Network cable ShiverPeaks 75711-AR CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF, bulk network cable

ShiverPeaks 75711-AR CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF bulk network cable is designed for high-speed Ethernet networks requiring reliable shielding and performance. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is constructed with pair-in-metal-foil (PIMF) and an overall braided or foil shield (S/FTP) to minimize electromagnetic interference in structured cabling installations, server rooms, data centers and office LANs.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF construction provides robust protection against crosstalk and external interference, enabling stable high-bandwidth transmission. As a CAT 6A cable, it delivers increased frequency support and lower attenuation for 10 Gbps network links. The halogen-free materials reduce toxic fumes in the event of fire, and the cable’s mechanical design supports consistent signal integrity over longer cable runs common in commercial and data center environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Structured cabling for office LAN installations
• Backbone and horizontal network runs requiring shielded cabling
• High-density rack and patch panel connections where EMI protection is needed

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6A suitable for 10 Gbps applications
• Shielding: S/FTP with pair-in-metal-foil (PIMF) and overall shield for EMI/RFI protection
• Conductor type: Typically solid or stranded copper conductors designed for Ethernet signaling
• Fire performance: Halogen-free jacket material to limit toxic emissions
• Typical use: Bulk cable for installation in structured cabling, rack, and patching environments

How to use

Install the cable according to standard structured cabling practices, observing maximum bend radius and pulling tension limits to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. Strip outer jacket and drain/foil layers carefully to expose individual pairs for termination on compatible shielded connectors and patch panels. Ensure proper shield termination to maintain S/FTP effectiveness and test installed links with a certified network tester to verify performance up to CAT 6A specifications.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise, maintain proper separation from power cabling, and terminate shields at patch panels or outlet boxes following the installer’s grounding scheme. Use compatible shielded connectors and test each run for NEXT, return loss and overall channel performance to confirm 10 Gbps readiness.
