Networking Cable S/CONN 75717-R Red 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 75717-R Red 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP is a 7.5-metre Ethernet patch cable built to Cat6a performance with S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. It comes terminated with RJ-45 plugs featuring gold-plated contacts to support reliable, low-loss data transmission across local area networks. The cable’s red jacket provides visible identification in structured cabling and makes it easier to trace connections in patch panels and server racks.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall braid with individually foiled pairs to improve immunity to external noise and minimise crosstalk, which supports consistent Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance where the installation environment may contain other electrical sources. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance corrosion resistance and ensure stable signal transfer over time. The 7.5 m length balances reach and signal integrity for equipment spread across typical office and home layouts, while the coloured jacket aids in cable management and quick identification.

Suitable for

• Wired LAN connections between switches, routers and workstations
• Patch panels and server rack interconnects in small to medium network closets
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and high-bandwidth applications within the specified channel length
• Home office setups where visible cable identification or colour-coding is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 plugs
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Jacket colour: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your switch, router or network device and the other plug to the corresponding device or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain gentle bend radii and use cable ties or Velcro straps to keep runs tidy without compressing the cable jacket.

Recommendations

For consistent performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable within structured cabling limits and avoid exceeding the combined channel length specified by your network equipment. Keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and large electrical motors; when installing in dense rack environments, label both ends for easy identification and use colour-coded cables to simplify maintenance.
