Networking Cable S/CONN Cat.6 S/FTP 0.25 m

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat.6 S/FTP 0.25 m is a short patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections where space is limited. It uses Category 6 construction with S/FTP (shielded foil over each pair plus overall braid) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable is terminated with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The conspicuous yellow sheath helps with quick identification in patch panels and network racks.

Advantages

This Cat.6 S/FTP cable offers improved protection against external interference thanks to pair-level foil and overall braided shielding, resulting in more stable data transfer in electrically noisy environments. The gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure lower contact resistance and enhanced durability over repeated plug cycles. Its 0.25 m length minimizes excess cabling, reduces clutter, and preserves signal integrity in short-distance connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting devices within server racks and patch panels where short runs are required
• Linking switches and routers in dense network closets
• Connecting workstation desktops to nearby wall ports or patch panels

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 performance for Ethernet networking
• Shielding: S/FTP — foil shield per pair plus overall braided shield
• Length: 0.25 m (short patch cable)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket color: Yellow for easy identification
• Typical applications: Gigabit Ethernet and backward compatible with lower-speed standards

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connectors firmly into the corresponding ports on your network devices until they click. Use the 0.25 m cable to connect adjacent ports on switches, routers, patch panels or to link a nearby desktop to a wall outlet. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. When routing inside racks or cable trays, place the cable alongside other short patch leads to maintain neatness and prevent stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.6 S/FTP cable in environments where electromagnetic interference is present or where short, high-quality patch connections are needed. Ensure connectors are clean and fully seated; avoid kinking the cable and keep bend radius consistent with typical Ethernet cabling practice.
