Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75711-H0.25B 0.25m Cat6 S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75711-H0.25B 0.25m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable is a short patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in compact setups. It is manufactured to Cat6 performance specifications and uses S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable comes with RJ-45 connectors plated in gold to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion, and its blue jacket provides visual identification within network installations.

Advantages

This cable combines Cat6 transmission capabilities with S/FTP shielding to deliver stable performance for Gigabit Ethernet links over short distances. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide dependable signal transfer and longer contact life. The short 0.25 m length is intended to reduce excess cable clutter and maintain tidy rack or desktop connections while the screened and foil layers reduce external interference in electrically noisy environments.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network devices in racks and server cabinets
• Connecting switches to patch panels in dense installations
• Desktop or workstation connections where cable length must be minimised
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference for stable Ethernet links

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 performance level suitable for Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on individual pairs)
• Length: 0.25 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Colour: blue jacket for easy visual identification

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the appropriate Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring a firm click to confirm connection. Use this 0.25 m cable for direct, short-distance links where minimal slack is required, such as between adjacent switch ports or between a switch and a patch panel. Avoid bending the cable sharply at the connector entry points and maintain gentle curves to preserve shielding and pair geometry. For reliable operation, confirm that connected devices are configured for compatible network speeds and duplex settings.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable within its intended short-range applications and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. In installations with multiple shielded cables, ensure proper grounding of shields at designated grounding points to maintain shielding effectiveness.
