Ethernet Patch Cable ShiverPeaks Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF 08-64026

ShiverPeaks Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF Ethernet patch cable model 08-64026 is a screened, pair‑individually foil‑shielded (PIMF) network cable engineered for reliable high‑speed connections. The cable supports Category 6 performance and S/FTP shielding to minimize near‑end crosstalk (NEXT) and external electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for structured cabling runs between switches, routers and workstations in offices and data centers. The cable is supplied in a compact length designed for horizontal and patch panel connections.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall braided screen with foil on each pair to provide robust protection against EMI and crosstalk, improving signal integrity over copper links. Category 6 performance ensures support for Gigabit Ethernet and other high‑bandwidth applications within specified channel distances. The patch cable design with molded connectors offers stable plug retention and reduced strain at termination points.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and patch panels in enterprise and data center racks
• Workstation to wall outlet connections in office environments
• High‑speed Ethernet links, including Gigabit Ethernet
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where additional shielding is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6 performance class suitable for Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braided screen plus foil shield on each twisted pair (pair‑individually shielded)
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, copper conductors
• Connector type: RJ45 plug to RJ45 plug, molded strain relief
• Orientation: angled to straight (one end angled, other straight) for flexible patching in tight spaces
• Color: white
• Length: 1.0 m (suitable for short patching runs)

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plugs into the corresponding ports of switches, patch panels or network devices until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it separated from strong power sources to maintain shielding effectiveness. For installations in structured cabling, use proper cable management such as horizontal managers or Velcro straps to prevent excessive tension and to preserve the cable's electrical characteristics.

Usage recommendations

Use this S/FTP Cat 6 patch cable for short interconnects where shielding is needed to reduce interference. Verify connector orientation (angled vs straight) to match patch panels or device ports and avoid bending the cable beyond the recommended radius. For permanent or longer backbone runs, consider using appropriate permanent link cabling rated for in‑wall or plenum use.
