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

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat.6 S/FTP 1 m Black is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable wired network connections. It combines S/FTP shielding with twisted-pair conductors and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference. The 1 m length is convenient for connecting devices in close proximity, such as desktops, switches and routers, while the black jacket provides a neutral, unobtrusive appearance.

Advantages

S/FTP construction provides overall foil shielding plus individually shielded twisted pairs, which helps minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors improve corrosion resistance and maintain low contact resistance for consistent data transfer. The cable meets Category 6 performance parameters suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and typical office or home network demands, and the compact 1 m length reduces excess cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, laptops or VoIP phones to switches and routers
• Short runs between wall outlets and network equipment in offices or home setups
• Connecting network-attached storage (NAS) devices within a rack or desktop environment
• Temporary or permanent wired connections in multimedia stations and small server closets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil shield with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1 metre
• Colour: Black
• Suitable data rates: up to Gigabit Ethernet performance

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a switch, router or wall socket. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable; maintain gentle curves with a bend radius appropriate for Ethernet cables. If routing alongside power cables, allow some separation or use conduit to minimise potential interference despite the cable's shielding.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in environments within standard temperature and humidity ranges for electronic cabling. For permanent installations, test each link with a cable tester after installation to verify continuity, pairing and performance. Replace the cable if connectors are damaged or if sustained physical stress has compromised the jacket or shielding.
