Networking Cable S/CONN 75715-R Red 5m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 75715-R Red 5m Cat6a S/FTP is a high-performance patch cable designed for demanding network environments. Meeting Cat6a specifications, this 5-meter cable provides reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance with reduced crosstalk thanks to S/FTP shielding. It is terminated with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for stable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The red jacket provides clear visual identification in racks and cable bundles while maintaining flexibility for neat routing.

Advantages

S/FTP construction—an overall braided shield with individually foil-shielded pairs—minimizes alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in crowded cable installations. Cat6a rating ensures support for higher data rates and better frequency performance compared with lower categories. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce contact resistance and enhance long-term reliability. The 5 m length covers common patching distances in server rooms, offices, and multimedia setups, and the colored jacket simplifies cable management.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• High-speed LAN connections between switches, patch panels and workstations
• Audio/video installations and professional AV racks requiring shielded cabling
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are preferred

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plug on one end of the cable to the network port of your switch, router, patch panel or device and the other end to the corresponding RJ-45 port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure connection. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and sharp edges; maintain a bend radius appropriate for Ethernet cabling to preserve electrical performance. If installing in a rack or conduit with mixed cabling types, keep shielded cables properly grounded at termination points to maintain shielding effectiveness.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for backbone and interconnect links up to 5 m where high throughput and protection against interference are required. For optimal performance, pair with shielded RJ-45 ports and maintain proper grounding for the shield. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference.
