Network Cable ShiverPeaks 75711-A1.5B Cat 6A S/FTP PIMF, 1.5 m Ethernet patch lead

ShiverPeaks 75711-A1.5B Cat 6A S/FTP PIMF, 1.5 m Ethernet patch lead is a 1.5-metre network cable engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The cable features screened foil-twisted pairs (S/FTP) with pair-integrated metal foil (PIMF) shielding to reduce alien crosstalk and protect signal integrity in high-density or electrically noisy environments. Its halogen-free jacket and blue outer sheath make it suitable for professional LAN installations, data centre patching and backbone connections between switches, routers and network endpoints.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction with pair-integrated metal foil shielding provides strong protection against near-end and far-end crosstalk as well as external electromagnetic interference, supporting reliable 10 Gigabit performance. The 1.5 m length offers flexibility for patching in racks and short interconnects without excess cable slack. A halogen-free jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces by reducing smoke and toxic gas emissions in case of fire. The cable’s design is compatible with standard RJ45 terminations and common structured-cabling layouts.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in server rooms and data centres
• Patch panels, switches and router interconnects in enterprise LANs
• High-density network racks requiring shielded short patch leads
• Workstation and network endpoint connections where reduced interference is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6A suitable for 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP with pair-integrated metal foil for each twisted pair
• Length: 1.5 metres
• Jacket: halogen-free outer sheath
• Color: blue
• Connector type: RJ45 compatible patch lead ends

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the network device port until it clicks, ensuring secure seating on both ends for proper contact. Use the 1.5 m cable to connect patch panels to switches, route short links between network equipment in racks, or link endpoints to wall ports. Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius; keep the cable clear of high-power electrical sources to maintain shielding effectiveness. Regularly inspect connectors for dirt or damage and replace the cable if shielding or jacket integrity is compromised.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in 10 Gigabit environments, route shielded cables separately from power lines and terminate both ends to compatible RJ45 ports or shielded patch panels to preserve the S/FTP and PIMF shielding continuity. Use the 1.5 m length for short patching in dense rack configurations to reduce excess cable management and maintain airflow.
