Network patch cable ShiverPeaks Cat6A S/FTP PIMF halogen-free 15.0 m

The Network patch cable ShiverPeaks Cat6A S/FTP PIMF halogen-free 15.0 m is a shielded Ethernet patch lead engineered for high-speed LAN and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. It uses pair-in-metal-foil (PIMF) construction with an overall braid to provide pair-level shielding and enhanced electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The halogen-free outer jacket reduces toxic and corrosive emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for environments requiring low smoke and non-halogen materials.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF design reduces near-end crosstalk and alien crosstalk, improving signal integrity for 10GBASE-T applications. The combined pair and overall shielding enhances immunity to external interference while maintaining consistent performance across the full Cat6A bandwidth. The halogen-free jacket and robust shielding meet installation requirements in data centers, offices and industrial sites where reduced smoke and corrosive gases are important for safety and equipment protection.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• High-speed LAN wiring in offices and commercial buildings
• Industrial network installations requiring enhanced EMC protection
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (supports 10GBASE-T)
• Shielding: S/FTP with pair-in-metal-foil (PIMF) and overall braid
• Conductor: twisted pair copper conductors (solid or stranded depending on termination needs)
• Jacket material: halogen-free compound for reduced smoke and toxic emissions
• Length: 15.0 m
• Typical applications: horizontal patching, equipment interconnects, server and switch connections

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs of the patch cable between network ports on switches, patch panels, routers or network devices. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and retention clips engage to maintain a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain recommended minimum bend radius during installation. For best performance, keep this shielded cable separate from high-power electrical conductors and secure shield terminations at both ends when connecting to shielded network hardware or patch panels.

Recommendations

Use this shielded Cat6A patch cable for critical links where 10G performance and EMC protection are required. When integrating into shielded systems, verify proper grounding of cable shields and use compatible shielded connectors and patch panels to preserve the cable’s shielding effectiveness. Avoid sharp bends and prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures to maintain long-term signal performance.
