Networking Cable S/CONN 08-26065 Black 7.5 m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-26065 Black 7.5 m Cat6a S/FTP is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for stable, high-speed network connections. Compliant with the Cat6a performance class, the cable supports frequencies and throughput suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium distances. S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The 7.5 m black jacket offers a flexible length for home, office, or data cabinet installations where a moderate reach is required.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP structure combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to maximize protection against external noise and pair-to-pair interference. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve conductivity and long-term signal integrity. The Cat6a specification ensures higher bandwidth than Cat5e or Cat6 in environments requiring 10 Gbps operation. A 7.5 m length balances reach and signal quality for typical workstation and networking equipment placements, and the black outer jacket offers discreet integration into most interiors.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops, switches and routers in home or office networks
• High-speed data transfers and local server connections where 10 Gigabit capability is needed
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference (near power supplies, fluorescent lights, or other cabling)
• Cable runs between wall outlets, patch panels and network devices within small to medium-sized rooms

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance class
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 7.5 meters
• Color: Black
• Impedance: 100 Ω (nominal, typical for twisted-pair Ethernet)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps over suitable distances
• Frequency rating: up to 500 MHz

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to a network device such as a switch, router, modem or network interface on a PC, and the other plug to the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends, sharp kinks or running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended lengths. Where multiple cables are routed together, maintain gentle separation to minimize mutual interference. Verify link status indicators on devices after connection to confirm network negotiation and speed.

Recommendations

For consistent 10 Gbps performance, keep the total channel length within recommended limits for Cat6a installations and use properly rated patch panels and keystone jacks. In noisy environments, prefer shielded ports and ensure proper grounding of the network equipment and cable shields. When installing in permanent infrastructure or conduits, check bend radius specifications and avoid compressive forces that could damage the internal shielding.
