Microconnect STP601SEXT networking cable Black 1 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect STP601SEXT RJ-45 Cat6 1 m Black is a shielded networking cable designed for short patch connections between switches, routers, modems and wall outlets. Built to Cat6 standard and tested up to 250 MHz, this 1 m cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 installations. F/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while the compact RJ-45 connectors with latch protection simplify installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable's F/UTP shielding provides protection against EMI, helping to maintain signal integrity and reduce transmission errors in environments with potential interference. Cat6 specification and 250 MHz testing ensure higher performance compared with lower category cables, and compatibility with Cat5e/Cat5 allows seamless integration into existing networks. The 1 m length and black finish deliver a discreet, practical patch lead for rack, desk or AV setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices such as switches, routers and modems
• Patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlet connections
• Small office and home network and entertainment setups
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil overall with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with latch protection
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.05 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the first device (switch, router or modem) and the other connector into the second device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and reduce stress near connectors; keep it clear of high-voltage power lines and strong sources of EMI for optimal signal quality.

Recommendations

For stable performance, use the Microconnect STP601SEXT for short patch connections up to 1 m in racks, desktop setups or AV installations. When running multiple cables, separate power and signal cables where possible and avoid tight bundling to minimize crosstalk. Verify device ports support the required speeds and, if necessary, test connections with network diagnostic tools after installation.
