Network cable ShiverPeaks 08-64000 Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF, copper, bulk cable

ShiverPeaks 08-64000 Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF network cable is a bulk cable intended for structured cabling and Gigabit Ethernet environments. The cable uses four twisted copper pairs with individual foil shielding for each pair and an overall braided shield, providing S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) protection. Its PIMF (Pairs in Metal Foil) construction reduces near-end crosstalk and maintains signal integrity across typical Ethernet distances, making it suitable for data, voice and video transmission in commercial and residential installations.

Advantages

The combination of individual pair foil shields and a braided outer shield minimizes electromagnetic interference and alien crosstalk in dense cable runs. Solid copper conductors ensure stable connection quality and lower attenuation compared with copper-clad alternatives. The PIMF design improves pair-to-pair isolation, supporting reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance and consistent data throughput over horizontal cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling backbones and horizontal data lines in offices and data rooms
• Gigabit Ethernet networks and high-bandwidth LAN connections
• Data, voice and video transmission in commercial and residential installations
• Installations requiring enhanced shielding against EMI and crosstalk

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6
• Shielding: S/FTP with individually foil-shielded pairs and overall braided shield
• Conductor material: copper (solid conductors)
• Pair construction: PIMF (Pairs in Metal Foil)
• Application: structured cabling, Gigabit Ethernet
• Signal support: data, voice, video transmission

How to use

Use this bulk network cable by routing it through cable trays, conduits or wall channels according to building standards and local regulations. Terminate individual solid conductors with compatible Cat 6 keystone jacks, patch panels or RJ45 connectors designed for solid cable. When terminating, preserve the foil shields and braid as required by the selected connector type to maintain overall shielding continuity. Observe recommended bend radius and avoid sharp kinks to prevent performance degradation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in Gigabit Ethernet environments, keep cable runs within the 100-meter horizontal limit for structured cabling and separate shielded data cables from high-voltage power lines. Use compatible shielded connectors and ensure correct grounding of the overall braided shield to realize the full EMI protection of S/FTP PIMF construction.
