Network cable ShiverPeaks 08-64031 Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF, bulk data cable

ShiverPeaks 08-64031 Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF bulk data cable is a structured cabling component engineered for reliable Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed LAN links. The cable combines category 6 performance with S/FTP shielding and paired-in-metal-foil (PIMF) construction to reduce alien crosstalk and provide enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for backbone runs, horizontal cabling and connections between switches, patch panels and network devices.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding layout uses an overall braided screen plus individually foil-wrapped pairs to minimize pair-to-pair and external interference. Category 6 specification ensures support for 250 MHz bandwidth and reliable data transmission for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-throughput network applications. The bulk cable format allows flexible installation lengths and clean terminations to user-chosen connectors or keystone jacks, supporting professional structured cabling practices.

Suitable for

• Structured LAN horizontal and backbone cabling
• Wiring between switches, patch panels and servers
• Office and data center Ethernet installations up to Cat 6 performance
• Environments requiring increased EMI protection and reduced crosstalk

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6 performance, supporting up to 250 MHz
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid plus foil around each twisted pair (PIMF)
• Conductor: twisted pair copper cores suitable for network terminations
• Format: bulk data cable for on-site cutting and termination
• Typical applications: Ethernet, Gigabit networks, structured cabling

How to use

Cut the bulk cable to the required length and prepare terminations according to the chosen connector or patch panel specifications. Strip the outer jacket carefully to preserve the braid and foil screens, maintain pair twist as much as possible, and follow standard wiring schemes (T568A/T568B) for consistent network performance. Ensure proper grounding of the overall braid at patch panels or racks where required to maintain shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

Install in compliance with local cabling standards and keep separation from strong electrical sources to reduce interference. Use compatible Cat 6 connectors and shielded keystone jacks, and test each run with appropriate certification or qualification tools to verify performance.
