Network cable ShiverPeaks 75730-AY CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF, 4-pair, shielded Ethernet cable

ShiverPeaks 75730-AY CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF network cable is a shielded Ethernet cable engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission. The cable contains four individually foil-shielded twisted pairs and an overall braided/foil shield (S/FTP), providing enhanced protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Designed to meet requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, it is suitable for structured cabling in data centers, server rooms and office networks where consistent signal integrity is important.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP construction reduces near-end and far-end crosstalk and improves resistance to external noise sources. Individual pair foil shielding (PIMF) combined with an overall shield delivers stable performance over longer runs and in environments with multiple cables and equipment racks. The cable supports higher bandwidth and is suited to installations that require futureproofing for 10 GBASE-T and other high-throughput Ethernet applications.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• Structured cabling for office and enterprise networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as virtualization, storage networks, and high-definition media streaming
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference or dense cable bundles

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6A, suitable for 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield plus foil shield on each twisted pair / PIMF)
• Conductor configuration: 4 twisted pairs
• Typical jacket: halogen-free outer sheath (suitable for installations requiring low-smoke zero-halogen materials)
• Color: yellow
• Length: 30.0 m (available length as supplied)

How to use

Install the cable following standard structured cabling practices: route the cable to avoid excessive bends and mechanical stress, maintain separation from power lines where possible, and use appropriate cable management in racks and conduits. Terminate the cable with compatible RJ45 connectors and shielding-aware patch panels or keystone jacks to preserve the S/FTP ground continuity. Perform certification testing after installation to verify performance parameters such as crosstalk, return loss and attenuation for CAT 6A compliance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain bend radii recommended by the manufacturer, use shielded connectors and properly grounded panels, and limit exposure to sources of electromagnetic interference. Ensure testing with a CAT 6A-capable certifier to confirm 10 Gbps link performance over the installed length.
