Microconnect SFTP703Y networking cable Yellow 3 m Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SFTP703Y RJ-45 Cat7 3m Yellow is a 3‑meter S/FTP network cable that follows the Cat7 standard and provides a shielded connection between network devices such as switches, modems or routers, and infrastructure components like patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable uses RJ‑45 connectors and comes in a distinctive yellow colour for easy identification in wiring installations. It is suitable for small office and home networks as well as entertainment applications, and is tested up to 600 MHz while using Cat6a‑compatible connectors for backwards compatibility with Cat6a, Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5.

Advantages

The SFTP703Y offers S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and minimise crosstalk, helping to maintain data integrity and stable transmission rates. Its Cat7 specification supports testing up to 600 MHz for higher frequency performance, while the use of Cat6a‑compatible RJ‑45 connectors ensures interoperability with existing equipment. The bright yellow jacket makes the cable easy to trace in crowded installations, and an integrated strain‑relief (snagless) connector reduces the risk of connector damage during tight installs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, modems and patch panels in small office or home networks
• Wiring for entertainment systems, media players and set‑top boxes
• Installations requiring shielded cabling to reduce EMI and crosstalk

• Weight: 0.03 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 end to a network device (for example a switch, modem or router) and the other end to another device or to a network outlet such as a patch panel or keystone jack. Ensure both devices are powered off or ports are configured according to your network setup before inserting connectors. Route the cable through existing cable management channels or wall outlets, taking care not to bend the cable sharply or exceed recommended bend radii to preserve performance. Use the yellow jacket to identify and trace the cable in your installation.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the S/FTP cable in parallel with high‑voltage power lines and maintain proper bend radius. Use shielded ports or grounded patch panels when available to take full advantage of the S/FTP shielding.
