S/CONN 5m RJ45 Networking Cable Yellow Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN 5m RJ45 Networking Cable Yellow Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) is a 5-metre Cat6 patch cable designed for reliable wired network connections. It features S/FTP (screened foil twisted pair) shielding and gold-plated RJ45 connectors to help reduce electromagnetic interference and ensure stable high-speed data transfer between network devices. The cable is halogen-free and terminated with standard 8/8 RJ45 plugs for straightforward use with routers, switches, network cards and other Ethernet-enabled equipment.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP construction provides both overall shielding and individual pair foil shielding, improving protection against crosstalk and external interference in congested or industrial environments. Gold-plated contacts ensure consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability. Its Cat6 specification supports higher bandwidths and more reliable gigabit connections compared with older cable categories. The bright yellow jacket improves visibility and makes cable routing and identification easier in patch panels and office installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, servers and network switches in home and office networks
• Wiring patch panels and structured cabling runs in small to medium local area networks
• Environments where reduced interference and improved signal integrity are required
• Temporary or permanent installations that benefit from high-visibility cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Length: 5 metres
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individual pair foil)
• Conductors: Twisted pairs, suitable for Ethernet data transmission
• Connectors: RJ45 plug to RJ45 plug, 8/8 contacts, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: Halogen-free, yellow outer sheath for easy identification
• Typical use: Supports gigabit Ethernet and other Ethernet standards compatible with Cat6

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device (router, switch, computer or modem) and insert the other connector into the target device. Ensure both connectors click into place for a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference, and use cable ties or cable management accessories if installing multiple runs or placing the cable in a patch panel. For best performance, maintain appropriate separation from power cables and comply with local installation standards for structured cabling.

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, avoid tight coils and sharp kinks; maintain the cable’s bend radius. Use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for gigabit and multi-gigabit links within the supported distance limits for copper Ethernet. When installing in mixed-cable environments, keep shielded network cables grounded at one point to preserve the effectiveness of the S/FTP shielding.
