Networking cable Microconnect SSTP603Y Yellow Cat6 3 m

The Microconnect SSTP603Y Yellow Cat6 3 m is a 3-metre S/FTP (S-STP) Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable wired network connections between devices such as switches, routers, modems, patch panels or wall outlets. Built to the Cat6 standard and tested up to 250 MHz, the cable supports high data rates (up to 10000 Mbit/s according to the product data) and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 installations. The bright yellow jacket makes the cable easy to identify in installations.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP construction provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduces crosstalk, which helps maintain signal integrity and lower error rates in high-speed networks. The cable meets Cat6 frequency requirements up to 250 MHz and remains compatible with older Ethernet standards. A molded latch protector reduces the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces, and the 3 m length offers flexibility for typical office and home setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Wired office and home network installations
• High-speed data links where interference protection is required
• Identifiable cabling runs in structured cabling systems (yellow color)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (switch, router or modem) and the other connector to the destination device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise. For installations through conduits or cable trays, use the molded latch protector to reduce the chance of damage during pulling.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 SSTP cable for short to medium runs (such as desktop-to-switch or patch panel connections) and avoid bundling it tightly with power cables. Verify connectors and channel components are rated for Cat6 to maintain the specified performance.
