Microconnect SSTP60025 networking cable Grey 0.25 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SSTP60025 RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable (0.25 m, grey) provides a short, reliable connection between network devices such as switches, modems and routers or between a device and structured cabling via a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Manufactured to Cat6 standard and tested up to 250 MHz, the cable supports up to 10,000 Mbit/s and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 installations. The cable is shielded (S/FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and features latch protection to prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding minimizes EMI and crosstalk, maintaining signal integrity for high-speed data transmission. Short 0.25 m length is suitable for tidy connections in rack-mounted or desk setups where excess cable would create clutter. Latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs helps avoid broken clips during routing through confined openings. Compliance with Cat6 specifications and backwards compatibility ensure interoperability with older network gear.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, switch or modem to nearby equipment
• Patch panel to device connections in racks or wall outlets
• Home and small office networking where short patch cables are required
• High-speed Ethernet links up to Cat6 performance

Key specifications

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (router, switch or modem) and the other into the target device or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel and close to power cables to minimize residual interference. For rack or patch-panel use, use the short length to keep cable runs neat and reduce airflow obstruction.

Recommendations

Use this short SSTP Cat6 cable for nearby device connections where shielding is required to protect against EMI. For longer runs use appropriately rated Cat6 or higher cables; inspect the RJ-45 latches before installation to ensure secure connections.
