Networking cable Microconnect SSTP6005B S/FTP Cat6 0.5 m Blue

The Microconnect SSTP6005B S/FTP Cat6 networking cable is a 0.5 m blue patch lead designed for reliable connections between network devices such as switches, modems and routers, or for linking devices to structured cabling via a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. It meets the Cat6 standard with testing up to 250 MHz and supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. The cable features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and a latch protection on the connector to prevent damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides both overall shielding and individually shielded pairs, reducing EMI and crosstalk for more stable data transmission. Backwards compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 allows use with existing infrastructure. The short 0.5 m length is suitable for tidy connections between nearby devices, and the latch protection helps avoid connector breakage during installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router to a switch or modem in home and small office networks
• Short patch connections between patch panels and network devices
• Connecting networked entertainment devices where a short fixed lead is needed

How to use

Plug one end of the Microconnect SSTP6005B cable into the Ethernet port of your device (router, switch, modem or networked device) and the other end into the corresponding port on the target device or patch panel. Ensure the latch clicks into place to secure the connection. Use the 0.5 m length for short, direct connections to minimise cable clutter and maintain tidy racks or desktop setups.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable and keep it away from strong sources of electrical interference. Use this S/FTP Cat6 cable when a short, shielded connection is required to reduce EMI and crosstalk; verify that connected equipment supports Cat6 speeds and that patch panels or jacks are rated accordingly.
