Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75730-AG Green 30m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75730-AG Green 30m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is a 30-metre Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission in wired networks. Constructed to support Category 6a performance, the cable uses S/FTP shielding (overall braid with individually foiled pairs) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors for direct connection to routers, switches, network interface cards and other Ethernet-enabled devices. The green jacket provides a visible, colour-coded option for structured cabling and easier identification in multi-cable installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction improves signal integrity by combining a full braided shield with foiled pairs, which helps maintain stable gigabit and 10-gigabit connections over the 30 m length. Cat6a specification ensures higher bandwidth and lower alien crosstalk compared with lower-category cables. The factory-terminated RJ-45 plugs provide reliable contact and straightforward plug-and-play installation without additional termination tools. The coloured outer sheath simplifies cable management and identification in both home and office environments.

Suitable for

• 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet links within a 30 m run
• Wired home networks, small office networks and data points
• Connecting routers, switches, patch panels, servers and NAS devices
• Environments requiring reduced interference and improved signal shielding

Key specifications

• Length: 30 metres
• Category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield with individually foiled pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, factory-terminated
• Colour: Green outer jacket
• Suitable bandwidth: Up to 500 MHz (Cat6a typical performance)

How to use

Route the ShiverPeaks Cat6a cable between network devices, avoiding sharp bends and tight kinks to maintain signal performance. Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports until they click into place. For neat installations, secure the cable along walls, under desks or inside cable management channels, keeping it separated from high-voltage power lines and large electrical equipment to minimise potential interference. If connecting through patch panels or keystone jacks, ensure the panel supports Cat6a performance levels.

Recommendations

For optimal 10 Gbps performance use within the specified 30 m length and avoid running the cable parallel to mains power cables. Test connections with a network tester when deploying in critical installations and label both ends for easy identification in structured cabling systems.
