Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75712-Y 2m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75712-Y 2m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable provides a 2-metre connection solution for high-speed Ethernet networks. Designed for reliable data transmission, the cable uses Cat6a specifications and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure stable contacts and improved corrosion resistance, while the bright yellow jacket makes the cable easy to trace in mixed cabling environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding construction combines an overall foil with individually shielded pairs to minimise crosstalk and external interference, supporting consistent throughput at higher frequencies. Gold-plated connector contacts improve long-term contact reliability and reduce signal loss at the connector interface. The 2 m length is suited to short runs between network devices, patch panels, and wall outlets, while the vivid jacket colour simplifies identification and cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktops, laptops, and network switches within offices or home networks
• Patch panel and rack connections in small server rooms
• High-bandwidth applications such as streaming, video conferencing, and data transfer
• Environments where cable identification and organised cabling are important

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a, suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to moderate distances
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs) to reduce EMI and crosstalk
• Length: 2 metres for short interconnections and patching
• Connectors: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Jacket colour: bright yellow for easy visual identification
• Conductor type: twisted pair construction designed to maintain signal integrity at high frequencies

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your device until the latch clicks, ensuring a secure physical connection. Use the cable to link routers, switches, PCs, or patch panels; avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable to maintain signal performance. For rack or patch-panel installations, route the cable alongside other structured cabling using cable organisers or ties, taking care not to overcompress the shielded pairs.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded or low-interference environments and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. When installing multiple shielded cables, terminate shielding properly at connection points and maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet cabling. Use the bright yellow jacket to label and identify network segments during installation and maintenance.
