Networking Cable S/CONN Cat 6 S/FTP 10m

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat 6 S/FTP 10m is a 10-meter Class E (Cat 6) patch cable designed for wired data connections in home and office environments. The cable uses S/FTP (shielded foil twisted pair with overall braid) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and is terminated with RJ-45 plugs featuring gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer. The white jacket provides a neutral aesthetic while the cable's specifications support high-speed Ethernet applications up to Gigabit and beyond within standard lengths.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding offers improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity in environments with multiple electronic devices. The RJ-45 connectors with gold plating provide corrosion resistance and stable conductivity over time. The 10 m length accommodates flexible routing between network devices without the need for extensions or couplers. The Cat 6 construction supports higher bandwidth and reduced pair-to-pair crosstalk versus lower category cables.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections for desktops, laptops, and network switches
• Home and small office networks requiring reliable Gigabit performance
• Connecting routers, modems, NAS devices and smart home hubs
• Temporary or permanent cable runs where EMI protection is beneficial

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (router, switch or computer) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension, or close parallel runs with power cables to minimize interference. If installing in structured cabling, follow local installation standards and maintain appropriate bend radius and support intervals.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid routing the cable alongside mains power cables for long distances and maintain the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius. Use the cable within indoor environments and protected conduits; if outdoor or direct-burial installation is required, select a cable rated for those conditions. Periodically inspect connectors for wear and clean contacts if connection quality degrades.
