Networking Cable S/CONN 75711 Grey 1m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 75711 Grey 1m Cat6a S/FTP is a 1-metre patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Compliant with the Cat6a standard and equipped with S/FTP shielding, this cable supports reliable data transmission with reduced external interference. The RJ-45 connectors are gold-plated to maintain consistent contact and minimize signal loss, while the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance for residential or commercial installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to lower crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, which helps preserve signal integrity at higher frequencies. The Cat6a specification allows for improved bandwidth and reduced alien crosstalk compared with lower-category cables, making the cable suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet at shorter distances. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer better corrosion resistance and stable connectivity over repeated plugging cycles. The 1-metre length provides a compact option for patch panels, switch-to-switch connections, or tidy desktop setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches, patch panels and routers in data cabinets and server rooms
• Short runs between wall ports and desktop equipment in office environments
• Home network connections for high-definition streaming and online gaming
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal quality

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a — suitable for high-frequency Ethernet applications
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil shield plus individually shielded pairs
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1 metre
• Color: Grey jacket for neutral aesthetic integration

How to use

Plug the gold-plated RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the corresponding port on your network switch, router, or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain a minimum bend radius to preserve internal pair geometry. For rack or cabinet installations, secure excess length with cable ties or Velcro straps to prevent connector stress.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short, high-performance links where interference reduction and stable 10 Gbps-capable connections are required. Avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to mains power lines to minimize potential EMI. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and replace the cable if contact corrosion or physical damage is observed.
