Microconnect SFTP715Y networking cable Yellow 15 m Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SFTP715Y RJ-45 Cat7 15 m Yellow is a 15-metre shielded networking cable designed for reliable connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlets. Built to Cat7 standard and tested up to 600 MHz, the cable uses S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors, offering backwards compatibility with Cat6a, Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 installations. The cable's yellow jacket improves visibility in structured cabling runs and the integrated strain relief protects the connector during tight installations.

Advantages

The SFTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and minimizes crosstalk, which helps maintain data integrity and transmission speed. Tested to Cat7 frequency limits (up to 600 MHz) while using durable RJ-45 terminations, the cable combines high-frequency performance with wide device compatibility. The visible yellow colour and molded strain-relief make routing and installation easier in both home and small office networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office local area network (LAN) setups
• High-speed data and entertainment applications (streaming, gaming)
• Environments requiring reduced EMI and improved signal integrity

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the Microconnect Cat7 cable to a network device (switch, router or modem) and the other end to the target device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Follow standard cable routing practices: avoid sharp bends, keep the cable away from strong power sources where possible, and secure the cable with appropriate ties or clips to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable away from large electrical equipment and bundle it separately from power cables. Use the cable within its specified 15 m length and avoid excessive bending radii; the integrated strain relief helps protect the RJ-45 connector during installation in confined spaces.
