Network Cable ShiverPeaks 08-64005 Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF, 4-pair twisted, shielded

ShiverPeaks 08-64005 Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF, 4-pair twisted, shielded is a network cable engineered for reliable high-speed Ethernet connections. Its S/FTP PIMF design combines an overall braided shield with individual foil shielding around each of the four twisted pairs, providing improved protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and pair-to-pair crosstalk. The cable supports structured cabling and local area network installations, and is suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications that require Category 6 performance.

Advantages

The combination of individual pair foil shields and an overall braid reduces near-end crosstalk and external EMI, resulting in more stable signal transmission at higher data rates. The four twisted pairs maintain consistent impedance and signal integrity for applications up to Cat 6 performance levels. The cable construction makes it suitable for installations in environments with electrical noise or dense cable bundles, while maintaining support for PoE power delivery.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in office and data center environments
• Ethernet LAN connections at Cat 6 performance
• Power over Ethernet devices such as IP phones, access points, and cameras
• Runs near electrical equipment or through cable trays with potential interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield + foil shield per pair)
• Conductor pairs: 4 twisted pairs (PIMF)
• Intended use: Ethernet, LAN, structured cabling, PoE
• Typical performance: supports Cat 6 frequency and data-rate characteristics
• Color and form factor: available in black, right-angle to straight connector configurations for short patch length (0.25 m variant)

How to use

Install the cable following standard structured cabling practices: route the cable avoiding tight bends and excessive tensile stress, maintain appropriate separation from sources of strong electromagnetic fields, and secure cable runs in trays or conduits as required. Terminate or connect the cable using compatible Cat 6 S/FTP-capable connectors and hardware to preserve the shielding continuity. For patch panels and devices, ensure correct mating of connectors so the shield is properly grounded at one or both ends per your site grounding policy.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable lengths within recommended limits for Ethernet and avoid kinking. When deploying in mixed-shielded environments, verify connector and panel compatibility to maintain shield integrity and grounding. Use this cable for installations where EMI immunity and Cat 6 performance are required, and consider testing installed runs with appropriate certificaton tools to confirm performance.
