Networking Cable S/CONN Cat. 6 Red 1 m

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat. 6 Red 1 m is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. With S/FTP (shielded foil twisted pair) construction and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this 1 m cable provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference and consistent contact quality. The red jacket offers easy visual identification in crowded cable environments while maintaining standard Cat 6 performance characteristics for Gigabit Ethernet and similar applications.

Advantages

The S/FTP Cat. 6 construction reduces crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded alternatives, improving signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance contact durability and corrosion resistance to maintain stable connections over time. The 1 m length minimizes excess cable clutter in tight installations and the colored jacket simplifies cable management and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and devices
• Patch cabling in server cabinets, wall outlets and desktop setups
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielding improves reliability
• Short point-to-point links where a compact 1 m cable is sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually foiled pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1 m
• Color: Red
• Bandwidth: up to 250 MHz (typical for Cat 6)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port on your device and the other plug to the port on the switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tight kinks; maintain gentle curves and avoid placing the cable parallel and close to power cables to reduce potential interference. For permanent installations, verify both ends are seated and test the link using a network tester or by confirming network speed and stability in the operating system.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m S/CONN Cat. 6 cable for short patch runs in racks, desktops or wall outlets where shielding and reliable connections are required. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive mechanical stress, direct sunlight or temperatures outside typical indoor operating ranges to preserve performance and connector longevity.
