Network Cable ShiverPeaks 75726-AY CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF, 4-pair, high-speed Ethernet

Shielded network cable ShiverPeaks 75726-AY CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF, 4-pair, high-speed Ethernet is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-frequency data transmission. The cable implements pair-wise foil shielding with an overall braid (S/FTP) and PIMF (paired insulated) construction to reduce near-end crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. It is intended for structured cabling environments such as datacenters, server rooms and high-speed LAN links and is available in a halogen-free jacket in yellow, with a length commonly stocked at 20.0 m.

Advantages

The S/FTP design combines individual pair foil shields and an overall braided shield to improve noise immunity and maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. PIMF pair insulation contributes to controlled pair geometry and consistent performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The halogen-free outer jacket reduces hazardous fumes in case of fire. The cable is suitable for permanent link and patching applications within structured cabling where reduced crosstalk and EMI are required.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in LANs and server areas
• Structured cabling backbones and horizontal runs
• Datacenter and server room connections requiring shielded cabling
• High-frequency data transmission and noise-sensitive environments

Key specifications

• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with foil on each pair)
• Pair construction: 4 pairs, PIMF (paired insulated)
• Designed for: 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-frequency signals
• Jacket: halogen-free outer sheath
• Colour: yellow
• Typical length: 20.0 m (available as a patch/assembly length)

How to use

Install the cable following standard structured cabling practices: route without sharp bends or mechanical stress, maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius, and avoid running parallel too close to unshielded power lines. Terminate with compatible CAT 6A shielded connectors and ensure proper bonding of the shield at patch panels and equipment to preserve the S/FTP protection. For patching, use appropriate RJ45 shielded patch cords and connectors rated for CAT 6A performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, verify continuity and shielding with proper testing equipment after installation, and maintain separation from high-voltage power distribution where possible. Use shielded connectors and ensure grounding at a single point to minimize ground loops.
