Network Cable ShiverPeaks 08-62030 PIMF, data cable, twisted pair, shielded, RJ45 compatible

ShiverPeaks 08-62030 PIMF is a shielded twisted-pair data cable engineered for stable Ethernet performance in local area networks and structured cabling. Its PIMF (Pair in Metal Foil) construction surrounds each twisted pair with metal foil to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, supporting reliable connections between switches, patch panels and end devices. The cable is halogen-free and intended for installations where reduced emissions and safety are required.

Advantages

The pair-level metal foil shielding improves signal integrity and minimizes near-end and far-end crosstalk, while overall shielding enhances protection from external electromagnetic sources. The cable’s RJ45 compatibility ensures straightforward termination and interoperability with standard networking hardware. Being halogen-free reduces toxic gas emissions in case of fire and makes the cable suitable for indoor deployments with safety considerations.

Suitable for

• Ethernet LAN wiring and horizontal structured cabling
• Connections between switches, patch panels and routers
• Office and home network environments requiring reduced interference
• Installations where halogen-free materials are preferred for safety

Key specifications

• Cable type: shielded twisted pair (S/FTP) with pair-in-metal-foil (PIMF) construction
• Conductor: twisted copper pairs suitable for data transmission
• Shielding: individual pair metal foil plus overall braid/foil shielding for EMI reduction
• Compatibility: designed for termination with RJ45 connectors and standard Ethernet hardware
• Jacket: halogen-free outer sheath for reduced toxic emissions
• Color: grey
• Typical use: patching, horizontal cabling and network extensions

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the individually shielded pairs, taking care not to nick the conductors. Untwist each pair only as much as necessary for termination and fold back pair-level foil shields where required by the connector. Terminate using RJ45 connectors and follow standard wiring schemes (T568A or T568B) and proper crimping technique. Verify continuity and performance with a network tester after installation to confirm correct pair termination and shielding integrity.

Usage recommendations

Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and large sources of electromagnetic interference to maximize shielding performance. When installing in confined cable trays or conduits, avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. For optimal results in structured cabling, use compatible shielded connectors and ensure equipotential bonding of shields to maintain overall system grounding.
