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

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat.6 S/FTP 0.25 m Black is a short patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. With Cat.6 performance and S/FTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable signal quality over its 0.25 meter length. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable contact and corrosion resistance for frequent plugging cycles. The compact black jacket makes this cable suitable for tidy device connections in dense setups or behind networking equipment.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding (overall foil plus individually shielded pairs) improves immunity to external noise and minimizes pair-to-pair interference, supporting consistent Gigabit Ethernet performance. The Cat.6 specification allows for higher bandwidth and lower attenuation compared with lower-category patch cords. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs enhance contact reliability and reduce the risk of oxidation over time. Its short 0.25 m length reduces cable slack and clutter where minimal distance is required between devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting a network switch to a patch panel or wall socket at close range
• Linking devices in server racks or network cabinets where short runs are needed
• Establishing a direct connection between a modem/router and a nearby device
• Temporary test and measurement setups requiring minimal cable length

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield + individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contacts: Gold-plated
• Jacket color: Black
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet and lower speeds

How to use

Insert the gold-plated RJ-45 connector firmly into the RJ-45 port of each device until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the cable for short patching tasks between network equipment, keeping bends gentle and avoiding sharp kinks to preserve performance. For best results, route the cable away from strong power sources or large bundles of unshielded cabling that could introduce interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this short S/CONN Cat.6 S/FTP cable in environments where runs are minimal and shielding is beneficial. Avoid repeated excessive bending near the connector. If connecting devices over longer distances, choose a longer Cat.6 or higher-category cable to maintain signal integrity.
