Microconnect SSTP603R Cavo di rete rosso 3 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect SSTP603R is a 3 m red Cat6 networking cable with S/FTP shielding, designed for reliable wired connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers and structured network outlets. It supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz and data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s, and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The cable includes latch protection to reduce risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and limits crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity and lower error rates. The Cat6 construction ensures performance up to the Cat6 standard (250 MHz) while remaining compatible with older Cat5e/Cat5 systems. Latch protection on the RJ45 connector prevents accidental damage during routing through confined installations. The 3 m length and red colour make the cable suitable for visible patching or colour-coded cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office wired networks
• Entertainment devices that require stable wired connections (set-top boxes, smart TVs, media players)
• Colour-coded network installations and short patch runs

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield + individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 3 m
• Max data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Connector protection: latch protection
• Compatibility: backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5
• Colour: Red

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the network ports of your devices or into the corresponding patch panel or keystone jack. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong interference; use the 3 m length for short runs between equipment or from wall outlets to devices. For installations in confined spaces, the latch protection helps prevent connector damage during insertion.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for Cat6 and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use colour-coding like the red Microconnect SSTP603R to simplify identification in patch panels and racks. If connecting over longer distances or in high-interference environments, consider appropriate infrastructure (patch panels, switches with shielded ports) to preserve the benefits of S/FTP shielding.
