networking cable ShiverPeaks BS20-60255

The ShiverPeaks BS20-60255 is a 2 m Cat6a networking cable designed for high-speed wired connections. It features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and twisted pair construction to maintain signal integrity over short runs. The cable is terminated with RJ‑45 plugs that have gold‑plated contacts to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion, supporting data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s for applications that require stable, high-bandwidth links.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, which helps maintain consistent throughput in environments with multiple networked devices or nearby electrical equipment. The Cat6a specification enables higher bandwidth and better performance for gigabit and 10-gigabit Ethernet connections. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts enhance durability and ensure a reliable conductive interface for repeated plugging cycles.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches, and routers in home and small office networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as 4K/8K streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers
• Short patch runs in server racks, network cabinets, or behind entertainment centers
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Length: 2 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually shielded pairs with overall foil shield)
• Connector type: RJ‑45
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Use case: Ethernet networking up to 10 Gbps over short distances

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of your device and the other plug to a switch, router, or modem port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a proper electrical connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends or tight loops in the cable and keep it separated from high‑power electrical cables to minimize interference. Verify network speed and link status through your device or network equipment diagnostics after connection.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat6a cable for short to medium runs within rooms or cabinets. Maintain bend radii larger than the cable diameter, avoid crushing or kinking, and use dedicated cable management to prevent strain on the connectors. In environments with substantial electromagnetic noise, ensure proper grounding of connected equipment and use shielded ports or patch panels where available.
