Microconnect SSTP610R networking cable Red 10 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect SSTP610R Red Cat6 10 m S/FTP networking cable provides a shielded Cat6 connection for linking switches, modems, routers or patch panels to wall outlets and other network infrastructure. Tested to the Cat6 standard at up to 250 MHz and supporting data rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s, the cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. Its S/FTP (S‑STP) construction includes overall shielding plus individually shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). The product comes in a 10 m length and is finished in red for easy identification.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design lowers crosstalk and EMI, improving signal integrity and reducing transmission errors in environments with electrical noise. The Cat6 rating supports higher bandwidths and faster data transfer compared with Cat5e, while backward compatibility ensures interoperability with older installations. Latch protection on the RJ45 connectors prevents clip damage during installation in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Home and small office wired networks
• Connecting switches, routers, modems and patch panels
• High-speed LAN applications and media streaming
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Length: 10 m
• Colour: Red
• Compatibility: Backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5

How to use

Route the MicroConnect SSTP610R cable between devices or between a device and the infrastructure, terminating with RJ45 connectors into switches, routers, modems, keystone jacks or patch panels. Ensure the cable is not excessively bent or pinched and that the connector latch engages fully to secure the connection. For best results, keep the cable separated from large AC power cables and avoid tight bundles that can increase crosstalk.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this shielded Cat6 cable in installations where electromagnetic interference is present or where higher bandwidth and low error rates are required. Verify proper grounding of shielded connectors and compatible shielded components in the installation to ensure the shielding is effective.
