Networking Cable Microconnect SSTP601 S/FTP Cat6 1m Grey

The MicroConnect SSTP601 S/FTP Cat6 1m Grey networking cable provides a reliable wired connection between network devices such as switches, modems, routers and infrastructure components like patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. This shielded Cat6 cable supports the Cat6 standard (tested up to 250 MHz), is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, and is manufactured with latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces. Its S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) to maintain signal integrity and stable data transmission.

Advantages

The SSTP601 combines S/FTP shielding and Cat6 performance to limit crosstalk and external EMI, helping to reduce transmission errors and preserve data speed. A 1 m length and grey jacket make it suitable for short runs and tidy installations, while latch protection protects the RJ45 connector during routing through confined channels. The cable supports high throughput — suitable for fast local networks — and remains backward compatible with older Ethernet standards.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC, switch, modem or router to a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet
• Short cable runs in small office and home network setups
• Streaming and entertainment devices that require stable wired connections
• Installations where EMI could affect signal quality

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end of the MicroConnect SSTP601 cable to your network device (PC, switch, router or modem) and the other end to the destination port such as a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of mechanical stress. For permanent installations, verify correct port assignment and test the link speed and connectivity after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use this S/FTP Cat6 cable for short, high-quality wired links where interference is a concern. Avoid excessive bending or pulling; maintain minimum bend radius as per standard Cat6 practice and test connections after installation to confirm full performance.
