Network cable ShiverPeaks 75711-H-V Cat 6 S/FTP halogen-free

ShiverPeaks 75711-H-V Cat 6 S/FTP halogen-free network cable is designed for structured cabling and high-speed Ethernet installations. The cable provides screened foil around each twisted pair combined with an overall braided shield, delivering reduced electromagnetic interference and stable signal transmission for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-data-rate networks. Halogen-free insulation lowers the risk of corrosive and toxic emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for environments where safety and air quality are important.

Advantages

This Cat 6 S/FTP cable offers pair-level foil shielding and an overall braid to minimise crosstalk and external interference, supporting reliable data throughput at gigabit speeds. The halogen-free jacket reduces smoke density and toxic gas emissions during combustion, helping to meet stricter safety requirements in office buildings, server rooms and industrial facilities. The cable construction supports consistent performance across typical Cat 6 frequency ranges and improves immunity to electromagnetic disturbances.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices and data centers
• Structured horizontal and backbone cabling
• Server rooms and telecommunications racks
• Industrial environments requiring reduced emission materials

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6 performance for high-speed Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP — screened foil on each pair with overall braided shield
• Conductor: stranded or solid copper cores suitable for patching and permanent links (verify conductor type per cable length)
• Insulation: halogen-free jacket material for lower smoke and toxic emissions
• Application: suitable for structured cabling, horizontal and backbone runs
• Compatible protocols: Gigabit Ethernet and lower-speed Ethernet standards

How to use

Install the cable following structured cabling practices: measure required lengths, route through cable trays or conduits and avoid tight bends that exceed the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Terminate the cable with compatible Cat 6 connectors or keystone jacks designed for S/FTP construction, ensuring correct foil drain or grounding for the overall braid. Test final links with a cable tester for continuity, pair mapping, and performance parameters such as attenuation and near-end crosstalk to confirm Cat 6 compliance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, separate data cables from power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference, maintain recommended bend radius during installation, and secure shielding continuity at termination points. Choose appropriate cable lengths to minimise excess slack and test each run after installation to verify Gigabit-ready performance.
