Ethernet patch cable ShiverPeaks 75712-AY CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF, bulk length not specified

ShiverPeaks 75712-AY CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF Ethernet patch cable is designed for 10 Gbps networks and high-frequency performance. The cable features screened foil twisted pairs with pair-wise metalized insulation (PIMF) to reduce alien crosstalk and increase protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Intended for structured cabling and high-speed LAN links, this halogen-free cable meets CAT 6A implementation expectations and is suitable for use in data centers, server rooms and professional network installations where enhanced shielding is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides individual foil shielding for each pair plus an overall braid or screen, improving resistance to external interference and reducing pair-to-pair crosstalk. Pair-wise metalized insulation (PIMF) further stabilizes the transmission characteristics at higher frequencies, helping to maintain 10 Gbps throughput over typical CAT 6A channel lengths. The halogen-free jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire and the cable is designed for professional termination and reliable long-term operation.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Structured building cabling and backbone connections
• High-density LAN installations requiring enhanced shielding
• Applications sensitive to electromagnetic interference (industrial or medical environments)

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6A (supports 10 Gbps Ethernet)
• Shielding: S/FTP with pair-wise metalized insulation (PIMF)
• Conductor type: twisted pairs suitable for high-frequency transmission
• Jacket: halogen-free construction for reduced hazardous emissions

How to use

Use the ShiverPeaks CAT 6A S/FTP cable as a patch lead between compliant network ports, switches, patch panels and servers. Ensure connectors and terminations are compatible with CAT 6A and S/FTP shielding: maintain correct grounding of the shield at patch panels or equipment chassis according to installation standards. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force during installation to preserve pair geometry and shielding integrity. When cutting to length or terminating in the field, follow certified practices and use appropriate tools for shielded cable termination.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, combine this CAT 6A S/FTP cable with CAT 6A‑rated connectors and properly grounded patch panels. Keep cable runs separated from strong electrical sources and maintain bend radii recommended for CAT 6A to ensure reliable 10 Gbps operation.
