Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75725 15m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75725 15m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission over longer distances. Constructed to meet Cat6a performance, this 15-metre cable supports elevated bandwidth requirements and is equipped with RJ-45 connectors with gold plating to ensure consistent conductivity and reduced contact corrosion. The S/FTP shielding combines overall foil with individually shielded pairs to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, offering a stable link for demanding networked devices. The cable's grey jacket provides a neutral, unobtrusive appearance suitable for both residential and professional installations.

Advantages

The cable delivers Cat6a-rated performance for applications that require higher throughput and lower pair-to-pair interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and reduce oxidation over time. The S/FTP construction enhances immunity to external electromagnetic disturbances and limits internal crosstalk, which helps maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. A 15-metre length allows flexible placement of network equipment without relying on additional adapters or extenders.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections for desktop PCs, laptops and workstations
• High-speed switches, routers and patch panels in home or small office networks
• Streaming, online gaming and video conferencing with reduced packet loss
• Structured cabling runs where interference protection is required
• Connecting networked printers, NAS devices and media players

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey
• Typical use: 10 Gigabit Ethernet and lower-speed Ethernet standards over standard distances supported by Cat6a

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of your router, switch or modem and the other end to your computer, NAS or networked device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages to maintain a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, excessive pulling or crushing; maintain bend radii consistent with cable manufacturer guidelines to preserve performance. If used in a structured installation, label both ends as needed and secure the cable using cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to power lines or large electrical equipment; cross any power sources at right angles. Use the ShiverPeaks Cat6a cable for links where interference protection and higher frequency performance are required. For permanent installations, follow local cabling standards and inspect connectors periodically for secure seating and minimal oxidation.
