Networking Cable S/CONN 75717-W 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 75717-W 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP is a 7.5-metre Ethernet patch cable built to Cat6a performance. It features S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity for high-speed data transmission. Both ends are fitted with RJ‑45 connectors with gold‑plated contacts to ensure reliable connectivity and low contact resistance. The white jacket provides a discreet and tidy appearance suitable for home and office environments.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding minimizes crosstalk and external interference, supporting stable connections at 10 Gbps over suitable infrastructure. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts improve durability and contact quality, while the Cat6a specification ensures enhanced bandwidth and reduced alien crosstalk compared with lower category cables. The 7.5 m length balances reach and manageability for typical patching and device-to-switch connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network printers to switches or routers
• Patch connections in small office or data cabinet setups
• High-bandwidth multimedia streaming and video conferencing
• Home networks requiring clean cable appearance and reliable performance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance class
• Length: 7.5 metres
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid plus foil on each pair)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 on both ends
• Contacts: gold‑plated contacts for improved conductivity
• Jacket colour: white
• Suitable data rate: up to 10 Gbps in compliant installations

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a switch, router or wall outlet. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Ensure connectors click fully into place for a secure connection. For structured cabling, label each end if needed and avoid excessive tension when fastening or bundling the cable.

Recommendations

For best performance maintain bend radii greater than the manufacturer’s minimum (avoid tight loops), keep the cable away from powerful electrical equipment and fluorescent lighting, and use in environments matching the intended indoor application. For runs beyond typical 7.5 m patching scenarios, consider in‑wall or conduit-rated alternatives that meet local installation codes.
