Networking Cable S/CONN 75715-B Blue 5m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 75715-B Blue 5m Cat6a S/FTP is a 5-metre Ethernet cable engineered for high-speed wired networks. Compliant with Cat6a specifications and featuring S/FTP shielding, the cable is designed to support high data rates while reducing electromagnetic and crosstalk interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide consistent contact and resistance to corrosion, while the blue jacket offers clear visual identification in multi-cable environments.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually screened pairs to minimize external EMI and internal pair-to-pair crosstalk, improving signal integrity in congested network environments. Cat6a specification supports higher frequencies and data throughput compared with lower-category cables. Gold-plated connectors ensure durable electrical contact and help maintain stable link performance over time. The 5 m length offers flexibility for typical desk-to-switch or rack-to-device connections without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Wired local area networks (LAN) requiring Cat6a performance
• Office workstations, desktop computers and VoIP phones
• Home networks with high-bandwidth streaming and gaming
• Patch panels and structured cabling within network cabinets

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Color: Blue
• Conductor arrangement: 4 twisted pairs
• Typical application: Horizontal and patch cabling for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router, modem or PC) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a reliable link. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain separation from high-voltage power lines where possible to preserve shielding effectiveness. For patch panel installations, insert the connector into the designated RJ-45 port and secure cable management to prevent strain on the connector.

Recommendations

Use the cable within its specified length for optimal performance and avoid excessive bundling with unshielded power cables to reduce potential interference. For mission-critical or long-distance runs, verify link speeds and run certificates or testing where required to confirm compliance with Cat6a performance levels.
