Microconnect SSTP60025R networking cable Red 0.25 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SSTP60025R RJ-45 Cat6 0.25m Red is a shielded short patch cable designed to connect network devices such as switches, modems, and routers to each other or to structured cabling (patch panels, keystone jacks, wall outlets). Compliant with Cat6 standards and tested up to 250 MHz, this 0.25 m cable supports high data rates and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 installations. The cable includes latch protection on the connectors and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against EMI, which helps maintain signal integrity and reduces data errors. Short length and flexible construction make it suitable for patching in dense rack or desktop environments, while latch protection on the RJ-45 connectors prevents damage during tight installations. The cable supports high data transfer rates (up to 10000 Mbit/s as per product summary) and meets Cat6 performance tested to 250 MHz.

Suitable for

• Patching between network devices in server racks or switch panels
• Connecting routers, modems or switches to wall outlets and patch panels
• Short-range connections in small offices, home networks and AV setups

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices or patch panel until the latch clicks. Use the 0.25 m cable for short cable runs where a compact connection is required, such as between adjacent ports on a switch or between a desktop device and nearby wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends at the connector entry to preserve shielding and cable integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this shielded Cat6 cable in environments with potential electromagnetic interference (near power supplies, industrial equipment or dense cable bundles). Keep cable runs short when using this 0.25 m length and avoid excessive bending or mechanical stress to maintain signal quality.
