Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75720-AR Red 10m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75720-AR Red 10m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is designed for reliable high-speed Ethernet connections. This 10-metre cable conforms to Cat6a performance levels and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors and the cable’s red jacket makes it easily distinguishable within patch panels, racks, or workstation setups.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against external noise and pair-to-pair interference, supporting stable data transmission at higher frequencies. The Cat6a specification enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet over typical installation distances, while the pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors simplify installation without additional termination tools. The 10 m length balances flexibility and reach for many home and office arrangements, and the colored outer jacket aids cable management and visual identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels in home and small office networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet, video streaming and large file transfers
• Structured cabling where reduced interference is required (near power supplies or dense cable bundles)
• Temporary or permanent workstation and server connections that require clear visual identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a cabling standard suitable for up to 10 Gbps over typical lengths
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield plus individually shielded pairs) for improved noise rejection
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends, pre-terminated
• Color: Red outer jacket for easy identification

How to use

Uncoil the cable and route it following existing cable management practices to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the Ethernet ports of your devices until they click into place. Ensure both ends are securely seated in switches, routers or network interfaces. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or close to sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, maintain bend radius recommendations (avoid tight loops), keep runs within recommended lengths for Cat6a performance, and label both ends if used in multi-cable installations. Verify network settings and test links with appropriate network testers after installation to confirm 10 Gigabit operation where required.
