Networking cable Microconnect SSTP602Y S/FTP Cat6 2 m Yellow

The Microconnect SSTP602Y S/FTP Cat6 networking cable is a 2 m yellow patch cable designed to connect network devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It meets the Cat6 standard with testing up to 250 MHz and supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s. The cable features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and a latch protection on the connectors for safer installations in confined spaces.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against EMI and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, which helps maintain signal integrity and reduces transmission errors. Backwards compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 allows seamless integration into existing networks. The yellow jacket improves cable identification, and latch protection helps prevent connector damage during installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Small office and home network installations
• High-performance Ethernet connections where EMI reduction is needed
• Short patch runs in data cabinets and entertainment systems

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield + individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Yellow
• Connector feature: latch protection
• Weight: 0.09 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the network device (switch, router or modem) and the other to the patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it separated from sources of strong electromagnetic noise when possible. For in-cabinet or wall installations, use the latch protection to prevent damage during routing through tight spaces.

Usage recommendations

Use this S/FTP Cat6 cable for short to medium patch runs and locations where interference reduction is required; avoid excessive bending and strain to maintain optimal performance and lifespan.
