Network Cable Sharkoon Patch SFTP RJ-45 Cat.7a 50cm Black

The Sharkoon Patch SFTP RJ-45 Cat.7a 50cm Black is a short patch cable engineered for high-speed wired network connections. Built to the Cat.7a standard with SFTP shielding and durable RJ-45 connectors, this 50 cm cable is intended for reliable data transmission in environments that require low interference and secure signal integrity. Its compact length and flexible jacket make it suitable for neat cable routing behind equipment, in patch panels, or between devices in confined spaces.

Advantages

The SFTP construction combines foil and braided shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable high-frequency signals. Cat.7a specification enables higher bandwidths compared to lower categories, while the robust RJ-45 plugs ensure solid contact and reduced connection failures. The 50 cm length minimizes excess cable clutter and improves airflow in tight setups, and the black outer jacket delivers a discreet appearance compatible with most equipment racks and home setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches, routers and patch panels within racks or cabinets
• Linking gaming PCs, consoles or streaming devices to a wired network for low-latency performance
• Short links between desktop devices, NAS units, and modems in home or office environments

Key specifications

• Cable type: SFTP (shielded with foil and braid)
• Connector: RJ-45 on both ends
• Category: Cat.7a
• Length: 50 cm
• Color: Black
• Jacket: Flexible outer sheath for easy routing

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the cable for point-to-point links where a short, shielded connection is required; avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors to maintain shielding performance. For rack or cabinet installations, route the cable along cable management channels or tie points to keep connections organized and prevent strain on the plugs.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair this Cat.7a SFTP cable with shielded network equipment and avoid running it parallel to unshielded power cabling. When used for gaming or streaming, keep the cable length short to reduce latency and potential signal degradation.
