Network Cable ShiverPeaks 08-64045 CAT6 S/FTP PIMF, 4-pair, shielded Ethernet cable

ShiverPeaks Network Cable 08-64045 CAT6 S/FTP PIMF is a shielded, four-pair Ethernet cable designed for gigabit and higher-speed LAN environments. Each twisted pair is wrapped in foil and the entire cable features an overall braided shield to minimize electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk. The cable’s construction supports reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems, server rooms, office networks and industrial installations where shielded connectivity is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF design provides enhanced protection against external noise and near-end crosstalk compared with unshielded or partially shielded alternatives. Individual pair foil shields combined with an overall braid improve signal integrity over longer runs and in noisy environments. The cable is suitable for high-speed Ethernet applications and offers consistent impedance and performance characteristics expected from category 6 cabling.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet and higher-speed LAN connections
• Structured cabling in offices and data centres
• Server rooms and telecommunication racks
• Industrial environments with elevated electromagnetic interference
• Patch panels, switches and network endpoints requiring shielded cabling

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6
• Cable shielding: S/FTP (overall braid shield with foil around each pair)
• Conductor pairs: 4 twisted pairs, PIMF (pairs in metal foil)
• Impedance: compliant with CAT6 electrical characteristics for stable transmission
• Intended usage: Ethernet LAN, structured cabling, patching
• Typical applications: Gigabit Ethernet, PoE where shielding is required

How to use

Install the ShiverPeaks CAT6 S/FTP cable according to standard structured cabling practices. Terminate the cable with compatible shielded RJ45 connectors or shielded keystone jacks, and ensure the braid and foil drain are correctly connected to the connector shield to maintain continuity of the grounding. Route the cable away from strong sources of interference when possible and use proper bend radius to avoid damaging the internal pairs. Test each run after installation with an appropriate cable tester to verify continuity, pair integrity and performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use shielded connectors and maintain proper grounding at both ends of the run. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling tension during installation. In environments with significant EMI, pair this cable with grounded metal patch panels and properly bonded racks to preserve shielding effectiveness.
