Ethernet cable MicroConnect S/FTP CAT6 SSTP650B 50m Blue LSZH PiMF

MicroConnect S/FTP CAT6 SSTP650B 50m Blue LSZH PiMF is a shielded Ethernet cable engineered for Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling. The cable combines overall braid shielding with foil around each twisted pair (S/FTP with Pairs in Metal Foil), providing improved protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. A low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) outer jacket reduces harmful emissions in enclosed environments, while the 50 m length and blue color make it suitable for visible runs and medium-length links in offices, data centers and server rooms.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction with foil around each pair and an overall screen improves signal integrity and reduces susceptibility to external noise sources compared with unshielded cables. The LSZH jacket limits toxic gas and smoke in case of fire, which is important for installations in public or confined spaces. The cable is designed to meet CAT6 electrical performance for Gigabit speeds and supports standard RJ45 terminations when fitted with compatible connectors. The 50 m spool provides a practical length for many horizontal and inter-rack connections.

Suitable for

• Office horizontal cabling and network drops
• Data center and server rack interconnects
• Structured cabling in environments with high electromagnetic noise
• Installations requiring LSZH materials (public buildings, confined spaces)

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6 (Gigabit Ethernet performance)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil around each pair, PiMF)
• Length: 50 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen)
• Color: Blue
• Conductor type: Twisted pairs (4 pairs)

How to use

Measure and cut the required length from the 50 m spool, taking care to avoid kinking or stretching the cable. Strip the outer LSZH jacket and prepare the individual pairs following standard CAT6 termination procedures. Maintain the manufacturer's recommended untwisting length when fitting RJ45 shielded connectors or keystone jacks and ensure the cable shield is properly grounded to the equipment chassis or patch panel to preserve shielding effectiveness. Avoid tight bends; observe the minimum bend radius specified by CAT6 standards when routing through cable trays or conduits.

Recommendations

Use this S/FTP CAT6 cable in environments where interference is likely or where LSZH materials are required. Always terminate with compatible shielded connectors and bond the shield to ground. For optimum performance, keep cable runs within standardized length limits for horizontal or patch connections and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines.
