ShiverPeaks S/CONN Cat. 6A S/FTP Patch Cable, 15m, Black, Flexible

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN Cat. 6A S/FTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for reliable, high-speed data transmission. Measuring 15 meters in length, this cable provides the necessary reach for complex office or home network configurations while maintaining signal integrity. Its flexible construction allows for easy routing through cable ducts, behind furniture, or within server racks, making it a versatile choice for demanding IT environments.

Advantages

This patch cable features advanced S/FTP shielding, which provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable performance even in environments with high cable density. The Cat. 6A standard supports data transfer rates of up to 10 Gigabits per second, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications. Its flexible design simplifies installation in tight spaces, reducing the risk of cable damage and ensuring a long service life for your network infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Professional office network installations
• Connecting servers and network switches
• High-speed home office setups
• Data centers requiring reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use where it would be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperature fluctuations, as it lacks a weather-resistant outer jacket. Additionally, for very short connections, a 15-meter cable may result in excess slack that could clutter your workspace.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat. 6A
• Shielding type: S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair)
• Length: 15 meters
• Color: Black
• Data transmission speed: Up to 10 Gbps
• Flexibility: High

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on your networking devices, such as routers, switches, or computers, until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles to maintain optimal signal quality. When routing the cable, avoid placing it near power lines to prevent potential interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to avoid excessive cable slack
• Ensure your network hardware supports Cat. 6A standards for maximum speed
• Check if your installation environment requires fire-rated or plenum-rated cabling

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable or using cable ties that are too restrictive, as this can deform the internal twisted pairs and degrade signal quality over time.
