Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75711-HY-SET5 Yellow 1m Cat6 S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75711-HY-SET5 Yellow 1m Cat6 S/FTP is a one-metre patch cable designed to support Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network connections. It conforms to Cat6 performance parameters and uses S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding to reduce crosstalk and external interference. Both ends terminate in RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity. The cable's halogen-free jacket and bright yellow colour make it suitable for visible, safe, and organised installations in offices, data cabinets and production environments.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, which supports more stable data transmission at higher frequencies. The Cat6 specification allows reliable throughput for Gigabit Ethernet and many multi-gigabit applications within standard channel lengths. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and reduce oxidation risk. The 1 m length minimises excess cable in tight setups and the yellow jacket helps with quick visual identification in patch panels and cable runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels within racks and offices where 1 m reach is sufficient
• Gigabit Ethernet and up to typical Cat6-rated frequencies in local area networks
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference due to screened cable construction
• Patch cable use in data cabinets, workstations, and media devices where colour-coding is useful

When it may not be suitable

This 1 m Cat6 S/FTP cable is not intended for long-distance backbone runs or for installations that require outdoor burial or direct exposure to harsh weather; it is sized and specified for in-cabinet, in-room, or in-rack patching. If a fully shielded (overall + pair) solution, outdoor-rated, or plenum-rated cable is required, select a cable with the appropriate construction and certification for that environment.

Key specifications

• Length: 1 m
• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid plus foil around each pair)
• Connectors: RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: halogen-free, yellow
• Typical use: patch cable for Gigabit Ethernet and similar LAN applications

How to use

Determine the required 1 m connection between network equipment such as a switch and a patch panel or between a patch panel and an outlet. Align and insert each RJ-45 plug into the device ports until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends, kinks or crushing; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for Ethernet cabling to preserve performance. For best results, keep cable length within recommended channel limits for Cat6 deployments and route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 1 m length matches your planned cable runs and patching layout
• Ensure Cat6 performance meets the network speed and frequency needs of your setup
• Check whether screened S/FTP construction is required for the installation environment
• Verify that a halogen-free jacket and yellow colour are acceptable for your site regulations and colour-coding scheme

Usage recommendations

Use this ShiverPeaks Cat6 S/FTP cable for short, visible patch connections inside racks and equipment rooms. Pair colour-coded cables with a consistent patching plan, avoid bundling near high-power electrical runs, and replace any cable showing physical damage to maintain reliable network performance.
