Network Cable ShiverPeaks 08-64054 Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF, bulk data cable for Ethernet

ShiverPeaks Network Cable 08-64054 Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF is a bulk Ethernet data cable engineered for structured cabling installations where consistent Gigabit performance and electromagnetic interference protection are required. The cable implements Category 6 transmission characteristics with an overall braided shield combined with individually foil-wrapped pairs (S/FTP PIMF), providing improved signal integrity and reduced alien crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives. It is intended for permanent horizontal and backbone cabling in office, data center, and residential networks.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction offers superior protection against external electromagnetic interference and inter-pair noise, which helps maintain stable data throughput for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed protocols. Category 6 design supports higher frequency operation and stricter pair-to-pair performance limits than lower categories, enabling reliable LAN connectivity. The bulk cable format allows flexible length selection for custom runs and professional termination to shielded connectors or patch panels.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet LAN installations in offices and data centers
• Structured horizontal cabling for commercial and residential buildings
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is required
• Custom-length runs and professional installations using shielded connectors and patch panels

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6 (Cat 6)
• Shielding type: Overall braided shield with individually foil-wrapped pairs (S/FTP, PIMF)
• Conductor arrangement: Four twisted pairs
• Intended use: Bulk data cable for permanent installations and patching infrastructure
• Performance: Designed for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission consistent with Cat 6 parameters

How to use

Measure and cut the required cable length for the installation route, leaving service loops where appropriate. Strip outer sheath and prepare individually shielded pairs for termination, taking care to maintain pair twists to the termination point and to preserve shielding continuity. Use compatible shielded RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or shielded patch panels and ensure proper grounding of the cable shield at a single point in the installation. Test each link with a certified cable tester to verify pair continuity, wire map, and performance parameters.

Usage recommendations

Use this S/FTP PIMF Cat 6 bulk cable in installations where shielded cabling and reliable Gigabit performance are required. Pair with shielded connectors and properly grounded patching hardware, avoid tight bends and mechanical stress, and validate every run with a professional tester to ensure compliance with installation standards.
