Microconnect SSTP601P networking cable Purple 1 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SSTP601P is a 1 m Cat6 networking cable with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It provides a reliable wired connection between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable is tested to 250 MHz (Cat6 standard) and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. It features latch protection to prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces and comes in a distinctive purple colour.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and minimizes crosstalk, helping to maintain data integrity and consistent transmission rates. The Cat6 specification supports higher performance up to 250 MHz compared with earlier categories, while latch protection increases durability during installation. The 1 m length and standard RJ-45 connectors make the cable convenient for short connections in home and office environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Short runs between network devices in home or small office setups
• Audio/video and entertainment system links where reduced interference is required
• Environments requiring backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 equipment

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on the network devices you wish to connect (for example, from a router to a switch or from a patch panel to a wall outlet). Ensure the latch clicks into place to secure the connection and avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector. For shielded installations, verify that connected equipment and patch panels support grounding of the shield for optimal EMI protection.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect SSTP601P for short, high-performance links where electromagnetic interference is a concern. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and secure connections with appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.
