Network cable ShiverPeaks 75711-A0.25S Cat 6A S/FTP PIMF, 4-pair, shielded

ShiverPeaks 75711-A0.25S Cat 6A S/FTP PIMF, 4-pair, shielded is a short-length network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet and 10 Gigabit applications. The cable features four individually foil-shielded twisted pairs plus an overall braided shield (S/FTP PIMF) to suppress alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Constructed for structured cabling in server rooms, data centers, industrial and office environments, this halogen-free cable supports reliable high-frequency transmission over short patch connections.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF construction provides enhanced near-end and far-end crosstalk protection and superior immunity to external electromagnetic disturbances compared with unshielded or overall-only shielded cables. Its Cat 6A specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance where increased bandwidth and signal integrity are required. The cable's halogen-free jacket reduces toxic gas emission in case of fire, and the short 0.25 m length is suitable for patching between equipment in rack installations, reducing excess cable management and insertion loss.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server racks and network cabinets
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in structured cabling environments
• Connections in environments with high electromagnetic interference
• Industrial and office installations requiring shielded cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil around each pair, PIMF)
• Pairs: 4 twisted pairs, individually shielded
• Length: 0.25 m (short patch cable)
• Jacket: halogen-free outer sheath
• Color: black

How to use

Use this cable as a patch lead between switches, patch panels and active equipment inside racks and cabinets. Ensure connectors are fully inserted into RJ45 ports and routed to avoid sharp bends; maintain recommended bend radius to preserve signal integrity. For shielded installations, connect cable shields to system grounding at termination points according to your site's grounding scheme to ensure effective EMI protection.

Usage recommendations

For best performance in 10 Gigabit applications, keep patch lengths minimal and avoid tying multiple cables together with tight wraps. Verify that connected devices and patch panels support Cat 6A S/FTP cabling and that grounding is implemented where required to realize full shielding benefits.
