Networking Cable S/CONN 75720 Grey 10 m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 75720 Grey 10 m Cat6a S/FTP is a 10-metre Ethernet cable designed to meet Cat6a performance requirements. It uses S/FTP (S-STP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable high-speed data transmission. Each end is terminated with an RJ-45 connector featuring gold-plated contacts to support consistent signal transfer. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for home offices, server rooms, and professional installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides protection against crosstalk and external EMI, improving signal integrity for demanding network environments. Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and longer reach at frequencies up to 500 MHz compared with lower categories, enabling reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections where infrastructure permits. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts help prevent corrosion and maintain low contact resistance for sustained performance. The 10 m length offers flexibility for connecting equipment across moderate distances without additional patch panels or extensions.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in small offices and data closets
• Connecting switches, routers, NAS devices and PCs in networked environments
• Structured cabling runs where shielded cabling is recommended to reduce interference
• Audio/video streaming and professional AV installations requiring stable, high-throughput links

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Length: 10 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Color: Grey
• Frequency rating: up to 500 MHz (Cat6a standard)

How to use

Route the cable between devices ensuring bends exceed the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius and avoid tight loops or sharp kinks. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the Ethernet ports until the latch clicks to ensure proper engagement. For installations within shielded systems, make sure connector shells and patch panels are properly grounded to maintain the effectiveness of the S/FTP shielding. If using in rack or wall installations, secure the cable along its path to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for runs up to 10 m where reduced EMI and high data rates are required. For best results in environments with significant electromagnetic noise, pair the cable with grounded shielded switches or patch panels. Avoid routing alongside high-voltage power lines and keep sufficient separation from sources of interference.
