Networking Cable ShiverPeaks Cat.6 S/FTP 0.25m

The ShiverPeaks Cat.6 S/FTP 0.25m networking cable is a short patch cord designed for high-speed data connections in compact setups. This 0.25 meter cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and comes with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts to promote consistent signal transmission. The cable's yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in patch panels and cabling runs while meeting Cat6 performance parameters for reliable network links.

Advantages

The cable's S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to improve immunity against external noise and pair-to-pair interference. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs minimize oxidation and support stable electrical contact over repeated insertions. Its short 0.25 m length reduces excess slack in congested racks and desk areas, improving cable management and maintaining signal integrity for short links.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and servers in dense rack spaces
• Short connections between network devices on the same desk or cabinet
• Structured cabling where color-coded identification is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference that require shielded cabling

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 performance class
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil shield with individually shielded twisted pairs
• Length: 0.25 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45 plugs
• Contact finish: Gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Jacket color: Yellow for visual identification
• Typical applications: Ethernet data communication up to Cat6 frequencies

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of the source device (for example a switch, router, or network card) and the other plug to the destination device. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted and the latching clip engages to secure the connection. Use the 0.25 m length for short patching runs where minimal excess cable is preferred. Inspect the connectors and cable jacket for visible damage before use and avoid sharp bends near the plugs to maintain signal performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use this shielded cable in installations where grounding and proper shield termination are implemented. Avoid running the cable in parallel with unshielded power lines over long distances; keep bend radius within manufacturer-recommended limits and replace the cable if the connectors or jacket are damaged.
