Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75717-H-SET10 7.5m Cat6 S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75717-H-SET10 is a 7.5m Cat6 networking cable with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors. Designed for wired Ethernet connections, this grey cable supports gigabit data transfer rates and reduces electromagnetic interference through its foil and braided shielding around individual pairs and the overall cable. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs provide stable signal transmission and longer contact life.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP construction minimizes crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables and electronic equipment. Cat6 specification ensures support for higher bandwidth and lower latency compared with earlier cable categories. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts resist corrosion and maintain consistent electrical contact over repeated insertions. The 7.5 m length provides flexibility for connecting devices across medium distances in offices, server racks, or home setups.

Suitable for

• Wired gigabit Ethernet connections between routers, switches, and PCs
• Home or office networks requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Connecting networked devices in server cabinets, workstations, or AV setups
• Temporary or permanent cabling where a 7.5 m reach is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (meets Cat6 performance parameters)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil with individually shielded twisted pairs
• Length: 7.5 metres
• Connectors: RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey
• Typical use: Ethernet data transmission up to gigabit speeds

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (router, switch or PC) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure plugs are fully inserted until the latch clicks for secure contact. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for Ethernet cables to preserve signal quality. If used in a shielded environment, ensure connector shields or chassis are grounded according to your installation practice to maximize interference suppression.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines for long distances; where crossings are unavoidable, cross at right angles. Use this S/FTP Cat6 cable for installations that benefit from improved shielding, such as dense office cabling or locations with significant electrical noise. Inspect connectors regularly for damage and replace the cable if the outer jacket or connectors show wear.
