Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75711-0.5 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75711-0.5 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is designed for short-range high-speed Ethernet connections. Constructed to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding, this 0.5 metre cable reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference while maintaining Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet compatibility over short runs. The cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and features gold-plated contacts for stable signal transfer and improved corrosion resistance. Its grey jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for professional or home network setups.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil with individually foil‑shielded pairs to limit alien crosstalk and protect against EMI, delivering more consistent transmission in electrically noisy environments. The Cat6a standard supports higher frequencies than Cat6, which helps maintain bandwidth for demanding applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and reduce oxidation risk for long-term stable connections. The short 0.5 m length minimizes signal attenuation and clutter in patch bays or between closely located devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, or patch panels in racks where short runs are needed
• Linking servers and network appliances inside cabinets or small enclosures
• High-performance PC to dock or LAN port connections where minimal cable slack is desired
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference that require shielded cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Jacket color: grey
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBASE-T over short distances

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router, patch panel or network interface. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.5 m length to reduce cable clutter and maintain tidy routing inside racks, behind desks, or between closely positioned hardware. Avoid sharp bends near the connector boots and keep the cable clear of high-voltage power lines to preserve shielding effectiveness.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short interconnects where shielding provides a measurable benefit; verify that both endpoints and intermediate equipment support the desired Ethernet speed. Store and route the cable without tight coils and avoid repeated bending at the connector to prolong contact reliability.
