Network Cable Montis MT116-20 S/FTP Cat6A 20m Black

The Montis MT116-20 S/FTP Cat6A 20m Black is a shielded network cable designed for high-speed data transmission over a 20 meter run. Constructed with S/FTP shielding and Cat6A performance, this cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to maintain stable connections between networking equipment. Its black outer jacket and robust build make it suitable for visible installations and routing through conduits in both residential and small office environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP (shielded foil over twisted pairs with an overall braid) design offers enhanced protection against external noise and internal pair-to-pair interference, which supports consistent throughput at higher frequencies. The Cat6A specification enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet over typical horizontal distances, while the 20 meter length provides flexibility for desk-to-switch and server-room-to-workstation runs. A durable outer sheath improves mechanical resistance and helps the cable maintain performance over prolonged use.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within offices and data closets
• High-definition video streaming and conferencing setups
• Connecting switches, routers, servers, and workstations
• Structured cabling runs where reduced interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (augmented performance for higher frequencies)
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall braid + individual pair foil)
• Length: 20 meters
• Color: black outer jacket
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbps over typical horizontal distances
• Impedance: standard 100 ohm design for Ethernet networks

How to use

Route the Montis MT116-20 cable between network devices, avoiding tight bends and sharp kinks to preserve shielding integrity and signal quality. Terminate or connect the cable using compatible RJ45 connectors or factory-fitted plugs, ensuring proper shield grounding when integrating into shielded patch panels or racks. Keep the cable separated from power lines where possible to further reduce the risk of electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain bend radii greater than four times the cable diameter, secure connections at both ends, and ensure shield continuity when connecting to grounded equipment. Use this S/FTP Cat6A cable in environments that benefit from reduced EMI and where 10 Gbps performance may be required.
