Networking Cable S/CONN 75725-HY 15m Cat6 S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 75725-HY 15m Cat6 S/FTP is a 15-meter Cat6 patch cable designed for structured cabling and point-to-point network connections. It features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to provide consistent electrical contact. The cable’s yellow jacket improves visibility in wiring closets and workspaces while supporting Gigabit Ethernet and typical Cat6 performance parameters for data transmission.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall shield with individually foil-shielded pairs to improve noise rejection in environments with nearby power lines or dense cabling. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs help maintain low contact resistance and reduce corrosion risk over time. At 15 meters, the cable offers a balance between reach and signal integrity for standard LAN runs, and the yellow outer sheath makes identification easier during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections in home and small office networks
• Patch panels and network switches in wiring closets
• Temporary or permanent horizontal cabling runs where visible cable identification is useful
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal stability

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 compliant cable suitable for up to Gigabit speeds
• Length: 15 meters
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braided/foil shield plus individually foil-shielded pairs
• Connectors: RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket color: Yellow for high visibility
• Conductor type: Twisted pair copper conductors optimized for Cat6 performance

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router, computer) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the opposite device or patch panel. Avoid tight bends and kinks along the 15 m run to preserve signal quality; maintain a bend radius consistent with cable category recommendations. When routing the cable near sources of strong electromagnetic interference, use the shielded connectors and ensure proper grounding of the network equipment and patch panels to realize the benefits of S/FTP shielding.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for runs up to 15 meters within the same floor and connect to compatible Cat6-rated hardware. Inspect connectors before installation and avoid repeated plugging cycles that can wear contacts. Ensure proper cable management with labeling and secure routing to leverage the visibility of the yellow jacket and simplify future maintenance.
