Network Cable Sharkoon Patch SFTP RJ-45 Cat.7a 5m Green

The Sharkoon Patch SFTP RJ-45 Cat.7a 5m Green network cable delivers a shielded wired connection designed for stable, high-speed data transfer. Built to the Cat.7a standard with SFTP (shielded foil twisted pair) construction and RJ-45 connectors, this 5-metre cable supports up to 10 Gbps throughput and is suitable for modern home and office networks. The green jacket provides easy identification in dense cabling environments while maintaining the flexibility needed for routing and installation.

Advantages

SFTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity over longer runs and in environments with multiple electronic devices. Cat.7a specification ensures compatibility with gigabit and multi-gigabit network equipment, while RJ-45 terminations offer universal compatibility with switches, routers, network cards and patch panels. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability, and the durable outer sheath resists abrasion and bending during installation.

Suitable for

• Wired gaming setups requiring low latency and stable throughput
• High-definition video streaming and media servers
• Office networks, VoIP phones and business workstations
• Home networking where clear cable identification is preferred
• Professional patch panels and rack-mounted equipment connections

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.7a
• Shielding: SFTP (Shielded Foil Twisted Pair)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Length: 5 m
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Cable color: green
• Outer sheath: flexible, abrasion-resistant jacket

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network device (router, switch, modem or network card) and the other end to the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the clip locks into place to establish a reliable physical connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible. For rack installations, secure excess length with cable ties or cable management panels to maintain tidy signal paths.

Usage recommendations

Use the Sharkoon Cat.7a SFTP cable for connections where improved shielding and higher-than-gigabit throughput are required; avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to high-voltage power lines to minimize residual interference. For optimal performance, pair with network equipment rated for multi-gigabit speeds and ensure connectors and ports are in good condition.
