Networking Cable S/CONN 75720-Y 10m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 75720-Y 10m Cat6a S/FTP is a 10-metre Ethernet patch cable designed to support high-speed data transfer in home and office networks. Constructed to Cat6a standards with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) protection and terminated with RJ-45 plugs featuring gold-plated contacts, this cable aims to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity across longer distances. Its yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in cable runs and patch panels.

Advantages

The cable's S/FTP shielding combines an overall braided screen with individual foil around each twisted pair to minimize crosstalk and external noise, supporting stable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance where Cat6a specifications are required. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve conductivity and resistance to corrosion, while the 10 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or between racks without signal repeaters. The cable's construction is intended for consistent impedance and reliable plug fit.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches, and routers within home and small office networks
• Patch panel to wall outlet or switch connections in structured cabling
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is beneficial

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance level
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braided shield plus foil around each twisted pair
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Cable jacket colour: yellow

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (such as a computer, switch, or router) and the other end into the corresponding port on the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension, and proximity to strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible. For installation in racks or through conduits, allow slack for service and avoid compressing the cable to preserve shielding and impedance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in conjunction with shielded network equipment and properly grounded infrastructure. Maintain bend radii greater than the cable diameter, avoid kinking, and keep the cable run within the stated length to preserve transmission characteristics. Regularly inspect connectors for dirt or damage and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors are compromised.
