Networking Cable S/CONN Cat.6 S/FTP 1 m

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat.6 S/FTP 1 m is a one-meter Ethernet patch cable built to support Gigabit and higher-speed local area network connections. The cable uses S/FTP (screened foil twisted pair) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and it is terminated with RJ‑45 connectors plated in gold to improve contact reliability and signal transfer. The blue jacket provides clear visual identification in structured cabling installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding offers improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The Cat.6 specification supports higher data rates and tighter twist tolerances than earlier categories, which contributes to stable throughput for wired devices. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts reduce oxidation and improve long-term conductivity. The one-meter length is suitable for short runs between devices, patch panels, and switches where minimal slack is preferred.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops, or workstations to switches or routers over short distances
• Patch connections in network racks and wall outlets
• Home and small office wired networking where interference protection is needed
• Linking media devices such as smart TVs and streaming boxes to wired networks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall braid with foil on each pair)
• Length: 1 m
• Connector type: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Contact plating: gold‑plated contacts
• Color: blue
• Typical use: short patch connections for Ethernet networks

How to use

Insert the RJ‑45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port on your device until it clicks. Ensure both ends are fully seated to prevent intermittent connections. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and to minimize exposure to sources of electromagnetic interference such as power transformers or heavy electrical equipment. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.6 S/FTP cable for runs up to the recommended length for your network architecture, avoid kinking or over‑bending the cable, and pair it with compatible shielded network components (shielded jacks and patch panels) when deploying in environments with significant EMI. Test connections with a network tester to verify continuity and performance after installation.
