Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75720-H-SET10 10m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75720-H-SET10 10m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable delivers a balanced solution for high-speed wired connections in home and office environments. Designed to meet Cat6a performance requirements, the cable uses S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference over a 10 metre length. The grey jacket provides a neutral, professional appearance while supporting reliable data transmission for Ethernet networks and connected devices.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall braided shield with individually foil-shielded pairs to minimise crosstalk and external interference, helping to preserve data speeds at higher frequencies. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs ensure consistent contact conductivity and resistance to corrosion, which contributes to long-term reliability. The 10 m length offers flexibility for typical room layouts without the need for repeaters or additional hardware for short-to-medium runs.

Suitable for

• Wired Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within a 10 m range
• Desktop PCs, laptops, network switches and routers in home or office setups
• Patch panel and structured cabling links in small network closets
• Audio/video streaming and low-latency gaming where stable wired connection is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a, suitable for frequencies up to 500 MHz
• Cabling type: S/FTP — braided overall shield with foil-shielded twisted pairs
• Connector type: RJ-45 plugs with gold plating for improved contact
• Length: 10 metres
• Colour: Grey
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, solid or stranded construction depending on set configuration

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network source such as a router or switch and the other plug to the target device like a PC, NAS or media player. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large transformers or unshielded power cables. If terminating into patch panels or keystone jacks, follow standard T568A/T568B wiring schemes and test continuity and pair integrity with a cable tester.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs under the recommended maximum for Cat6a in your specific infrastructure and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use cable management accessories to prevent kinking and maintain proper bend radius; periodically inspect connectors for corrosion if used in environments with high humidity.
