Network cable ShiverPeaks Cat 6 S/FTP halogen-free 15 m, model BS75725-HS

Network cable ShiverPeaks Cat 6 S/FTP halogen-free, 15 m, model BS75725-HS is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems. The S/FTP construction combines an overall braided screen with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for installations that require low smoke and zero halogen materials.

Advantages

This Cat 6 S/FTP cable provides improved signal integrity in environments with potential external interference thanks to the combination of foil and braided shielding. The halogen-free jacket offers increased safety in confined spaces and public buildings by minimizing harmful gases and dense smoke during combustion. At 15 meters length it is suitable for medium-range connections without the need for additional patch cords, and its Category 6 performance supports Gigabit speeds and reliable data transfer for modern network equipment.

Suitable for

• Office local area networks (LAN) and structured cabling installations
• Home networks and media streaming setups requiring stable Gigabit connections
• Server rooms, telecom cabinets and equipment racks with potential electromagnetic interference
• Public buildings, schools and hospitals where low smoke/zero halogen materials are required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided screen + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 15 m
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Supported applications: Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper conductors

How to use

Route the cable along the planned path, avoiding sharp bends and proximity to strong power sources to preserve shielding effectiveness. Terminate both ends with compatible RJ45 connectors or use pre-terminated plugs that match Cat 6 performance and follow T568A or T568B wiring standards consistently at both ends. Ensure secure connections in patch panels or keystone jacks designed for shielded cables and, if present, properly bond the overall braided shield to the building ground to maintain EMC performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain bend radius at least four times the cable diameter, avoid running parallel to mains power cables over long distances, and use shielded connectors and properly grounded panels when installing this S/FTP cable in environments with significant electromagnetic interference.
