Microconnect STP6005Y networking cable Yellow 0.5 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The MicroConnect STP6005Y is a 0.5 m Cat6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and F/UTP shielding. It supports Cat6 testing up to 250 MHz and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The yellow jacket improves visibility for installation in crowded patch panels or office and home network setups, while latch protection reduces risk of connector damage in tight spaces.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, improving signal integrity and reducing errors. Cat6 specification ensures support for high data rates (up to 10000 Mbit/s as applicable to modern Ethernet standards over appropriate distances). The short 0.5 m length is convenient for patching between nearby devices or within racks, and the molded latch protector helps prevent connector breakage during installation.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch, router or modem and local infrastructure (patch panels, keystone jacks)
• Short connections in small office or home network environments
• Visible color-coded cabling in server racks and multimedia setups

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6 (F/UTP shielded)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Test frequency: up to 250 MHz (Cat6 standard)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (dependent on network equipment and distance)
• Colour: Yellow
• Weight: 0.016 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the MicroConnect STP6005Y to your network device (switch, router or modem) and the other end to the destination port (patch panel, keystone jack or another device). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks; the molded latch protector helps during insertion in tight spaces. Use the 0.5 m length for short patching runs where minimal slack is needed.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep shielded cable grounding consistent with your network infrastructure (terminate shields at patch panels or devices as required). Avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile force. Use this short, shielded cable for close-proximity connections to reduce crosstalk and EMI in crowded rack or office environments.
