S/CONN Cat 6 S/FTP 2m networking cable Black

The S/CONN Cat 6 S/FTP 2m networking cable Black by ShiverPeaks is a Category 6 patch cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and office networks. The cable uses S/FTP shielding (shielded overall with individually foil‑shielded pairs) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable high-speed data transmission over a 2 meter length. Each end is fitted with an RJ‑45 connector plated with gold to improve contact quality and resist corrosion, providing consistent performance for Ethernet devices.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction enhances signal integrity in environments with potential interference from nearby electrical equipment or multiple network cables. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 connectors offer durable, low‑resistance contacts that maintain connection quality over repeated plug cycles. The 2 m length balances reach and cable management for typical desk-to-switch or wall‑socket installations. The Cat 6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet and improved margin for higher data rates in short runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops, and network printers to switches or routers
• Wired connections for home offices, small business networks, and workstations
• Use in mixed cabling environments where shielding reduces interference
• Temporary or permanent patching between wall ports and network equipment

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield plus individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 with gold plating
• Length: 2 meters
• Color: Black
• Supports: Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE‑T) and PoE applications within Cat 6 limits

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the switch, router, or wall socket. Ensure connectors click firmly into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain gentle curves and avoid kinking. For installations near strong sources of electromagnetic interference, align shielded connectors with compatible shielded ports or use shielded patch panels to preserve the shielding continuity.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power lines; limit bending radius to manufacturer guidelines and replace the cable if connector contacts appear worn or corroded. Use shielded ports and grounding where available to maximize the benefit of the S/FTP design.
