Microconnect SSTP620Y networking cable Yellow 20 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The MicroConnect SSTP620Y is a 20 m Cat6 networking cable designed for reliable wired connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers or to building infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and meets Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a bright yellow jacket for easy identification.

Advantages

The SSTP620Y uses S/FTP (shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) construction to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduce crosstalk, which helps maintain signal integrity and lower error rates. The cable is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 devices. Connectors include latch protection to reduce the risk of damage during tight installations.

Suitable for

• Wired LAN connections in small offices and home networks
• Connecting network devices to patch panels, keystone jacks, or wall outlets
• Audio/video and entertainment systems requiring stable data transmission
• Environments where visible cable identification is useful (yellow jacket)

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with foiled pairs)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Max data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Yellow
• Weight: 0.63 kg
• Backward compatibility: Cat5e / Cat5

How to use

Route the cable between devices or from device to infrastructure outlet and insert the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports until the latch clicks. When installing through confined spaces or cable management channels, guide the cable carefully to avoid sharp bends that could damage the internal pairs or shielding. Ensure both ends are fully seated and test the link with a network tester or by verifying network connectivity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the SSTP620Y parallel to power lines for long distances and maintain bend radii greater than four times the cable diameter. Use appropriate grounding where required for shielded cables and verify connector terminations when integrating with patch panels or keystone jacks.
