Networking Cable ShiverPeaks Cat6 S/FTP 10m

The ShiverPeaks Cat6 S/FTP 10m networking cable provides a reliable physical connection for high-speed data transmission. This 10-meter cable uses Cat6 specification and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over longer runs. Fitted with RJ-45 plugs featuring gold-plated contacts, the cable is designed to ensure consistent conductivity and low contact resistance. Its green jacket offers clear visual identification in multi-cable installations and a compact, flexible construction that suits both permanent and temporary setups.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding (overall foil with individually screened pairs) improves protection against crosstalk and external interference compared to unshielded cables, supporting stable throughput in congested network environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts help maintain reliable connections and resist oxidation over time. The 10 m length balances reach and manageability for home and office wiring, while the Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet and most common high-speed network applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and networked devices within homes and small offices
• Cable runs between patch panels and wall outlets in structured cabling
• High-bandwidth applications such as streaming, online gaming and large file transfers
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 performance class suitable for Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 10 metres
• Connectors: RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts
• Conductor: stranded or solid copper core suitable for flexible installation (check installer preference)
• Outer jacket: flexible PVC in green for easy identification

How to use

Route the cable between network devices avoiding tight bends and sharp edges. Insert RJ-45 connectors fully into device ports until the clip snaps into place to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For structured installations, measure required lengths and use cable management accessories such as clips or ties to prevent strain on connectors. When connecting to patch panels or keystone jacks, verify pinout compatibility (T568A/T568B) with existing infrastructure to maintain proper network signalling.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power cables for long distances and keep separation from large electrical equipment. Test connections with a network tester after installation to confirm continuity and correct wiring. If installing in permanent walls or conduits, verify local building codes and use appropriate cable types if additional fire or plenum ratings are required.
