Network patch cable ShiverPeaks S/CONN Cat6A S/FTP PIMF halogen-free, yellow, 0.5 m

ShiverPeaks S/CONN Cat6A S/FTP PIMF halogen-free patch cable, 0.5 m, is designed for high-speed LAN and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interconnections. The cable features pair-wise foil (PIMF) with an overall braided shield (S/FTP) to provide robust protection against alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, and its halogen-free jacket reduces toxic emissions in case of fire. GHMT certification confirms conformity with defined mechanical and electrical requirements for structured cabling components.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF construction offers improved pair-level and overall shielding that reduces crosstalk and external EMI, ensuring consistent signal integrity at elevated frequencies. The short 0.5 m length is suitable for patching in dense rack environments and minimizes excess cable bulk. The halogen-free outer jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces where low-smoke, low-toxicity materials are required, and the cable is engineered to meet Cat6A performance for 10 Gbps operation over appropriate distances.

Suitable for

• Patch panel to switch connections in data centers and server rooms
• Switch-to-switch links in enterprise networks
• High-density rack and cabinet patching where short runs are needed
• Environments requiring halogen-free cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid with pair-wise foil (PIMF)
• Conductor and pair structure: twisted pairs with pair-level foil
• Jacket: halogen-free outer sheath for reduced smoke and toxicity
• Color: yellow; Length: 0.5 m
• Certification: tested to GHMT standards for mechanical and electrical parameters

How to use

Use the ShiverPeaks Cat6A patch cable to connect networking equipment such as switches, patch panels and servers where a short, high-performance link is required. Insert the RJ45 connectors fully into compatible ports until the latch clicks. Route the cable in the rack or cabinet to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain bend radius guidelines for Cat6A cabling to preserve signal integrity. For best results, pair this cable with Cat6A-compatible hardware and organized patching practices.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with power lines and maintain separation from EMI sources. Use the 0.5 m length for short patch runs in high-density racks to minimize excess slack; where longer distances are needed, select an appropriately rated Cat6A cable. Periodically inspect connectors for wear and ensure strain relief at termination points.
