Network Cable ShiverPeaks 75811-V Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF Crossover

Shielded Ethernet network cable ShiverPeaks 75811-V Cat 6 S/FTP PIMF Crossover is a Cat 6 patch cable engineered for Gigabit Ethernet and reliable high-speed LAN connections. The cable features overall foil shielding combined with individually foil-wrapped pairs (S/FTP) and PIMF (pairs in metal foil) construction to minimise electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. Its crossover wiring enables direct device-to-device connections without an intermediate switch for supported equipment, making it suitable for patching and short-run links in offices, data cabinets and network closets.

Advantages

The S/FTP PIMF design provides improved pair isolation and consistent signal integrity across the cable length, reducing packet loss and error rates in electrically noisy environments. As a Cat 6 cable, it supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and maintains the required performance up to the specified distances for Cat 6 applications. The crossover wiring option simplifies certain connection scenarios by allowing direct linking between compatible network devices. Shielding and robust conductor construction increase durability and reliability in professional installations.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections within office and data centre environments
• Device-to-device direct connections where crossover wiring is required
• Patching between switches, patch panels and network devices in cabinets
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference requiring shielded cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil shield with individually foil-wrapped pairs)
• Pair construction: PIMF (pairs in metal foil) for improved isolation
• Wiring: Crossover wiring for direct device-to-device links
• Intended use: Ethernet networking, patching and short LAN links

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the network interface of the first device and the other RJ45 connector to the second device or port. Ensure both devices support direct crossover connections if used without a switch; otherwise, use the cable for standard patching via switches or patch panels. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise. For rack and cabinet installations, secure the cable with appropriate organisers and maintain bend radius according to industry recommendations to preserve signal performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this S/FTP PIMF Cat 6 crossover cable for short to medium-length connections where shielding is required. Verify device compatibility for crossover wiring and prefer shielded connectors and properly grounded installation points to fully benefit from the cable's EMI protection.
