Network Cable ShiverPeaks 75715-AY CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF, shielded high-speed Ethernet cable

ShiverPeaks 75715-AY CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF is a shielded high-speed Ethernet cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and demanding network environments. The cable uses an overall shield combined with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs (S/FTP) and a paired island mass foil (PIMF) structure to reduce alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Constructed for permanent or patching installations, this halogen-free cable is suitable when reliable, shielded connectivity and high data rates are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF construction provides enhanced protection against near-end and far-end crosstalk as well as external electromagnetic disturbances, improving signal integrity at high frequencies. As a CAT 6A cable it supports 10 Gbps links over typical installation distances and is certified for professional networking environments. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic gas emission in case of fire, and the shielded design meets requirements for installations where interference control and data security are priorities.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone and horizontal cabling in data centers
• Office network runs where shielded cabling is mandated
• Server racks, switch-to-switch connections and high-density patch panels
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference or radio frequency sources

How to use

Install the cable following standard structured cabling practices: route the cable avoiding tight bends and sources of mechanical stress, maintain proper separation from power cabling where possible, and terminate onto compatible shielded connectors or patch panels to preserve the shielding continuity. Ensure both connector shells and rack equipment are properly grounded to make the shielding effective. Test the installed link with a category-appropriate certifier to verify performance and compliance with cabling standards.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use shielded connectors and maintain continuous grounding along the link. Avoid sharp bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain. Use this cable for links where 10 Gbps performance and EMI protection are required, and validate each run with a certified tester before commissioning.
