Networking Cable ShiverPeaks Cat.6 S/FTP 0.25m

The ShiverPeaks Cat.6 S/FTP 0.25m networking cable provides a short patch connection designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. This Cat6 cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors plated in gold to ensure consistent contact and lower signal loss. The compact 0.25 m length is suitable for close-proximity connections in dense rack environments, desktop setups, or when reducing cable clutter between nearby devices. The cable is finished in green to help with visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield and individually shielded pairs to provide improved protection against external interference and internal pair-to-pair crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer corrosion resistance and stable electrical contact for repeated insertions. The short 0.25 m length minimises excess slack and helps maintain tidy cable management. Designed to meet Cat6 performance parameters, the cable supports typical Gigabit Ethernet applications and offers robust physical durability for everyday use.

Suitable for

• Connecting nearby devices such as switches, patch panels, and network interface cards
• Short patch runs in server racks and telecommunications cabinets
• Desktop or office setups where space is limited and tidy cabling is desired
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference for stable data transfer

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold plating
• Length: 0.25 m
• Color: green
• Suitable for up to Gigabit Ethernet frequencies typical for Cat6

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on each device until the latch clicks, ensuring a secure connection. Use the cable for short-distance links between network equipment such as switches, patch panels, and computers. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and do not stretch the cable; maintain gentle curves to preserve the internal pair geometry and shielding effectiveness. For installations in racks or cabinets, route the cable alongside other short patch leads to minimize interference and maintain airflow.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.6 S/FTP cable for short runs where high signal integrity is required. Keep the cable away from strong electrical noise sources (motors, transformers) and avoid kinking. When managing multiple cables, label or color-code runs to take advantage of the green jacket for easy identification.
