Microconnect SSTP605O networking cable Orange 5 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

Microconnect SSTP605O S/FTP Cat6 networking cable, 5 m, orange. This Cat6 S/FTP cable provides a reliable wired connection between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It is designed for small office, home networks and entertainment systems, tested to the Cat6 standard (up to 250 MHz) and backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The cable features latch protection on the RJ45 connectors and an S/FTP shield that reduces electromagnetic interference to maintain data integrity and transmission speed, supporting data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding offers improved protection against EMI and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, helping to reduce errors and preserve throughput. Latch protection on the connector lowers the risk of physical damage during installation in tight spaces. The 5 m length and bright orange colour simplify routing and identification in crowded cable installations. Compatibility with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 devices ensures flexible use across existing networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, modems and patch panels
• Small office and home network cabling
• High-speed Ethernet links where interference reduction is required
• Entertainment systems and home media networks

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield + individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (depending on network equipment)
• Colour: Orange
• Connector protection: latch-protected RJ45

How to use

Connect one end of the Microconnect SSTP605O cable to the RJ45 port of a network device (switch, router, modem or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port on the destination device or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid placing it near strong sources of interference despite the shielding. For permanent installations, secure the cable with cable ties or clips to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For best performance, pair this S/FTP Cat6 cable with shielded network equipment or grounded patch panels in environments with significant electromagnetic interference. Test network links after installation to confirm expected throughput and correctness of wiring.
