Networking Cable S/CONN 08-64064 Red 7.5m Cat6 S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-64064 Red 7.5m Cat6 S/FTP is a 7.5 metre Category 6 patch cable designed for reliable wired network connections. Featuring S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this cable is built to support high-speed data transfer and to reduce electromagnetic interference in mixed-cable environments. The red jacket provides clear visual identification within racks, patch panels or desktop setups while maintaining Cat6 performance characteristics.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs, delivering improved protection against crosstalk and external EMI compared with unshielded cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance conductivity and resist corrosion, contributing to consistent signal integrity. The 7.5 m length offers a balance between reach and cable management, suitable for office workstations, network equipment interconnects and home media setups. The bright red outer sheath simplifies cable identification and organization in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels within server rooms and network closets
• Wiring workstations and desktop computers to local area networks
• Home networks, media centers and gaming setups that require stable high-speed links
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is needed (shielded installations)

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 performance standard suitable for up to 1 Gbps Ethernet and improved frequency response
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil shield plus individually shielded twisted pairs
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Length: 7.5 metres
• Cable color: red
• Application: Ethernet patch cable for structured cabling and device interconnect

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or NIC) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and prolonged compression; maintain proper bend radius and avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines when possible. For shielded installations, connect cable shields to grounded equipment or chassis to realize full EMI protection.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for links up to 7.5 m where shielding and reliable small-form-factor connections are required. For maximum performance, pair with Cat6-rated ports and keep cable runs within recommended lengths for structured cabling. In shielded environments, ensure proper grounding of the shield to minimize interference.
