ShiverPeaks 08-64002 Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF bulk data cable is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling and professional LAN installations. The cable uses S/FTP construction — foil shielding over each twisted pair combined with an overall braid — and PIMF (pairs in metal foil) pair configuration to reduce crosstalk and external interference. It supports Cat 6 performance for Ethernet networks and is intended for use in office networks, server rooms, and other data link environments where signal integrity and consistent transmission are required.
Advantages
The S/FTP shielding and PIMF pair design minimize near-end and far-end crosstalk, improving throughput and reducing packet loss in congested or electrically noisy environments. The cable is manufactured to Cat 6 category characteristics, providing controlled impedance and consistent performance up to the specified frequency range. Its construction is suitable for permanent link installations and bulk cabling runs, allowing installers to terminate and configure cables according to site requirements.
Suitable for
- Structured cabling in offices and commercial buildings
- Server rooms and rack-to-rack connections
- Ethernet networks up to Cat 6 performance (e.g., 1 Gbps)
- High-density installations where shielding is required to limit interference
Key specifications
- Category: Cat 6
- Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with foil on individual pairs)
- Pair construction: PIMF (pairs in metal foil)
- Conductor type: multi-core copper conductors (solid or as specified by manufacturer)
- Intended use: structured cabling, horizontal and backbone runs
How to use
Install the ShiverPeaks Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF cable as part of a structured cabling system following local wiring standards and practices. Route the bulk cable through cable trays, conduits, or ceilings, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Terminate the cable on appropriate Cat 6 compatible connectors, keystone jacks, or patch panels that support shielded cabling; ensure the shield is properly bonded to the grounding system to maintain shielding effectiveness. Test each installed link with a certified cable tester to verify continuity, pair integrity, and performance parameters.
Usage recommendations
For best results, pair this S/FTP PIMF cable with shielded connectors and patch cords, and maintain proper grounding and bonding throughout the network infrastructure. Adhere to recommended bend radius and installation practices, and verify performance with a Cat 6-capable certification tester after installation.
