Microconnect KAB018-305 verkkokaapeli harmaa 305 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Microconnect KAB018-305 S/FTP Cat6 networking cable is a 305 m grey cable designed for structured cabling in homes and offices. It complies with Cat6 standards and uses S/FTP (SSTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain reliable data transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s. The cable is supplied on a reel and has no pre-attached connectors.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding (also referred to as SSTP) provides both overall braid shielding and individual foil shielding for each pair, improving protection against crosstalk and external noise. As a Cat6 cable, it supports high data rates and is suitable for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate distances. The 305 m length is convenient for larger installations and reduces the need for multiple cable joins.

Suitable for

• Structured home and office network installations
• Patch panels and distribution frames (with separate RJ45 connectors fitted as needed)
• Ethernet applications up to Cat6/Cat6a performance levels where shielding is required

How to use

Measure and cut the required cable length from the reel, strip the outer jacket carefully to expose twisted pairs, and terminate each pair with appropriate RJ45 connectors or punch down onto patch panels following T568A or T568B wiring standards. Ensure that shield continuity is maintained by using shielded connectors and proper grounding where required. Test each finished run with a cable tester to verify pair continuity, wiring order, and performance.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or near large electrical equipment. Use shielded connectors and proper grounding in environments with high electromagnetic interference. Observe maximum recommended run lengths for Cat6 when planning 10 Gbit/s links and follow local installation standards.
