Microconnect SFTP720W Netwerkkabel wit 20 m Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SFTP720W RJ-45 Cat7 20 m White is a shielded network patch cable designed for reliable high-speed connections in home and small office networks. Built to the Cat7 standard with S/FTP (screened foil over individually shielded pairs) construction, this 20-metre cable supports high-frequency transmission and reduces electromagnetic interference. The cable uses RJ-45 connectors for broad compatibility with switches, modems, routers, patch panels and keystone jacks. Its white jacket provides a discreet appearance for visible installations.

Advantages

SFTP construction provides improved protection against EMI and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, helping maintain signal integrity over longer runs. The Cat7 specification allows testing up to 600 MHz while remaining backwards compatible with Cat6a, Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 equipment. RJ-45 termination ensures easy plug-and-play connectivity with common network devices. A protective strain-relief boot reduces the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between router, modem and network switch
• Connecting PCs, network-attached storage and media players
• Patch panel and keystone jack installations in small office or home setups
• Home entertainment systems and streaming devices requiring stable bandwidth

Key specifications

• Category: Cat7
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall screen with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 20 m
• Test frequency: up to 600 MHz (Cat7 testing standard)
• Colour: White
• Typical applications: patching, device-to-device cabling, linking to infrastructure

How to use

Plan the cable route ensuring it avoids sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network device (router, switch, modem, PC or media device) and the other into the corresponding port or patch panel. Ensure the connector clicks into place and the strain-relief boot is not bent excessively. For wall plates or keystone jacks, feed the cable through the installation opening and terminate using the appropriate jack or panel following standard wiring conventions. Test the link after installation to confirm connectivity and expected speeds.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect SFTP720W for runs up to 20 metres where improved shielding and higher frequency capability are required. Keep the cable away from mains power cables and large electrical equipment to minimize potential interference. Although Cat7 is tested to higher frequencies, ensure connected devices and patching hardware support the desired network speeds. For permanent installations, verify routing and strain relief to avoid stress on connectors.
