Network cable ShiverPeaks 75713-A CAT 6A S/FTP Halogen Free, 3.0m

The ShiverPeaks 75713-A CAT 6A S/FTP network patch cable is a 3.0 m halogen-free cable designed for shielded high-speed Ethernet connections. Its S/FTP (shielded with foil around each twisted pair and overall braid) construction reduces electromagnetic interference and supports reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet links for office, data center and home network environments.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP design offers enhanced protection against crosstalk and external interference, contributing to stable data transmission at higher frequencies required by CAT 6A. Halogen-free materials reduce harmful emissions in case of fire and the 3.0 m length provides flexibility for typical rack-to-desk or equipment-to-switch connections.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices and data centers
• Shielded home network installations where interference is a concern
• Connecting switches, patch panels and network devices within short to medium cable runs

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for shielded installations; it may be unnecessary for simple, short-distance home setups that do not suffer from electromagnetic interference. For runs significantly longer than 3.0 m, a longer cable or in-wall rated cabling may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with foil on each twisted pair)
• Length: 3.0 m
• Material: halogen-free jacket
• Bandwidth: suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into your network device (switch, router, patch panel) and the other end into the corresponding port of the connected device. Ensure that both ends and the connected equipment support shielded cabling to maintain the shielding continuity. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling to preserve cable performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether your environment requires shielded cabling to reduce interference
• The 3.0 m length is sufficient for your planned connection route
• Compatibility of connected equipment with shielded network cables

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT 6A S/FTP cable in shielded network infrastructures and keep cable bends above the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius; pair with shielded connectors and grounded patch panels when possible.
