S/CONN 20m RJ45 networking cable Red Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) 75726-HR

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN 20m RJ45 networking cable Red Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) provides a 20-metre Cat6 patch cable designed for structured cabling and point-to-point connections. The cable uses S/FTP (overall screen with individually shielded pairs) construction and PIMF (paired in metal foil) to reduce crosstalk and preserve signal integrity across gigabit Ethernet links. Halogen-free materials and gold-plated RJ45 connectors are combined with a red, easily identifiable jacket for reliable physical performance and simple cable management.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding and PIMF pair-level foil improve electromagnetic compatibility and minimise interference in environments with multiple network cables or nearby electrical equipment. Cat6 specification supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and offers headroom for stable Gigabit Ethernet connections. Gold-plated contacts provide improved contact reliability and corrosion resistance, while the halogen-free jacket reduces hazardous emissions in the event of fire. The 20 m length covers longer runs between patch panels, switches and workstations without additional couplers.

Suitable for

• Wired gigabit Ethernet connections in offices, server rooms and home networks
• Patch panels and switch-to-switch uplinks where shielded cabling is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring a visible, colour-coded cable

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 patch cable (performance for Gigabit Ethernet)
• Length: 20 metres
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid/foil plus individually shielded pairs, PIMF construction)
• Conductor: Twisted pairs suitable for Cat6 signalling
• Connectors: RJ45 plugs 8/8 with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: Halogen-free outer sheath
• Colour: Red for easy identification

How to use

Uncoil the cable gently to avoid kinks and route it along cable trays or underfloor channels as required. Insert one RJ45 plug into the network device or switch port and the other RJ45 plug into the patch panel, wall outlet or end device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. When installing longer runs, avoid tight bends and keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines to maintain shielding effectiveness and signal quality.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable in shielded network topologies and terminate both ends on compatible shielded RJ45 ports or panels. Maintain bend radius recommendations (avoid sharp bends) and secure the cable with non-compressive ties. Periodically inspect connectors for dust or damage and replace the cable if the jacket or shielding is compromised.
