Microconnect SSTP603S networking cable Black 3 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SSTP603S S/FTP Cat6 networking cable is a 3 m black patch cable designed for reliable wired connections between network devices such as switches, routers, modems or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It complies with Cat6 standard and is tested up to 250 MHz, offering backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 and supporting data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s when used in appropriate network setups.

Advantages

This S/FTP Cat6 cable features individual pair foil shielding and an overall braid (S/FTP), which reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and minimises crosstalk for more stable data transmission. The cable includes a snagless boot that protects the RJ45 connector clip during installation in tight spaces. Its 3 m length and black colour make it suitable for desk-to-rack or equipment-to-wall outlet connections while keeping installations neat.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Small office and home network installations
• Wired connections for entertainment devices (smart TVs, media players, game consoles)
• Environments where EMI reduction is required (near electrical equipment)

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/FTP Cat6
• Length: 3 m
• Test frequency: up to 250 MHz (Cat6 standard)
• Data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (depending on network equipment)
• Colour: Black
• Connector protection: snagless boot
• Backward compatibility: Cat5e, Cat5

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router or modem) and the other into the destination port such as a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place and avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable to maintain signal integrity. For installations in racks or conduits, feed the cable carefully using the snagless boot to protect the connector clip.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the Microconnect SSTP603S within its 3 m length for short-distance connections and pair it with compatible Cat6-rated network equipment. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines to further reduce potential interference.
