Microconnect SSTP615 networking cable Grey 15 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SSTP615 S/FTP Cat6 networking cable is a 15 m grey cable designed for reliable wired connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers and infrastructure points like patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. Manufactured to Cat6 standard and tested up to 250 MHz, the cable supports high data rates and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 installations. The SSTP construction includes an overall shield and individually shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and preserve signal integrity.

Advantages

The S/FTP Cat6 design provides improved protection against EMI and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, which helps maintain stable transmission and lower error rates. Latch protection on the connectors prevents damage to the plug latch during installation in confined spaces. With a 15 m length and grey finish, the cable is suitable for home and small-office setups where a tidy, long-reach connection is required.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office wired networks
• High-speed internet and multimedia streaming setups
• Environments where reduced EMI is important (near electrical equipment)

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield + individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate (manufacturer summary): up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 15 m
• Colour: Grey
• Backward compatibility: Cat5e, Cat5

How to use

Route the SSTP615 cable between network devices or from devices to wall outlets or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks; the latch protection reduces the risk of damage during installation in tight spaces. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable separated from strong sources of interference where possible. Terminate or plug the cable directly into compatible RJ45 ports on switches, routers, modems or keystone jacks.

Recommendations

For optimal signal quality, use the Microconnect SSTP615 in installations requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and follow standard cabling practices: maintain bend radius, avoid excessive tension, and keep the cable run away from high-voltage power lines. Verify device port specifications to utilise the Cat6 performance and ensure proper grounding of shielded systems where applicable.
