Microconnect SSTP605P networking cable Purple 5 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect SSTP605P is a 5 m Purple networking cable meeting the Cat6 standard with S/FTP (SSTP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It supports high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The cable is designed for reliable connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets and is suitable for small office, home networks and entertainment applications.

Advantages

The SSTP605P cable incorporates shielded foil and braided shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity and lower error rates. It is tested to the Cat6 frequency of up to 250 MHz and includes latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs to prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces. The purple colour simplifies identification in multi-cable installations while maintaining full Cat6 performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Small office and home network cabling
• Wired entertainment systems and high-bandwidth devices
• Environments where EMI reduction is required

How to use

Route the MicroConnect SSTP605P between your network devices and infrastructure points, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted into the RJ-45 ports until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling forces during installation to preserve the shielding and internal wires. When terminating to patch panels or keystone jacks, follow the panel/jack manufacturer’s wiring scheme and use appropriate tools to prevent damage to the connector and cable.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs under recommended distances for Ethernet standards, separate shielded data cables from strong electrical sources where possible, and secure the cable using appropriate cable management to avoid stress on the connectors.
