Ethernet Patch Cable ShiverPeaks Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF, model 08-64034, (shielded, Cat6)

Shielded ShiverPeaks Ethernet patch cable Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF, model 08-64034, is engineered for reliable Gigabit network connections in environments where electromagnetic interference and crosstalk must be minimized. The cable combines pair-level foil shielding with an overall braided shield to provide enhanced signal integrity and consistent transmission performance. It is built to meet Cat6 transmission characteristics and is suitable for structured cabling, office LANs, server racks and professional installations that require protected high-speed links.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF design delivers pair-level foil and an overall braid which together reduce EMI and near-end crosstalk, improving data stability for Gigabit Ethernet. Shielding lowers susceptibility to external noise sources commonly found in server rooms and industrial or densely cabled office spaces. The cable follows Cat6 specifications to support higher frequencies and transmit data with lower error rates compared with unshielded alternatives.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in office and enterprise networks
• Server room and rack connections requiring interference protection
• Workstations and switches where Gigabit speeds are needed
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference or dense cable runs

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil per pair + overall braid)
• Conductor arrangement: Pairs in individual foil with overall braid
• Typical use: Gigabit Ethernet and structured LAN cabling
• Connector orientation: angled to straight (right-angle to straight) configuration available
• Color: red
• Length: 2.0 m

How to use

Install the shielded cable by routing it through the cable pathways or conduits used in your structured cabling system, maintaining proper bend radius to avoid signal degradation. Terminate each end into compatible shielded RJ45 ports on switches, patch panels or network devices, ensuring that the cable shield is properly grounded at patch panels or grounding points to realize full EMI protection. Avoid tight bends and heavy compression to preserve the integrity of the foil and braid.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use shielded patch panels and shielded connectors in the installation, and ensure a continuous grounding path. Verify cable routing to minimize proximity to large electrical equipment and power lines. Test links after installation to confirm Gigabit connectivity and acceptable attenuation and return loss levels.
