwards compatible with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 and is tested to the Cat6a frequency specifications.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduces crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity and minimize transmission errors. The cable supports high data rates and is suitable for small office, home network and entertainment installations. Latch protection on the RJ-45 connectors reduces the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems
• Patch panel and keystone jack installations
• Home and small office networks
• High-speed data and entertainment applications

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinks and run it between the required network points. Terminate the ends into RJ-45 ports on switches, routers, modems, patch panels or wall outlets. Ensure the latch on the connector fully engages to secure the connection. When routing the cable through conduits or tight spaces, use the latch protection to prevent accidental damage to the connector.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force during installation, maintain separation from strong electrical sources to further reduce interference, and use Cat6a-compliant hardware to achieve the specified speeds.
