Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75717 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP Grey

The ShiverPeaks BS75717 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP Grey networking cable delivers a reliable wired connection for high-speed data transfer and low-interference operation. Designed with Cat6a performance, S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts, this 7.5 metre cable is intended for use where stable gigabit or 10 Gigabit-capable links and reduced electromagnetic interference are required. Its neutral grey jacket provides a discreet appearance suitable for home networks, office workstations and rack installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines overall foil and individually shielded pairs to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity over longer distances compared with lower-category cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer improved conductivity and corrosion resistance for consistent contact quality. The 7.5 m length balances reach and cable management, allowing flexible placement of network devices without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network printers to switches or routers
• Patch connections in home and office networking racks
• High-bandwidth applications such as file transfers, video streaming and VoIP
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference from nearby electronics

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45, 8P8C
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Cable colour: Grey
• Designed for: Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (PC, laptop, switch, router or access point) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the network equipment. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of mechanical strain; leave gentle loops rather than tight kinks. For rack or patch-panel use, measure and plan routing to maintain tidy cable management and allow airflow around networking equipment.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for stable wired connections in environments where reduced interference and higher bandwidth are needed. Avoid routing the cable near high-voltage power lines or heavy machinery, and replace damaged cables to maintain optimal signal quality.
