Networking Cable ShiverPeaks Cat6 S/FTP 0.25m

The ShiverPeaks Cat6 S/FTP 0.25m networking cable is a short, high-performance patch cable designed for reliable connections in compact setups. With Category 6 specification and S/FTP shielding, this cable supports high-speed data transfer while limiting electromagnetic interference. The cable comes with RJ-45 connectors plated in gold to ensure stable contact and good conductivity. Its 0.25 m length and red jacket make it suitable for dense network racks, patch panels, and short-distance linking between devices where a compact, visible cable is preferred.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding (screened overall with individually foil-shielded pairs) reduces crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity in crowded cabling environments. The Cat6 performance supports higher bandwidths and improved data rates compared with earlier categories. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer corrosion resistance and consistent electrical contact. The short 0.25 m length minimizes excess cable bulk and helps keep installations neat. The distinct red color simplifies cable identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices over short distances in server racks and patch panels
• Linking switches, routers, and network appliances in dense setups
• Temporary connections in test benches and laboratory environments
• Desktop or home office setups where visible, short cable runs are needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6 S/FTP (overall braid/shield with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity
• Jacket color: Red
• Application: Ethernet networking up to Cat6 performance levels

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until you hear a click, ensuring proper orientation of the latch. Use the 0.25 m cable to create tidy short links between adjacent ports in racks, switches, routers, or patch panels. Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable and keep the connectors free from dust and debris to maintain a reliable connection. When disconnecting, press the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the plug or jack.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable where short, shielded connections are required and pair it with shielded ports or equipment to maintain the full benefit of the shielding. Avoid routing the cable near high-power electrical lines or sources of strong EMI, and ensure connector jacks are compatible with shielded cable usage if grounding is necessary.
