Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75711-HY-SET-10 Yellow 1m Cat6 S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75711-HY-SET-10 Yellow 1m Cat6 S/FTP is a 1-metre patch cable designed for Ethernet networks that require Cat6 performance and improved electromagnetic protection. The cable uses S/FTP shielding (overall braided shield plus individually foil‑shielded pairs) to reduce crosstalk and external interference. Factory-terminated with gold-plated RJ-45 plugs, the cable aims to provide stable connections and consistent signal transfer for desktop, rack, and wall‑mounted network equipment. The high-visibility yellow jacket helps with cable identification and routing in patch panels and structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity at higher data rates. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors promote reliable contact and corrosion resistance, which supports long-term connectivity. The 1 m length is practical for short patching runs between network devices, while the yellow jacket simplifies visual management of network links and cable organization.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Short patch connections between switches, routers, patch panels and servers in office racks
• Desktop networking where clear cable identification is needed
• Structured cabling segments requiring Cat6 performance and reduced EMI
• Home lab and small data center environments with moderate cable density

When it may not be suitable

This 1 m Cat6 S/FTP cable is intended for short-distance patching and may not be suitable where longer runs are required; for distances beyond typical patch panel-to-equipment links, consider using bulk cable or longer pre-terminated leads. If your installation does not require shielding (for example, in low-interference home setups with unshielded network equipment), an unshielded Cat6 cable could be a simpler and potentially less expensive option.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 1 m
• Connector type: RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Conductor type: stranded or solid depending on factory termination (suitable for patching)
• Jacket color: Yellow
• Typical applications: Ethernet up to Gigabit speeds (depending on network gear and installation)

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to the network port of a device (switch, router, network card or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that the cable is not sharply bent near the plug or routed under heavy compression. For optimal performance in shielded installations, verify that connected equipment and patch panels support shielded connections and that grounding is implemented according to local cabling standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your patching or device-to-device connection
• Whether shielded cabling is necessary given your environment and equipment
• Compatibility of RJ-45 connectors and whether equipment supports shielded terminations and grounding
• Color coding needs for your cabling scheme

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat6 S/FTP patch cable for short, high‑quality connections in environments where interference mitigation and clear visual identification are important. Avoid kinking the cable and maintain proper grounding in shielded installations to preserve shielding effectiveness.
