Network Cable ShiverPeaks CAT6 S/FTP PIMF 08-64035 – Ethernet patch and installation cable

ShiverPeaks Network Cable CAT6 S/FTP PIMF (model 08-64035) is a shielded Ethernet patch and installation cable engineered for Gigabit networks and structured cabling. The cable uses CAT6 performance parameters with S/FTP construction and Pairs-in-Metal-Foil (PIMF) shielding to limit crosstalk between pairs and to reduce external electromagnetic interference. This design makes the cable suitable for patching, horizontal runs and device interconnections in office and home network environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF construction provides pair-level foil shielding plus an overall braided shield to improve signal integrity in environments with potential interference. CAT6 performance supports data rates up to Gigabit Ethernet and improved near-end crosstalk characteristics compared with lower category cables. The cable’s flexible jacket and standardized RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common patch panels, switches and network outlets, while sturdy shielding maintains consistent performance in mixed-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Ethernet patching between switches, routers and wall outlets
• Horizontal structured cabling in offices and commercial premises
• Device connections where reduced electromagnetic interference is required
• Home networks requiring reliable Gigabit performance

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6, suitable for Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP — braided overall shield with foil on each twisted pair (PIMF)
• Application: patch and installation cable for horizontal and patch-cord use
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper conductors
• Typical impedance: 100 ohm (typical for CAT6 cables)
• Jacket: flexible outer sheath for routing and installation

How to use

Use the cable to connect network devices such as switches, routers, computers and wall outlets. For patching, plug the RJ45 connectors into corresponding ports on network equipment; for permanent or horizontal runs, route the cable through cable trays or conduits while avoiding tight bends and excessive pulling tension. Ensure connectors are fully seated and verify link status on devices after connection. When terminating or testing, follow standard cabling practices and use appropriate tools and testers rated for CAT6 performance.

Recommendations

Route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise (large motors, fluorescent ballast, or high-power electrical cables) when possible. Maintain bend radius and pull force within manufacturer or industry-recommended limits and use shielded connectors and properly grounded panels to benefit fully from the S/FTP PIMF shielding.
