Microconnect SSTP615G networking cable Green 15 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SSTP615G S/FTP Cat6 networking cable is a 15 m green cable designed for reliable wired connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels and wall outlets. It meets Cat6 specifications with testing up to 250 MHz, supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The cable has robust shielding (S/FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and a latch protection on the RJ45 connector to prevent damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides combined foil and braided shielding to protect against EMI and crosstalk, preserving signal integrity and reducing transmission errors. Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz enables higher throughput compared with earlier categories, while backward compatibility ensures it works with existing Cat5e/Cat5 equipment. The built-in latch protection reduces the risk of connector damage during routing and installation. The 15 m length and distinctive green color make the cable easy to route and identify in medium-sized office or home setups.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between switches, routers, modems and patch panels
• Home and small office LAN and entertainment systems
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is required
• Upgrading existing Cat5e/Cat5 installations to Cat6 performance

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individual pair foil)
• Length: 15 m
• Max data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Green
• Connector protection: latch protection on RJ45
• Backward compatibility: Cat5e, Cat5

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end of the Microconnect SSTP615G cable to your network device (switch, router or modem) and the other end to the destination port, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force to prevent damage to the internal conductors and shielding. For installations in racks or conduits, secure the cable with appropriate ties without compressing the jacket.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this shielded Cat6 cable in environments with potential electromagnetic interference and pair it with grounded shielded connectors and patch panels. Maintain bend radius specifications and avoid tight coils to preserve data integrity and rated transmission speeds.
