Network cable ShiverPeaks 75717-AY Cat 6A S/FTP PIMF, shielded ethernet cable

ShiverPeaks 75717-AY Cat 6A S/FTP PIMF shielded ethernet cable is engineered for high-performance wired networks. This Cat 6A cable features an overall foil shield combined with individually shielded twisted pairs and pair-in-metal-foil construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over standard distances and is suitable for structured cabling in data centers, server rooms and office LAN installations.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP PIMF design provides enhanced protection against EMI and RFI, improving signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. As a Category 6A cable, it supports higher bandwidth and better near-end crosstalk (NEXT) performance compared with lower categories. The halogen-free construction reduces toxic smoke in case of fire, and the cable’s certified compliance with industry standards ensures predictable electrical characteristics for reliable connection performance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbones and uplinks
• Structured cabling in data centers and server rooms
• Office LANs requiring shielded connections
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the cable by routing it through cable trays or conduits and terminating with compatible RJ45 shielded connectors and patch panels designed for Cat 6A. Ensure that shields are properly bonded to grounding points at installation to maintain shielding effectiveness. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force during installation to preserve electrical performance. Use appropriate cable management to separate power and data runs where possible.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, test completed links with a Cat 6A-capable cable tester and verify continuity of shield termination. Use the cable for uplinks and horizontal runs where 10 Gbps throughput and EMI protection are required, and maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and installation practices.
