Network cable ShiverPeaks 75711-A0.5W CAT6A S/FTP PIMF, 0.5 m

ShiverPeaks 75711-A0.5W CAT6A S/FTP PIMF network cable, 0.5 m, is a short patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet links in structured cabling environments. The cable conforms to CAT6A class performance and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair wiring. Its S/FTP construction with pairwise foil (PIMF) and an overall braided or foil screen reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, making it suitable for connecting patch panels, switches and workstations in dense or electrically noisy installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF design provides improved protection against external EMI and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, supporting reliable 10 Gbps transmission at short link lengths. The 0.5 m length is intended for patching between adjacent ports in racks or connecting devices on the same desk, reducing excess cable slack. The cable is halogen-free and GHMT-certified, ensuring compliance with common safety and low-smoke requirements for installation environments.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch and patch panel in racks
• Connecting desktop workstations to wall outlets or desktop switches
• Short interconnects inside equipment cabinets or data centers

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A
• Topology: S/FTP with pairwise foil (PIMF)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over CAT6A
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: white
• Construction: halogen-free
• Certification: GHMT-certified

How to use

Use the ShiverPeaks CAT6A patch cable to connect RJ45 ports on network switches, patch panels and endpoint devices. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive twisting of the cable and ensure connectors are fully inserted into mating RJ45 jacks. The short 0.5 m length is intended for direct patching in rack-mounted equipment or local device connections where minimal slack is required.

Recommendations

Install this cable in shielded or mixed environments where EMI reduction is important. Ensure both ends of the link use compatible shielded connectors and that the installation maintains proper grounding of shields to realize the full benefits of S/FTP PIMF construction. Avoid routing near high-voltage power lines for best signal integrity.
