networking cable ShiverPeaks BS75711-0.5R

The ShiverPeaks BS75711-0.5R is a 0.5 m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable designed for high-speed data transmission between networked devices. With shielded twisted pairs and RJ-45 connectors at both ends, the cable provides reliable physical connectivity for desktop workstations, network switches, routers and patch panels. It supports multi-gigabit throughput and is backward compatible with older Ethernet standards, making it suitable for modern home and office networks that require reduced electromagnetic interference and consistent signal quality.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP (S-STP) construction minimises crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity for high-frequency transmissions. At 0.5 m length, the cable offers a compact, low-latency connection ideal for short runs between closely positioned equipment. Durable RJ-45 connectors ensure secure mating and long-lasting mechanical stability, while Cat6a specification supports up to 10 Gbps performance under appropriate network conditions.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer or laptop to a nearby switch or router
• Patch panel to switch connections in small racks or wall-mounted setups
• Short links between networked AV equipment and media players
• High-speed connections in home offices and small business workplaces

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum supported speed: up to 10 Gbps (depending on network hardware and environment)
• Designed to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m cable for short, direct connections to minimise excess slack and potential signal reflections. Ensure both devices support the desired network speeds and that patch panels or switches are properly configured. Avoid sharp bends near the connector boots and maintain gentle cable routing to preserve shielding and internal pair integrity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded environments or where EMI is a concern. When connecting equipment in racks, route the cable to avoid interference from power lines and keep connections short for the lowest latency. Verify switch and NIC settings to enable multi-gigabit operation when required.
