Network cable ShiverPeaks 75726-AR CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF, high-speed 10GbE structured cabling

ShiverPeaks 75726-AR CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF cable is a high-performance network cable engineered for structured cabling installations that require reliable 10GbE performance. The design combines individually foil-shielded twisted pairs with an overall braided shield to limit alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Constructed for permanent link and horizontal cabling, this halogen-free cable is suitable for use in data centers, enterprise LANs and backbone runs where consistent high throughput and signal integrity are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF construction provides strong protection against near-end and far-end crosstalk while maintaining controlled impedance for stable 10GbE transmission. An overall braid improves immunity to external electromagnetic sources and supports long horizontal cable runs. Halogen-free materials reduce smoke and corrosive gas emissions in case of fire, and the cable meets recognized performance standards for CAT 6A structured cabling, ensuring compatibility with high-speed networking equipment.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet LANs and backbone links
• Data center patching and horizontal cabling
• Office network installations and structured cabling systems
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6A (10GbE performance)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid plus individually foil-shielded pairs (PIMF)
• Conductor type: twisted pairs designed for balanced transmission
• Compliance: designed to meet CAT 6A structured cabling performance parameters
• Jacket: halogen-free outer sheath for reduced smoke and corrosive emissions
• Length: 20.0 m (color: red — for visible identification in installations)

How to use

Install the cable as part of a structured cabling system between patch panels, switches and outlets. Terminate each end using compatible CAT 6A connectors or keystone jacks following manufacturer instructions to preserve shielding continuity; ensure the braid and foil shields are properly bonded at grounding points to maintain EMI protection. Route the cable avoiding high-power electrical runs and sharp bends; maintain manufacturer minimum bend radius and support intervals to prevent mechanical stress that could affect transmission performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use this CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF cable for horizontal runs up to standard channel lengths and in installations where EMI reduction is important. Pair with CAT 6A-rated connectors and testing equipment to verify channel performance after installation. When terminating shielded cable, ensure proper grounding and continuity of the overall and pair shields to achieve the intended reduction in crosstalk and interference.
