Network Cable ShiverPeaks 75726-AG CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF, 4-pair shielded Ethernet cable

ShiverPeaks 75726-AG CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF, 4-pair shielded Ethernet cable is engineered for high-performance, shielded network installations. The cable combines four individually foil-shielded twisted pairs (PIMF) with an overall braided shield (S/FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and pair-to-pair crosstalk. Designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling, this halogen-free cable supports demanding environments such as data centers and industrial networks where reliable high-speed connectivity is required.

Advantages

The cable's S/FTP PIMF construction provides enhanced EMI protection and improved alien crosstalk resistance compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain signal integrity over longer runs. Being a Category 6A product, it is rated for 10 Gbps Ethernet applications and is suitable for installations that require higher bandwidth and tighter performance margins. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic emissions in case of fire, and the braided overall shield ensures mechanical robustness and consistent grounding when properly terminated.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Structured building cabling for offices and commercial premises
• Industrial networks and environments with elevated EMI
• Backbone and horizontal runs requiring shielded Category 6A performance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + per-pair foil, PIMF)
• Pairs: 4 twisted pairs
• Supported speed: up to 10 Gbps over appropriate channel lengths
• Jacket: halogen-free material
• Color: green
• Length: 20.0 m

How to use

Install the cable following standard structured cabling practices: route and secure the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress, maintain separation from high-voltage power lines, and ensure proper grounding of the shield at termination points. Terminate ends with compatible shielded connectors and patch panels that support Cat 6A S/FTP cabling to preserve the shielding continuity. Perform certification testing after installation to verify performance parameters such as NEXT, return loss and attenuation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use shielded connectors and shielded patch cords, ensure single-point grounding per site guidelines, and avoid kinking the cable or bending it beyond the recommended bend radius. Run the cable in conduit or cable trays where mechanical protection is needed and perform post-installation testing with a Cat 6A-capable tester.
