Networking Cable S/CONN 08-26075 Black 10 m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-26075 Black 10 m Cat6a S/FTP is a 10-metre network cable engineered to meet Cat6a performance standards with S/FTP shielding. It is fitted with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts to ensure stable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The black jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for visible installations in home, office or data center cabling runs. This cable supports high-speed Ethernet connections and is designed for reduced interference and improved overall channel performance.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil with individually shielded twisted pairs to minimize crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, helping maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve conductivity and long-term reliability. The Cat6a specification allows the cable to support higher bandwidth and data rates compared with earlier categories, while the 10 m length covers typical short-run connections between network equipment in rooms or rack setups.

Suitable for

• 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet links over short to medium distances
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network interface cards
• Home office and small business network wiring
• Structured cabling in workstations, server rooms and media centers

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 10 metres
• Color: Black
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbps (depending on installation and network equipment)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of a switch, router or network device and the other end to the corresponding port on the connected device. Ensure connectors are securely seated and that cable routing avoids sharp bends and heavy compression. For optimal performance, keep the cable separated from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large power transformers, fluorescent ballast or unshielded power cables.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for runs within its length rating and pair it with compatible, shielded network equipment and properly grounded patch panels. When installing in racks or conduits, maintain bend radius recommendations and avoid kinking; test the link with a network cable tester after installation to confirm performance.
