Network Cable ShiverPeaks 08-64044 CAT 6 S/FTP PIMF, solid/conductor spec not specified

ShiverPeaks 08-64044 CAT 6 S/FTP PIMF network cable is engineered for structured cabling where Cat6 performance and shielding are required. The cable features an overall foil screen (S/FTP) with individually foil-shielded pairs laid using a PIMF (Pairs In Metal Foil) configuration to reduce near-end and far-end crosstalk as well as external electromagnetic interference. It is intended for use in Gigabit Ethernet, LAN connections, patch panels, switches and horizontal cabling runs in office and data-closet environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against external noise compared with unshielded alternatives, supporting stable high-speed data transmission. Individual pair foil shielding and the PIMF lay improve pair isolation and reduce crosstalk between pairs, which helps maintain signal integrity over typical Cat6 distances. The cable's design is compatible with standard Cat6 termination and installation practices used in enterprise and small-business networks.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links in office and commercial LANs
• Connections between switches, patch panels and network equipment
• Horizontal structured cabling in data closets and telecommunications rooms
• Environments where additional shielding is required to limit EMI/RFI

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6 performance class
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil with individually foil-shielded pairs (PIMF)
• Typical applications: Gigabit Ethernet, LAN cabling, patching
• Conductor type: solid conductors (manufacturer entry: solid/conductor spec not specified)

How to use

Install the cable following standard structured cabling practices for Cat6 S/FTP cable. Route the cable along intended pathways, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. Terminate using compatible Cat6 connectors or keystone jacks designed for S/FTP cable, ensuring effective connection of the overall drain/foil to the connector shielding or patch panel ground. Test completed links with appropriate cable certification or qualification testers to verify performance and continuity before putting the link into production.

Recommendations

Use this cable within recommended Cat6 distance limits for horizontal runs and avoid exceeding bend radius or compressing the cable to preserve shielding and performance. Where grounding is required for S/FTP systems, ensure proper grounding of shield termination points to maintain EMI protection.
