Network Cable ShiverPeaks 08-64033 CAT 6 S/FTP PIMF, solid/stranded data cable

ShiverPeaks Network Cable 08-64033 CAT 6 S/FTP PIMF is a data cable engineered for structured cabling and reliable high-speed Ethernet connections. The cable features overall shielding with individually foil-wrapped pairs (PIMF) to minimise alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other fast LAN protocols. It is suitable for use in offices, server rooms and residential networks where stable, shielded connectivity is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF construction provides both an overall shield and individual pair foil, offering improved protection against external noise and near-end crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives. The cable is available in solid and stranded conductor versions, allowing selection for permanent horizontal cabling or patching applications. Its CAT 6 performance ensures compliance with standards for gigabit data transmission and consistent signal integrity over typical installation lengths.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and high-speed LAN connections
• Structured cabling in offices and commercial buildings
• Server room horizontal and patch cabling
• Residential wired networks requiring shielded cable
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6 performance suitable for gigabit networks
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid/foil plus individually foil-wrapped pairs (PIMF)
• Conductor types: available in solid and stranded variants for fixed installation or patching
• Impedance: industry-standard 100 Ω characteristic impedance for Ethernet
• Application: designed for horizontal cabling, patch panels and patch cords

How to use

Select the solid conductor version for permanent in-wall or rack-to-rack horizontal runs and the stranded version for patch cables connecting devices to switches. Terminate the cable with compatible shielded RJ45 connectors and ensure that shielding continuity is maintained by using shielded connectors and proper grounding at patch panels or outlets. Follow local installation standards for bend radius, separation from power cabling and cable routing to preserve signal performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, route shielded cabling away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and maintain the manufacturer-recommended bend radius. Use shielded connectors and ensure proper grounding when deploying S/FTP cables in mixed or high-noise environments. Choose solid conductors for fixed infrastructure and stranded conductors for flexible patching to match installation needs.
