Network cable Montis MT041-20 Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP) 20 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts, black

Montis MT041-20 Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP) 20 m is a shielded network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. The cable is built to deliver wired Ethernet performance up to 10 000 Mbit/s and to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk thanks to its S/FTP shielding. Its 20 metre length and durable black jacket make it suitable for longer runs in homes, offices, server rooms and structured cabling installations where a reliable, high-bandwidth connection is required.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP (S-STP) construction combines an overall braid shield with individually foil-shielded pairs, improving protection against external electromagnetic interference and reducing pair-to-pair crosstalk for stable data transmission. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs support consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance. With Cat7 performance and support for high data rates, the cable is appropriate for gigabit and multi-gigabit networks as well as 10 Gbps applications. The black outer sheath provides a neutral, professional appearance and added mechanical protection.

Suitable for

• LAN connections in homes and offices
• Server rooms and network racks
• Professional installations and structured cabling
• High-bandwidth applications such as NAS, streaming and large file transfers

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router, network card or patch panel) and the other RJ-45 end to the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise where possible; keep a gentle bend radius to preserve internal shielding and pair geometry. For best performance, use the cable within supported distances for the network speed and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines.

Usage recommendations

For optimal long-term performance, inspect connectors periodically for dust or damage and avoid excessive pulling on the cable. When terminating in racks or outlets, maintain proper bend radius and secure the cable to reduce strain; use the Cat7 cable for applications requiring enhanced shielding and high data throughput.
