Networking cable Microconnect SSTP615S S/FTP Cat6 15 m Black

The Microconnect SSTP615S is a 15 m S/FTP Cat6 networking cable designed for reliable wired connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers and the building infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It supports Cat6 testing up to 250 MHz and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards. The cable features an integrated boot to protect the connector during installations in confined spaces and an overall shield to reduce electromagnetic interference, helping maintain data integrity and transmission speed.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces EMI and crosstalk, improving signal quality in environments with electrical noise. Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz supports high data rates and compatibility with existing Cat5e/Cat5 installations. The protective boot prevents latch damage when pulling the cable through tight conduits, and the 15 m length provides flexibility for home and small office setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office wired networks
• AV and entertainment system connections requiring stable wired links
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 15 m
• Maximum supported data rate (manufacturer-stated): up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Black
• Typical use: Ethernet networking for home and office

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end of the Microconnect S/FTP Cat6 cable to your network device (switch, router or modem) and the other end to the destination device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks; the integrated boot protects the latch during installation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic fields when possible to preserve signal quality.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within its rated length and avoid excessive bending or crushing. In installations with significant EMI, prefer shielded terminations and ensure proper grounding of the shield at one or both ends according to local installation practices.
