MicroConnect 3 Ft Cat7 S/FTP

MicroConnect 3 Ft Cat7 S/FTP Network Cable

The MicroConnect 3 Ft Cat7 S/FTP is a high‑performance networking cable designed for demanding data environments. With its Cat 7 classification, the cable supports speeds up to 10 Gbps over distances of up to 100 meters, making it ideal for modern office networks, data centers, and high‑bandwidth applications.

Key Technical Specifications

• Length: 3 feet (approximately 0.91 m)
• Cable Category: Cat 7
• Shielding Type: S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) – each twisted pair is individually foiled and the entire cable is wrapped in a conductive shield.
• Connector Type: RJ‑45 (M)
• Maximum Data Rate: 10 Gbps
• Operating Frequency: Up to 600 MHz
• Compliance: CE certified, meets industry standards for electromagnetic compatibility.
• Color Coding: Orange (provides easy visual identification in cable management systems).

Design Features and Construction

The cable’s construction incorporates a dual‑layer shielding strategy. The inner foil shields each twisted pair, reducing crosstalk and external interference, while the outer conductive shield protects against electromagnetic radiation from surrounding cables or equipment. This robust shielding architecture ensures stable signal integrity even in environments with high electrical noise.

All connectors are precision‑molded RJ‑45 plugs that provide a secure, reliable connection. The connectors feature gold‑plated contacts to minimize corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over time.

Ideal Applications

• Enterprise LANs: Connect servers, switches, and workstations in high‑density office spaces.
• Data Centers: Provide backbone links between racks or within a single rack for low‑latency communication.
• High‑Definition Video Streaming: Deliver uncompressed video streams without buffering.
• Industrial Automation: Reliable connectivity in environments with significant electromagnetic interference.

Installation and Compatibility

The MicroConnect 3 Ft Cat7 S/FTP cable is fully compatible with any standard RJ‑45 network equipment that supports Cat 6a or higher. Its short length makes it perfect for patching between a wall jack and a device, reducing cable clutter while maintaining high performance.

Installation guidelines:

1. Strip the cable ends carefully to expose the inner conductors without damaging the foil shields.
2. Insert the RJ‑45 connectors using a crimping tool designed for Cat 7 cables, ensuring each pair is correctly aligned.
3. Test the cable with a certified network tester to confirm continuity and signal integrity.

Environmental Considerations

The cable is manufactured without halogenated compounds, reducing fire risk in case of accidental ignition. Its robust shielding also protects against temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for both indoor and controlled outdoor installations.

Summary

The MicroConnect 3 Ft Cat7 S/FTP delivers exceptional performance in a compact form factor. With its advanced shielding, high data rate capability, and reliable connectors, it is the preferred choice for professionals who demand uncompromised network speed and stability.
