Microconnect SFTP7005 networking cable Grey 0.5 m Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)

Microconnect SFTP7005 RJ-45 Cat7 0.5 m Grey is a shielded network patch cable designed for reliable connections between network devices such as switches, routers, modems and infrastructure components like patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable supports Cat7 standards with testing up to 600 MHz and uses RJ-45 connectors compatible with Cat6a and earlier generations, enabling up to 10 000 Mbit/s data rates for high-speed home and small office networks.

Advantages

The SFTP7005 cable features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, which helps maintain signal integrity and lower error rates. Its construction includes strain-relief (snaggle) at the connector to protect the plug during tight installations. The use of RJ-45 Cat6a-compatible connectors ensures backwards compatibility with Cat6a, Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 systems while supporting the higher performance expected from Cat7-rated cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to network infrastructure
• Patch panel and keystone jack terminations
• Small office and home network setups
• High-speed internet and entertainment systems

• Compatibility: Backwards compatible with Cat6a, Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (switch, router or modem) and the other into the destination port such as a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the built-in strain-relief helps protect the connector during installation in confined spaces.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect SFTP7005 for short interconnects where EMI protection and high data throughput are required. Avoid running the cable in close parallel with high-voltage power lines for extended distances, and verify connector seating when used in dense patch panels.
