Cabo de rede Microconnect KAB031-050 cinzento 50 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect KAB031-050 S/FTP Cat6a networking cable is a 50 m, non-terminated flexible data/patch cable designed for indoor installation. Conforming to the Cat6a standard, this grey cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is intended for applications that require high bandwidth and reduced crosstalk. The S/FTP shielding—overall screen with individually shielded pairs—provides protection against electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable offers enhanced performance compared with lower-category cabling due to its support for higher frequencies and sustained data throughput. The S/FTP construction reduces external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, which improves reliability in dense network installations. Being non-terminated and flexible, the cable can be custom-terminated on-site to suit specific connector types and lengths, and its grey jacket provides a neutral appearance for visible installations.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices, server rooms and data centres
• High-speed Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbps over appropriate channel lengths
• Patch panels and wallplate terminations where on-site termination is required
• Environments with multiple adjacent cables or electrical equipment where shielding is beneficial

How to use

For installation, route the cable through cable trays, conduits or along cable management paths to the termination points. Cut to the required length and terminate with compatible RJ45 shields or connectors that support Cat6a and S/FTP construction; ensure proper drain wire or foil handling and maintain shielding continuity when attaching connectors or patch panels. Observe bend radius recommendations during routing to avoid kinking and preserve performance. Test each completed link with appropriate network certification or continuity tools to verify signal integrity and data rate capability.

Recommendations

Maintain separation from high-voltage power lines where possible, avoid sharp bends and crushing, and use compatible shielded connectors and patch panels to retain S/FTP performance. For permanent links intended for 10 Gbps operation, follow industry guidelines for channel length and testing to ensure compliance with Cat6a parameters.
