Networking cable Microconnect SSTP6005Y S/FTP Cat6 0.5 m Yellow

The Microconnect SSTP6005Y S/FTP Cat6 networking cable (0.5 m) provides a reliable short-distance connection between devices such as switches, modems, routers or to infrastructure outlets like patch panels and keystone jacks. Built to Cat6 standard and tested to 250 MHz, the cable supports high data transfer rates (up to 10,000 Mbit/s) and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The cable includes an outer latch protection to reduce risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces and features S/FTP shielding to guard against electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can cause crosstalk and data errors.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding minimizes EMI and crosstalk for more stable data transmission. Short 0.5 m length is convenient for neat, localized connections and cable management. Cat6 performance (tested to 250 MHz) ensures compatibility with modern gigabit and multigigabit networks while remaining backward compatible with older standards. Latch protection reduces the chance of damaging the connector during installation in confined spaces. Bright yellow jacket improves visibility and makes cable identification straightforward.

Suitable for

• Connecting a switch, modem or router to a patch panel or keystone jack at short distances
• Small office and home network point-to-point links
• Connections behind racks, in patch cabinets or between adjacent devices
• Applications requiring reduced electromagnetic interference (shielded runs)

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield + individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s (depends on network equipment)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Yellow
• Compatibility: Backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5
• Connector protection: latch protection to prevent clip damage during installation

How to use

Plug one end of the Microconnect SSTP6005Y cable into the Ethernet port of the source device (for example a modem or switch) and the other end into the destination device or a wall/patch panel port. Ensure the latch clicks into place and route the cable to avoid sharp bends or crushing. For optimal performance, keep shielded cable runs separate from strong sources of electrical noise and follow standard cabling practices regarding bend radius and strain relief.

Usage recommendations

Use this short S/FTP Cat6 cable for tidy, short point-to-point connections where reduced EMI is important. Verify that connected equipment supports the desired network speeds and ensure proper grounding of shielded infrastructure where applicable.
