Network Cable ShiverPeaks 75717-AG CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF, 1 m (shielded, pair in metal foil)

ShiverPeaks 75717-AG CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF network cable, 1 m, is a shielded Ethernet cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling environments. Built to the CAT 6A specification, the cable supports 10 Gbps connections over short and mid-range distances and features S/FTP construction — an overall braided shield plus each twisted pair wrapped in metal foil (PIMF) — to reduce electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk. The cable is suitable for installations that require stable 1G and 10G links such as server racks, switch interconnects and industrial network segments.

Advantages

The S/FTP design with a braided outer shield and foil-wrapped pairs enhances immunity to external EMI and improves signal integrity compared with unshielded alternatives. CAT 6A performance margin supports high-throughput applications and future-proofs cabling for upgrades to 10 Gbps. The 1 m length provides a compact solution for patching between switches, patch panels and active equipment in racks or wall-mounted enclosures without excess cable slack.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, routers and patch panels in data centers and server rooms
• Short runs in office structured cabling where 10 Gbps or high gigabit reliability is required
• Industrial or EMI-prone environments where shielded cabling is preferred
• Equipment interconnects in network racks, cabinets and communication enclosures

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT 6A (supports 10 Gbps)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield + foil individually shielded pairs, PIMF)
• Length: 1 m
• Conductor type: stranded copper suitable for patch cords
• Connector type: RJ45 (standard 8P8C terminated plug)
• Application: Ethernet networking, 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T/10GBASE-T compatibility

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or patch panel and the other plug to the corresponding device port. Use the 1 m ShiverPeaks CAT 6A S/FTP patch cable for short interconnects inside racks or between adjacent equipment to minimize excess cable length. Ensure that cable shields are properly terminated with shielded ports or adapters when used in shielded installations to maintain EMI protection. Avoid sharp bends and tight kinks during installation and route the cable away from high-voltage power lines where possible.

Recommendations

For shielded cable performance, pair the ShiverPeaks CAT 6A S/FTP cable with shielded RJ45 ports or grounded patch panels. Verify connector shielding continuity at installation points and maintain bend radius recommendations to preserve signal quality. Regularly inspect connections in high-vibration or industrial settings to ensure long-term reliability.
