Microconnect SSTP6015Y networking cable Yellow 1.5 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SSTP6015Y is a 1.5 m Cat6 networking cable with S/FTP (SSTP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for reliable wired connections between network devices such as switches, modems or routers and infrastructure components like patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets, the cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards. Its yellow jacket simplifies identification in crowded installations and the latch protection on the connectors reduces the risk of damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The SSTP shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduces crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity and lower error rates. Tested to the Cat6 standard up to 250 MHz, the cable provides higher performance than Cat5e while remaining compatible with older cabling. Latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs prevents connector breakage during routing through confined spaces, and the 1.5 m length is convenient for short runs between nearby devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels and wall outlets
• Small office and home network wiring
• Desktop or rack-mounted device connections where a 1.5 m cable is sufficient
• Environments where EMI shielding is required to reduce crosstalk

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)

• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Length: 1.5 m
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Yellow
• Weight: 0.042 kg
• Compatibility: Backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices (switch, router, modem or wall outlet/patch panel) until the latch clicks into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic fields. For best performance, ensure connectors are fully seated and network ports are configured according to your network requirements. When a tight installation space is involved, use the latch protection to avoid damaging the plug while feeding the cable through openings.

Recommendations

Use this Microconnect SSTP6015Y Cat6 cable for short, shielded connections where EMI may affect signal quality. Avoid prolonged exposure to mechanical stress or repeated heavy bending, and select longer or shorter lengths as needed to prevent tension on connectors.
