Microconnect SSTP601W networking cable White 1 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SSTP601W White Cat6 1m S/FTP is a shielded Cat6 patch cable designed for reliable connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels or wall outlets. This 1 m cable supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz, is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, and is rated for data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. The white jacket provides a clean appearance suitable for home and office environments.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity and lower error rates. The cable includes latch protection on the RJ45 connectors to prevent damage when routing through tight spaces. Cat6 testing to 250 MHz ensures higher bandwidth capacity compared with earlier cable categories while maintaining compatibility with existing Cat5e/Cat5 installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels or wall jacks
• Small office and home network installations
• Gaming, streaming and high-speed data transfer between devices

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil for individual pairs)
• Length: 1 m
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: White
• Connector protection: latch protection on RJ45

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into your network device (switch, router or modem) and the other into a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place using the latch protection and avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable to preserve shielding and signal performance. For short runs like 1 m, place the cable along stable surfaces or cable management clips to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect SSTP601W in environments where reduced EMI is important, for example near power supplies or other electronic equipment. Avoid running the cable in direct parallel with high-voltage power lines for long distances to maintain optimal performance.
