Microconnect SFTP7005W networking cable White 0.5 m Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SFTP7005W RJ-45 Cat7 0.5 m White is a short, shielded network patch cable designed for fast, reliable connections between network devices such as switches, routers, modems or to wall outlets and patch panels. The cable supports high data rates (up to 10000 Mbit/s) and is built to Cat7 specifications with S/FTP shielding while using Cat6a-compatible RJ-45 connectors, making it backwards compatible with Cat6a, Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 installations.

Advantages

This SFTP Cat7 cable provides shielding that reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity and lower error rates. Its short 0.5 m length is suitable for tidy connections in racks or desktop setups. The cable uses RJ-45 connectors compatible with Cat6a standards and includes a reinforced strain relief (snaggle) to protect the connector during installation in constrained spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch to patch panel or router to modem in small office or home networks
• Short-distance connections in network racks or desktop setups
• High-speed applications requiring reduced interference (VoIP, streaming, data transfer)

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m
• Standard: Cat7 (tested up to 600 MHz); connectors compatible with Cat6a (up to 500 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield + individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: White
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Plug an RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router, modem) and the other end into the destination port, patch panel or wall socket. For best performance ensure connectors are fully inserted and locked. Use the 0.5 m length for short links where minimal slack is required; avoid sharp bends or crushing of the cable to preserve shielding and signal quality.

Recommendations

For optimal results use this Microconnect SFTP7005W Cat7 cable for short, high-speed links in crowded racks or desktop environments where EMI may be present. Avoid running the cable parallel to large power cables for extended lengths and do not exceed the connector’s rated insertion force or bend radius.
