Networking Cable S/CONN 75720-R Red 10m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 75720-R Red 10m Cat6a S/FTP is a 10-metre patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet networks. Built to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding, it supports reliable data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference in demanding wired environments. The cable terminates in RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts to maintain conductivity and resist corrosion, and the red jacket provides visual identification in structured cabling installations.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall screen with individually shielded pairs to limit crosstalk and outside interference, improving signal integrity at higher frequencies. Cat6a specification enables support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the full 10-metre length, while the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure stable contact and longer-term durability. The 10 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-desk or equipment-to-switch connections, and the colored jacket simplifies cable management in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices, server rooms, or home networks
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network devices
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where additional shielding is required
• Cable runs requiring visual identification or color-coded organization

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance for up to 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled twisted pairs)
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Jacket color: Red for easy identification
• Conductor type: Twisted pair copper conductors (solid/stranded variant depends on cable assembly)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet ports of the devices you intend to connect, such as switches, routers, servers or workstations. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. For fixed installations, use appropriate cable management accessories to support the cable and prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short- to medium-length runs up to 10 m where 10 Gbps performance and improved shielding are required. Verify that connected equipment supports the desired Ethernet speeds and avoid kinking or twisting the cable to preserve signal quality. For permanent installations, consult structured cabling guidelines and use proper strain relief and mounting hardware.
