networking cable ShiverPeaks BS75712

The ShiverPeaks BS75712 is a 2 m Cat6a networking cable with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts. Designed to support high-speed Ethernet links, this grey cable offers stable signal transmission and reduced crosstalk for environments where consistent network performance is required. Its Cat6a specification supports applications that demand higher bandwidth and improved noise immunity compared with lower-category cables.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around each pair and an overall foil braid reduce electromagnetic interference and improve signal integrity in cluttered or electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance corrosion resistance and ensure reliable mating with network ports. The 2 m length provides a balance between reach and cable management for desk-to-switch or patch panel connections. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into home or office setups.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections for desktop computers, laptops, and workstations
• Patch panel to switch or switch to wall outlet connections in small networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as HD video streaming, online gaming, and VoIP
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a for up to 10 Gbps performance at suitable distances
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pairs with overall braid)
• Connectors: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 2 metres
• Jacket colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port on your device and the other plug to a router, switch, or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure physical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; leave a small service loop where frequent movement is expected. For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or close to sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps links, use the cable within typical Cat6a distance guidelines and pair it with compatible network equipment. In wiring closets or behind furniture, secure the cable with velcro ties or cable clips to prevent strain on the RJ-45 connectors. Periodically inspect connectors for dust or corrosion and clean gently if necessary.
