Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75726-B 20m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75726-B 20m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is designed to deliver stable high-speed data transmission for home and office networks. This blue, 20-metre cable implements Cat6a standards with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain signal integrity across longer runs. It supports applications that demand increased bandwidth and reduced interference, offering a practical solution for wired Ethernet connections in structured cabling and desktop setups.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil with individually shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving connection reliability in environments with multiple cables and nearby electronic equipment. The Cat6a specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate distances, while gold-plated RJ-45 contacts help ensure low-resistance connections and corrosion resistance over time. The 20 m length gives flexibility for routing between patch panels, switches and end devices without the need for additional extenders.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in small office or home networks
• Wired connections between switches, patch panels and desktop devices
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, large file transfer and gaming
• Environments with multiple network cables or electronic equipment where interference reduction is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 20 metres
• Connectors: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Color: Blue
• Bandwidth support: up to 500 MHz (Cat6a typical performance)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network switch, router or patch panel and the other end to the target device such as a PC, NAS or access point. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise; maintain gentle bend radii and secure the cable with appropriate fasteners to prevent strain on connectors. Verify link status on connected devices and, if necessary, test throughput with a network tester to confirm expected performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the S/FTP cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for long distances. When installing in rack or structured cabling environments, leave service loops at patch panels and label both ends for easier maintenance. Use compatible Cat6a or higher-rated patch panels and keystone jacks to preserve the cable's performance characteristics.
