Microconnect SSTP630 networking cable Grey 30 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SSTP630 S/FTP Cat6 networking cable is a 30 m grey cable designed to connect network devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to building infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It conforms to Cat6 standards, is tested up to 250 MHz and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The cable features full shielding (S/FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and a latch protection on the connector to prevent damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

Shielding (S/FTP) protects against EMI and reduces crosstalk, improving signal integrity and reducing transmission errors. The Cat6 specification and 250 MHz testing support higher data rates and more reliable performance than previous categories. Latch protection prevents connector damage during installation, and the 30 m length provides flexibility for home and small office cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Wired home networks and entertainment systems
• Small office local area networks (LAN)
• Connections between switches, routers, modems and patch panels
• Installations requiring shielded cable to reduce EMI

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall screen with individually screened pairs)
• Length: 30 m
• Colour: Grey
• Maximum data rate (manufacturer data): up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Compatibility: backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5
• Connector feature: latch protection

How to use

Route the cable between network devices or from a device to a wall outlet or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted into RJ45 ports until the latch clicks; the latch protection reduces the risk of damage during tight installations. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable separated from strong electrical sources to minimize interference despite the shielding. Terminate into keystone jacks or patch panels that support Cat6 specifications when required.

Recommendations

Use this S/FTP Cat6 cable for installations where EMI is a concern or where higher data integrity is required. For permanent installations, test the installed link to verify performance up to Cat6 parameters and ensure connectors and panels are compatible with Cat6 standards.
