shiverpeaks BS75726-B Cat6a S/FTP Patch Cable, 20 m, Blue, RJ45, 10 Gbit/s, 500 MHz, Snagless, Copper

In a busy office, a network administrator needs to connect a workstation to a wall outlet 20 metres away without sacrificing speed or reliability. The shiverpeaks BS75726-B Cat6a S/FTP patch cable delivers exactly that: a robust 20-metre link capable of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, shielded to resist electromagnetic interference and built with gold-plated contacts for consistent performance.

Key specifications

• Length: 20 m
• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (S-STP) – foil around each pair plus overall braid
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, gold-plated
• Data transfer rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Conductor: stranded copper, 26 AWG
• Jacket: PVC, blue
• Wiring: TIA/EIA 568B
• Boot: snagless

Why choose it

This cable is engineered for high-density environments where crosstalk and external noise can degrade signals. The S/FTP construction – individual pair shielding plus an overall braid – provides superior protection, making it ideal for data centres, server rooms, and industrial settings. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and ensure low contact resistance over thousands of insertions. The snagless boot protects the locking tab during installation and removal, extending the cable's service life.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting servers to switches in data centres
• Linking workstations to wall outlets in offices
• Supporting 10GBASE-T networks for high-throughput applications
• Extending connections in patch panels and structured cabling

Good to know

The cable is backward compatible with Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet, so it works with existing equipment while future-proofing your infrastructure. The blue jacket aids in colour-coding network segments. It meets TIA/EIA 568B wiring standards, ensuring compatibility with standard RJ45 ports.
