S/CONN 1m RJ45 networking cable Red Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The S/CONN 1m RJ45 networking cable Red Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) by ShiverPeaks is a 1-metre Cat6 patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. It features S/FTP (S-STP) shielding with overall braid and individually shielded pairs (PIMF) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable is halogen-free and comes with gold-plated RJ45 plugs (8/8) on both ends for reliable contact and corrosion resistance. Its red jacket provides easy visual identification in structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet performance and improved transmission characteristics compared with lower-category cables. S/FTP shielding and PIMF construction enhance signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic interference, while gold-plated contacts ensure consistent connectivity and reduced contact resistance. The halogen-free outer jacket improves safety in the event of fire by limiting toxic gas emissions and smoke.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home or office networks
• Patch panels and rack installations requiring color-coded cabling
• Environments with higher EMI where shielded cables are recommended
• Short runs between network devices where a 1 m cable length is needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 patch cable
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs, PIMF)
• Connectors: RJ45 plug 8/8 on both ends, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1 metre
• Jacket: halogen-free outer sheath
• Color: red

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the Ethernet port of a network device and the other plug to the corresponding port on a switch, router, modem or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure a reliable connection. For rack or patch-panel use, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and minimize stress on the connectors; maintain bend radii recommended for Cat6 cables to preserve signal quality.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for short interconnects where shielded performance is needed. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines; if grounding is required for shields in your installation, follow local grounding practices. For permanent horizontal cabling or longer runs, consider selecting appropriate cable lengths and installation-grade cabling designed for fixed infrastructure.
