Network Cable ShiverPeaks 75726-Y CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF Yellow 20 m

ShiverPeaks 75726-Y CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF Yellow 20 m is a 20-metre high-performance Ethernet cable engineered for reliable data transmission at speeds up to 10 Gbps. The cable combines augmented Category 6A specifications with S/FTP shielding — an overall foil shield plus individually foil-shielded twisted pairs arranged in a Pair in Metal Foil (PIMF) configuration — to reduce alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in structured cabling environments. The bright yellow jacket makes routing and identification simple in dense cable installations such as server rooms and office racks.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding and PIMF conductor configuration provide enhanced immunity to external noise and limit pair-to-pair crosstalk, improving link stability for high-bandwidth applications. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the full 20 m length and is suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices where consistent power delivery and low signal degradation are required. The visible yellow jacket facilitates maintenance and quick visual identification of network runs without compromising flexibility for installation in cable trays and conduits.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone and horizontal runs in offices and data centres
• Server rooms, patch panels and rack-mounted network equipment
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices including IP phones, wireless access points and cameras
• Structured cabling where reduced EMI and alien crosstalk are needed
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring clear cable identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6A suitable for 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Conductor configuration: PIMF (Pair in Metal Foil)
• Length: 20 metres
• Jacket colour: yellow for easy identification
• Application: suitable for PoE and high-bandwidth network links

How to use

Terminate the cable with compatible Cat 6A modular plugs or use factory-terminated connectors matched to S/FTP construction to preserve shielding continuity. Route the cable through cable trays, conduits or underfloor paths as required, keeping separation from high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. When making connections, maintain proper shielding connection at both ends to ensure the S/FTP and PIMF benefits are effective. Test each run with a Cat 6A-capable certifier or cable tester to verify continuity, pair integrity and performance up to 10 Gbps.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force during installation; follow standard bend radius guidelines and use appropriate strain relief. Use the yellow jacket as part of a colour-coded cabling scheme to simplify maintenance and reduce downtime in multi-cable installations.
