MicroConnect SSTP635 Cat6 S/FTP Networking Cable 35 m Grey LSZH PiMF

The MicroConnect SSTP635 is a high-performance 35-meter Cat6 S/FTP shielded networking cable designed to deliver reliable and fast Ethernet connections over extended distances. Featuring copper conductors in a 28 AWG specification, individual pair shielding in metal foil, and an overall shield, it provides stable signal transmission by effectively minimizing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The halogen-free low smoke zero halogen grey jacket offers enhanced fire safety, making it suitable for environments with strict building regulations. Equipped with standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends without bulky snagless boots, it facilitates effortless installation in high-density patch panels and confined spaces.

Advantages

The cable utilizes a sophisticated S/FTP construction with PiMF technology, which individually wraps each wire pair in metal foil alongside an overall shield to guarantee exceptional signal integrity and protection against external electrical noise. The copper interior conductors ensure efficient and consistent data transfer speeds required for modern networking tasks. Additionally, the low smoke zero halogen outer jacket enhances safety by preventing the release of toxic halogenated gases and limiting smoke emission in the event of a fire, fulfilling critical safety standards in commercial and residential buildings. The generous 35-meter length allows for flexible routing between distant network hardware without signal degradation.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and patch panels over longer distances in server rooms
• Setting up high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connections in office buildings and educational facilities
• Wiring environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are necessary
• Structured cabling setups featuring dense patch panels and tight spaces due to the bootless connector design

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be ideal for home or office setups where cables are frequently plugged and unplugged, as the lack of a snagless latch protection can make the release clips more susceptible to snagging on other wires. Furthermore, the 35-meter length is excessive for short desktop connections, where surplus cable management could become impractical.

• Shielding type: S/FTP with PiMF (Pairs in Metal Foil)
• Conductor material: Copper (CU), 28 AWG
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends without latch protection
• Colour: Grey

How to use

To establish a network connection, plug one RJ-45 connector of the MicroConnect SSTP635 cable into an available port on your network switch, router, or patch panel, and insert the other end into the compatible port on your target network device, such as a computer or access point. Ensure that the connectors click securely into place. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling tension, or pinching behind heavy furniture to maintain optimal internal shielding and conductor integrity over the entire 35-meter span.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 35-meter length is appropriate for your specific distance requirements between network endpoints
• Confirm that your networking equipment supports Cat6 S/FTP connections
• Assess whether the lack of snagless boot protection aligns with your installation environment and frequency of reconnection
• Check local building safety codes to ensure LSZH cable requirements are met for your specific installation site

Usage recommendations

Always route network cables away from heavy power lines and fluorescent lighting ballasts to maximize the benefits of the S/FTP shielding. Ensure proper cable management using Velcro ties rather than tight plastic zip ties to prevent deformation of the internal 28 AWG copper pairs.
