Microconnect SFTP703R networking cable Red 3 m Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SFTP703R RJ-45 Cat7 3 m Red is a 3-metre S/FTP network cable designed for reliable, high-speed wired connections between network devices such as switches, routers, modems, patch panels and wall outlets. The cable meets Cat7 testing up to 600 MHz while using Cat6a-compatible RJ-45 connectors, ensuring backward compatibility with Cat6a, Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 installations. It features shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and a reinforced strain-relief (snaggle) on the connector to protect the plug during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The SFTP construction provides protection against EMI and crosstalk, improving signal integrity and reducing transmission errors. Tested to Cat7 standards (up to 600 MHz) and fitted with RJ-45 connectors that support Cat6a specifications, the cable combines high-frequency performance with broad compatibility. The 3 m length and bright red jacket make it easy to route and identify in home or office networks. A reinforced connector boot reduces the risk of connector damage when pulling the cable through confined areas.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office wired networks
• High-speed LAN links for gaming, streaming and file transfer
• Structured cabling where EMI protection is required

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the source device (for example a switch or router) and the other connector into the destination device or network outlet. For structured installations, connect to the patch panel or keystone jack as required. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; use cable clips or ties to secure the cable along its route without compressing the jacket. Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click to guarantee a proper mechanical and electrical connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for Ethernet standards (this 3 m cable is suitable for in-room and short rack-to-rack connections). When installing near heavy electrical equipment, maintain separation or use shielded pathways to complement the S/FTP shielding. Test links after installation with a network tester if precise certification is required.
