Network cable ShiverPeaks 75712-Y CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF Yellow, bulk cable for 10G Ethernet

ShiverPeaks 75712-Y CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF Yellow is a bulk network cable engineered for reliable 10G Ethernet performance in professional LAN and structured-cabling environments. The cable combines individually foil-shielded twisted pairs (S/FTP) with an overall braid or foil screen to minimize crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity over longer runs. Its yellow jacket improves visibility and circuit identification in dense cabling installations while meeting Cat6A performance requirements for higher bandwidth and lower alien crosstalk.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF construction provides enhanced protection against near-end crosstalk and external EMI compared with unshielded variants, supporting stable 10G transmission. The cable's construction ensures consistent electrical characteristics across pairs and reduces insertion loss at higher frequencies. A distinct yellow outer sheath simplifies route tracing and port mapping during installation and maintenance. Designed for bulk use, it allows flexible length selection for tailored cable runs in racks, trays and conduits.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• Structured cabling for office networks and telecommunications rooms
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference or dense cable bundles
• Patch panels, horizontal cabling runs and vertical backbone installations

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (augmented Cat6) suitable for 10GBASE-T
• Shielding: S/FTP — foil shield around each twisted pair plus overall screen
• Pair configuration: Individually shielded twisted pairs (PIMF-style)
• Conductor type: Solid or stranded copper conductors depending on bulk variant
• Jacket color: Yellow for easy identification
• Frequency range: Supports performance up to 500 MHz and typical Cat6A requirements

How to use

Measure and cut the required cable length from the bulk reel, taking care to avoid kinks or sharp bends that could damage the internal shielding. Strip the outer jacket carefully to preserve the overall screen and then remove the foil shields from each pair as needed for termination. Terminate the cable using compatible RJ45 connectors or shielded keystone jacks designed for Cat6A S/FTP cables, ensuring the overall screen is grounded at the outlet or patch panel according to installation standards. Test each run with a qualified network tester to verify pair continuity, attenuation and alien crosstalk performance before commissioning.

Recommendations

For best results, maintain recommended bend radius and separation from high-voltage power lines; use shielded connectors and properly terminate the overall screen to grounding points. In high-density or high-EMI environments, label runs clearly and document cable routes to simplify future maintenance and troubleshooting.
