Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75717-AB 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75717-AB 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is designed for high-speed wired Ethernet connections. This blue patch cable supports Cat6a performance and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic and crosstalk interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors for compatibility with routers, switches, network cards and other Ethernet devices, making it suitable for structured cabling and point-to-point links.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs, improving immunity to external interference and internal crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. The 7.5m length provides flexibility in home and office setups without excessive slack. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance, while the cable jacket in blue offers easy visual identification within cable runs.

Suitable for

• 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet links where Cat6a performance is required
• Connecting switches, routers, NAS devices and networked workstations
• Shielded installations or environments with potential electromagnetic interference
• Structured cabling in home offices, small offices and server rooms

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 7.5 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Conductor: stranded or solid copper conductors suitable for patching (verify installation requirements)
• Color: blue

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the Ethernet ports of your devices until a click confirms engagement. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points; maintain a minimum bend radius consistent with standard Ethernet cable handling to preserve signal integrity. For permanent installations check whether stranded patch cable or solid cable is appropriate; this product is intended primarily as a patch cable for flexible connections between network equipment.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or large electrical equipment. Use cable management accessories to reduce mechanical stress and maintain shield continuity by ensuring properly grounded shielded network equipment if deployed in a shielded network topology.
