Networking Cable ShiverPeaks SP711-SL0.25Y

The ShiverPeaks SP711-SL0.25Y is a 0.25 m Cat6 networking cable with U/UTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for short-distance connections, this compact yellow cable provides stable Gigabit Ethernet performance where devices are located in close proximity. Gold-plated contacts improve signal transmission and resist corrosion, while the bright color helps with quick identification in congested cable runs.

Advantages

The cable supports Cat6 specifications for reliable high-speed data transfer in local networks and offers U/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference in typical indoor environments. Its 0.25 m length minimizes cable slack and improves cable management in tight setups. The gold-plated RJ-45 contacts deliver consistent contact quality and resist wear from repeated plug cycles. The yellow jacket provides visual distinction for organization and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Connecting networked devices positioned close together, such as switch-to-patch panel or switch-to-server ports
• Short interconnects in rack-mounted equipment with limited space
• Workstation setups where desk-mounted switches or hubs are adjacent to devices
• Temporary test benches and lab environments requiring clear cable identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 — supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds
• Length: 0.25 m
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall unshielded with individually unshielded pairs and an overall braid/screen as applicable)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Color: Yellow
• Conductor type: Twisted-pair copper

How to use

Plug an RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of each device to establish a direct network link. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Use the 0.25 m cable where minimal distance is required between devices to avoid excess slack; avoid bending the cable sharply at the connector to maintain signal integrity. Inspect connectors and cable jacket for damage before use, and replace the cable if any physical defects are present.

Recommendations

Select this short Cat6 cable when you need a neat, low-profile connection between nearby network ports. For best performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable and keep it away from high-power electrical sources to reduce potential interference.
