Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75725-R Red 15m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75725-R Red 15m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable provides a long, shielded connection for high-speed Ethernet applications. This 15-metre cable uses Cat6a specification and S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) construction to reduce external interference and crosstalk, and comes with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for consistent signal transfer. The red jacket offers clear visual identification in complex cabling setups while the robust outer sheath is designed for durability in both home and office environments.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP design improves immunity to electromagnetic interference and helps maintain data integrity over longer runs. Cat6a performance supports higher frequencies and bandwidth compared with earlier cable categories, allowing stable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet where supported by network equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce oxidation and ensure reliable electrical contact. The 15 m length balances reach and manageability, and the red colour simplifies cable management by making the cable easy to spot among other connections.

Suitable for / Use cases

• Connecting desktop PCs, servers, or network switches in office or home network environments
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, online gaming, and file transfer
• Structured cabling runs where electromagnetic interference is a concern
• Visual cable management and colour-coded installations

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Length: 15 metres
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Red
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet where supported

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices or network equipment, ensuring a secure click to confirm the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and areas with heavy electromagnetic sources where possible; maintain a gentle bend radius consistent with standard cabling practices. For permanent or structured installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable clips or ties without compressing the outer sheath to preserve shielding effectiveness and mechanical integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for links requiring reduced interference and higher bandwidth. For optimal performance, pair the cable with compatible Cat6a-capable switches, routers, and NICs, and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. Periodically inspect connectors for dirt or damage and replace if contact reliability is compromised.
