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

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat.6 S/FTP 0.25 m Grey is a short patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data connections. With Cat.6 specification and S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk while maintaining signal integrity over short distances. The cable terminates in RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and minimize signal loss. Its compact 0.25 m length and neutral grey jacket make it suitable for tidy connections in dense patch panels, network switches, and workstations where space is limited.

Advantages

The S/FTP design provides both an overall braid shield and individual foil shielding for each twisted pair, offering enhanced protection against external noise sources. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors help ensure consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance. The Cat.6 rating supports higher frequency performance compared with lower-category cables, enabling stable gigabit Ethernet connections. The short 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter and signal attenuation in tightly packed networking setups.

Suitable for

• Patching between adjacent ports on switches and patch panels
• Short connections in server racks and network cabinets
• Connecting desktop workstations to nearby network outlets
• Temporary or permanent links in office and home networks where minimal cable slack is desired

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individual foil per pair)
• Connector type: RJ-45 plugs
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.25 m
• Jacket color: grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the cable for short patching runs between devices positioned closely together; avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors to maintain shielding effectiveness. If routing inside racks or behind equipment, guide the cable so it does not stress the connector ends and does not obstruct airflow in cabinets.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable length appropriate for short patching tasks and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. Ensure connector latches are fully engaged and inspect contacts periodically for dirt or damage. When used in shielded environments, verify that connected equipment provides proper grounding to take full advantage of the S/FTP shielding.
