Network cable ShiverPeaks 08-64013 CAT6 S/FTP PIMF, bulk data cabling

ShiverPeaks Network Cable 08-64013 CAT6 S/FTP PIMF is a shielded twisted-pair cable engineered for structured data cabling and Ethernet installations. With individually foil-shielded pairs and an overall braided shield, this Cat6 cable reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference to support stable gigabit Ethernet connections in LAN wiring, server rooms and office networks where higher immunity to noise is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF construction combines pair-level foil shielding with an overall braided shield, providing enhanced protection against external electromagnetic disturbances and internal pair-to-pair interference. The cable meets Cat6 performance parameters suitable for up to 1 Gbit/s Ethernet and supports reliable signal integrity over horizontal and backbone runs. Build quality and shielding make it appropriate for installations near active equipment and in environments with elevated EMI.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbit/s) networks and LAN wiring
• Structured cabling in offices and commercial buildings
• Server rooms and rack-to-rack connections where shielding is required
• Environments with significant electromagnetic interference or adjacent power cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 shielded twisted pair (S/FTP PIMF)
• Pair shielding: foil around each pair (PIMF)
• Overall shielding: braided screen (S)
• Conductor type: copper solid or stranded conductors suitable for data cabling
• Impedance: 100 ohm characteristic impedance
• Frequency range: supports frequencies appropriate for Cat6 performance
• Application: horizontal and backbone Ethernet installations

How to use

Install the cable following standard structured cabling practices: route the cable along designated pathways and avoid tight bends or kinks. Terminate using compatible shielded RJ45 connectors and maintain proper grounding of the overall shield to ensure the shielding effectiveness. When making terminations, preserve the pair twists as close to the connector as possible and use appropriate cable management to prevent mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this shielded Cat6 cable in installations where metallic shielding can be grounded consistently. Avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines without separation and follow local cabling standards for patch panels, jacks and grounding to maintain signal integrity and compliance.
