Network cable MONTIS Cat6A S/FTP, 5 m, model MT116-5

MONTIS Cat6A S/FTP network cable, 5 m, model MT116-5 is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed local area networks. The cable features S/FTP construction — each twisted pair wrapped in foil with an overall braided shield — to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity for short runs. It is intended for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications between network devices such as switches, routers and patch panels in office or home environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP design provides improved protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic noise compared with unshielded cables, supporting more reliable data transmission in electrically noisy environments. Its Category 6A performance rating enables stable connections at frequencies up to 500 MHz and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over typical short patch lengths. A flexible jacket and standard 5-meter length allow easy routing and neat patching behind racks, desks and network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office networks
• High-speed home network connections and media streaming setups
• Short-run 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in server rooms or workstations
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid plus foil on each pair)
• Supported bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Design speed: suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs
• Length: 5 meters
• Connectors: standard RJ45 terminated (compatible with standard Ethernet ports)
• Conductor type: stranded copper for flexible patch cable use

How to use

Route the cable between the two network devices ensuring both RJ45 ends are fully inserted into the Ethernet ports until they click. Avoid tight bends and sharp crimps; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius when routing the cable through cable trays or behind equipment. When connecting shielded cables, ensure connected devices or patch panels provide proper grounding to make use of the cable’s shielding.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6A S/FTP cable for short patch runs up to 5 meters in environments with possible electromagnetic interference. Pair with compatible shielded connectors and grounded patch panels or equipment to fully benefit from the S/FTP shielding. Avoid routing next to high-voltage power lines and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors are damaged.
