Microconnect SSTP6005O netwerkkabel oranje 0,5 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

MicroConnect S/FTP Cat6 networking cable, 0.5 m, orange. This Cat6 patch cable provides a reliable link between network devices such as switches, modems or routers and the wider infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable meets the Cat6 standard (tested up to 250 MHz), supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s, and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 installations. It features latch protection on the connectors to reduce the risk of damage during installation in confined spaces and has S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction offers enhanced protection against EMI (electromagnetic interference) and crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity and reduce transmission errors. Latch protection on the plugs prevents connector breakage when routing the cable through tight openings. The 0.5 m length makes the cable suitable for short connections inside racks, between devices on a desk or for neat patching in structured cabling systems. The orange colour improves visibility for identification and cable management.

Suitable for

• Short device-to-device connections (switch to router, switch to modem)
• Patching between wall outlets, keystone jacks and patch panels
• Small office and home network setups
• Environments requiring reduced EMI and crosstalk

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Orange
• Compatibility: Backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router or modem) and the other plug to the target device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain appropriate bend radius for Cat6 cables. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise and avoid tightly bundling with power cables.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this 0.5 m S/FTP Cat6 cable for short runs where shielded cabling is beneficial. Verify connector seating and avoid kinking the cable. In installations with high EMI, consider shielded keystone jacks and proper grounding for the shielding.
