Ethernet S/FTP CAT6 cable MicroConnect SSTP635 35 m grey LSZH PiMF

MicroConnect SSTP635 is an S/FTP CAT6 Ethernet cable with a 35 m grey jacket made from LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material and Pair-in-Metal-Foil (PiMF) shielding. The cable is designed for structured cabling and network installations where enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference is required. It supports Gigabit Ethernet data rates across typical horizontal cabling distances and is intended for use in offices, server rooms and residential networks where a combination of performance and safety-rated jacket material is needed.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction with Pair-in-Metal-Foil shielding ensures improved immunity to crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded alternatives. The CAT6 specification supports higher bandwidth and more stable Gigabit connections. The LSZH outer jacket reduces harmful smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations with stricter safety requirements. The 35 m length provides flexibility for mid-range runs without the need for splicing or extension points.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections in office and home networks
• Structured cabling runs between patch panels and wall outlets up to 35 m
• Installations in areas with elevated electromagnetic interference
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free materials

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6 (S/FTP)
• Shielding: Overall braid with Pair-in-Metal-Foil (PiMF) per pair
• Length: 35 meters
• Outer jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Color: Grey
• Intended data rate: Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over typical horizontal distances
• Conductor type: Twisted pairs, 4 pairs

How to use

Install the cable by routing it from the network switch or patch panel to the destination outlet or device, maintaining proper bend radius and avoiding tight kinks. Terminate both ends with compatible CAT6 RJ45 connectors or use pre-terminated patch panels and keystone jacks rated for shielded CAT6 cable. Ensure that the shielding is properly grounded at installation points to preserve the S/FTP performance. Test the completed run with appropriate network cable testers to verify continuity, pair integrity and performance parameters.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to power lines or heavy electrical equipment; if crossing is necessary, do so at right angles. Keep within the recommended maximum horizontal run lengths for Gigabit Ethernet and follow local codes for fire safety and grounding of shielded cables.
