Networking cable ShiverPeaks BS75720-HR Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP) red, 10 m, RJ-45, gold contacts

ShiverPeaks BS75720-HR is a 10 m Cat6 networking cable designed for reliable wired connections in home, office and data‑center environments. The cable uses S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding, combining an overall braid with individually shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends are fitted with RJ‑45 connectors featuring gold‑plated contacts to improve conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The red outer jacket makes the cable easy to identify in structured cabling installations and patch panels. The cable supports Cat6 performance for high‑speed data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction offers strong protection against external noise and pair‑to‑pair interference, improving signal integrity over the 10 m length. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts ensure stable electrical contact and reduced oxidation over time. The 10 m length provides flexibility for typical rack, desk and wall outlet connections without requiring additional patching. The red jacket provides clear visual differentiation for network runs, making maintenance and troubleshooting easier.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections in offices, homes and small server rooms
• High‑speed data transfer at Cat6 performance levels
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as IP cameras and access points
• Patch panels, network switches and wall outlets where clear cable identification is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (performance up to Cat6 standards)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 on both ends
• Contacts: gold‑plated contacts for improved corrosion resistance
• Jacket color: red for easy identification
• Suitable for PoE applications and high‑speed Ethernet

How to use

Connect each RJ‑45 plug to the corresponding Ethernet port on your network device and switch or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch snaps into place to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and exposure to strong electromagnetic sources where possible, and use cable management hardware in racks or on walls to maintain neat runs. For PoE devices, verify that the switch or injector supports the required PoE class before connecting.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with mains power lines and keep bend radius above the minimum specified for Cat6 cables. Periodically inspect gold‑plated contacts for contamination and replace the cable if connectors show physical damage or degraded performance.
