Network cable ShiverPeaks 75711-AB CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF, solid/stranded compatible

ShiverPeaks 75711-AB CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF network cable is designed for reliable high-speed Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbps. The cable features pair-in-metal-foil (PIMF) construction with an overall braided shield (S/FTP) to reduce alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Compatible with both solid and stranded terminations, it is suitable for structured cabling, patching, and permanent link installations in data centers, offices, and industrial environments that require CAT 6A performance and improved noise immunity.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF design combines individual foil shielding on each twisted pair with an overall braid to provide enhanced protection against near-end crosstalk and external EMI. Compatibility with both solid and stranded conductors simplifies deployment across patch panels, keystone jacks, and patch cords. The cable’s construction supports 10 Gbps Ethernet and maintains consistent signal integrity over typical horizontal runs, making it suitable for modern high-density network installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Office structured cabling and horizontal cabling systems
• Patch cables and panel connections where S/FTP shielding is required
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6A performance, supports up to 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid plus individual pair foil (PIMF)
• Conductor compatibility: suitable for both solid and stranded terminations
• Impedance: industry-standard 100 Ω characteristic impedance
• Application: structured cabling, patching, and permanent links
• Typical use environment: data centers, offices, industrial installations

How to use

Terminate the cable according to the relevant wiring standard (T568A or T568B) and follow recommended practices for shielded cabling. Ensure the braided shield and pair foil are properly grounded at patch panels or outlets to maintain shielding effectiveness. When creating patch cords or field-terminating to jacks, select connectors and boots designed for S/FTP cables and confirm compatibility with solid or stranded conductors. Maintain appropriate bend radius and avoid tight staples or kinks to preserve signal performance.

Recommendations

For best performance, install this CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF cable in compliance with local cabling standards and test each link with certified Cat6A test equipment. Ground shielding at a single point where possible to reduce ground loop risks, and segregate power and data runs to minimize EMI exposure.
