Network cable ShiverPeaks 08-64001 CAT6 S/FTP PIMF, Ethernet patch/installation cable

ShiverPeaks 08-64001 CAT6 S/FTP PIMF network cable is an Ethernet patch and installation cable designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling environments. The cable uses screened foil around each twisted pair (S/FTP) with pair-independent metal foil (PIMF) shielding to limit crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. It is suitable for connecting patch panels, switches, routers and end devices in offices, server rooms and network closets for Gigabit Ethernet and typical LAN applications.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF design provides enhanced protection against external electromagnetic interference and minimizes alien crosstalk between pairs, improving signal integrity for high-speed Ethernet. The cable’s construction supports consistent performance across standard CAT6 frequency ranges and allows stable connections in multi-cable installations. Its flexibility and jacket quality make it suitable for both horizontal patching and short installation runs in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections in office and commercial networks
• Patch panel to switch or switch to device cabling
• Structured cabling installations in server rooms and network cabinets
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is required

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6 Ethernet cable
• Shielding: S/FTP with pair-independent metal foil (PIMF)
• Application: Patch and short installation runs for LAN and Gigabit networks
• Connector style: patch/installation compatible (angled/straight options available in the series)
• Color: blue

How to use

Use the cable to connect network devices such as switches, patch panels, routers and workstations. Route the cable through cable management paths and network cabinet channels, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling force. Ensure connectors and terminations are compatible with shielded CAT6 cabling and install grounding or equipotential bonding if required by your infrastructure to maintain shield effectiveness.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended CAT6 length limits for patch and permanent links, maintain separation from high-voltage power lines, and terminate using compatible shielded RJ45 connectors or pre-terminated modules. Regularly inspect terminations and cable paths to preserve shielding continuity and network reliability.
