Microconnect SSTP6005R networking cable Red 0.5 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SSTP6005R Red Cat6 0.5 m is a shielded Cat6 networking cable designed for short patch connections between switches, routers, modems and wall outlets or patch panels. With a 0.5 m length and S/FTP (SSTP) shielding, the cable supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz and data rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s while offering latch protection to reduce connector damage during tight installations.

Advantages

The SSTP6005R combines Cat6 performance with S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, improving signal integrity and reducing transmission errors. Backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, the cable is suitable for mixed installations. Its red colour and compact 0.5 m length make it easy to identify and manage in dense cabling environments, and the latch protection helps prevent connector damage during installation in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network devices (switch to switch, router to switch)
• Connections from devices to patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets
• Home and small office networks and entertainment equipment

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (SSTP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Rated data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Red
• Weight: 0.04 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to a network device (switch, router, modem) and the other to a patch panel, keystone jack or another device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Use the cable for short run patching inside racks, between adjacent devices or from devices to nearby wall outlets. Verify network link and speed settings on connected equipment after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tightly bending the cable near the connectors and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise. Use shielded patch panels and properly grounded network equipment when deploying S/FTP cables to ensure shielding effectiveness.
