networking cable ShiverPeaks BS75712-B Blue 2 m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75712-B Blue 2 m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. With Cat6a performance and S/FTP (S‑STP) construction, this 2-meter cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to maintain stable connections between devices. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors, making it compatible with routers, switches, network cards and other standard Ethernet equipment. The blue jacket provides a clear visual identification in mixed-cable environments while the cable's build supports frequent handling in home and office setups.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and improved signal integrity compared to lower-category cables, enabling Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter runs. Its S/FTP shielding combines an overall braided shield with individually shielded twisted pairs to limit interference in electrically noisy environments. The 2 m length offers a balance between flexibility and reach for desktop and rack connections, while RJ-45 terminations ensure broad compatibility across network hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, gaming consoles and media players to a router or switch
• Short-run connections in office network racks and patch panels
• High-bandwidth applications such as streaming, online gaming and large file transfers
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Cable shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Color: Blue
• Suitable for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate distances

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet ports of the devices you want to connect, such as a computer and a router or switch. Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click to establish a secure physical connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends or crushing of the cable and route it away from large sources of electrical noise. Verify network link status on connected devices and configure network settings on your equipment as required.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short to medium runs where reduced interference and higher bandwidth are needed. If routing near power cables or in crowded cable trays, maintain separation where possible and use strain relief at connection points to prolong service life.
