Networking Cable S/CONN 75725-Y Yellow 15m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 75725-Y Yellow 15m Cat6a S/FTP is a 15-metre Ethernet patch cable designed to support high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and networked environments. Built to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding and terminated with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this cable is intended for applications requiring stable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over short to medium runs. The yellow jacket provides easy visual identification in cable bundles and patch panels.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6a specification enables reliable transmission at higher frequencies and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables. S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction offers improved protection against electromagnetic interference and near-end crosstalk, which is beneficial in dense or electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors deliver consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance for long-term signal integrity. The 15 m length covers many in-room and between-rack connection needs without introducing unnecessary slack.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in server rooms, workstations, and switch-to-switch connections
• High-density office or data centre patching where shielding reduces interference
• Audio-visual equipment connections and streaming requiring stable, high-bandwidth links
• Temporary or permanent cabling runs where color-coded identification is useful

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance standard
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually foiled twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 15 metres
• Cable jacket colour: Yellow
• Supports: Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications over recommended distances

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 connectors to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices such as switches, routers, servers, or workstations. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages to maintain reliable contact. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension, or proximity to high-voltage power lines to preserve shielding effectiveness and signal integrity. For patch panel or keystone termination, use the cable between pre-terminated ports and devices rather than re-terminating the factory ends.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded or grounded environments where possible; verify that connected equipment supports 10 Gigabit speeds if such throughput is required. Avoid excessively tight cable ties and maintain bend radius consistent with manufacturer guidelines to prevent degradation. Use colour-coded cables to simplify network organisation and troubleshooting.
