Networking cable ShiverPeaks S/CONN 75900-500 Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) 500 m Grey

ShiverPeaks S/CONN 75900-500 Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) 500 m Grey is a shielded Category 6 networking cable intended for structured cabling and high-speed Ethernet installations. The cable features individually foil-shielded pairs combined with an overall braided shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable wired connections in offices, data centers and residential networks. The 500 m reel and grey outer jacket allow for extended runs and integration into standard cable management systems.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) construction provides enhanced protection against external interference and improves pair-to-pair isolation compared with unshielded cables. A continuous braided outer shield ensures consistent grounding potential along the cable length, while individual pair foil shields reduce near-end crosstalk. The cable's Cat6 rating supports higher frequencies and reliable performance for Gigabit Ethernet and applications dependent on low latency and minimal packet loss. The 500 m spool minimizes joins on long runs, simplifying installation.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in office and commercial buildings
• Data center patch and horizontal distribution
• Residential wired networks and home offices
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference (near electrical equipment or machinery)

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (braided overall shield + foil on each pair)
• Conductor: multi-strand or solid copper (verify installer selection) suitable for Ethernet
• Length: 500 meters on a single reel
• Outer jacket color: grey
• Designed frequency range: up to Cat6 standardized frequencies (suitable for Gigabit Ethernet)

How to use

Install the cable following standard structured cabling practices: route the cable along designated pathways, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, and maintain recommended separation from power lines to reduce interference. For shielded cable, ensure proper termination to shielded RJ45 connectors and connect the overall braid to a reliable ground point to realize the shielding benefits. When planning long runs, use the 500 m reel to minimize splices and maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, terminate the cable with shielded connectors and use compatible shielded patch panels and switches. Test installed links with appropriate certification or validation tools to confirm Cat6 compliance, continuity, and acceptable return loss and crosstalk levels.
