Patch Cable S/FTP Cat.6A ShiverPeaks BS75730-AS — halogen-free, PIMF, black, 30m

ShiverPeaks S/FTP Cat.6A Patch Cable BS75730-AS is a 30 m, halogen-free network patch cable engineered for high-speed Ethernet up to Cat.6A performance. The cable features PIMF (Pair in Metal Foil) construction with individual pair foil shielding and an overall braided screen, offering enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference. Designed in black with a 30 m length, this cable is intended for structured cabling in data centers, offices and industrial environments where reduced crosstalk and reliable high-frequency transmission are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP design with pair-in-metal-foil and overall braid reduces near-end and far-end crosstalk and improves immunity to external electromagnetic interference, supporting stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission. The halogen-free jacket lowers harmful gas emissions in case of fire, meeting safety expectations for public and professional installations. The 30 m length provides flexibility for cable runs without intermediate couplers, and the black outer sheath offers a discreet appearance for visible routing.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections and high-speed LAN backbones.
• Data center rack cabling and patch panels.
• Office structured cabling and workstation connections.
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference or dense cable bundles.
• Installations requiring halogen-free materials for improved fire safety.

When it may not be suitable

This 30 m Cat.6A patch cable is not intended for permanent outdoor burial or direct exposure to sunlight and extreme weather unless additional protective conduits are used. It is sized for typical indoor routing; very short patching between adjacent ports may be better served with shorter cables to reduce excess cable management effort.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (supports up to 500 MHz).
• Shielding: S/FTP — individual pair foil (PIMF) plus overall braided screen.
• Length: 30 meters.
• Jacket: Halogen-free outer sheath.
• Color: Black.
• Connectors: Standard RJ45 terminations (suitable for Cat.6A applications).
• Typical application: 10GBASE-T and lower Ethernet standards.

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device or patch panel and the other to the corresponding switch, router or outlet. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain recommended bend radius for Cat.6A cables to preserve signal integrity. When routing near power lines or sources of interference, use the shielded cable connections and ensure proper grounding of the overall cable shield at patch panels or chassis to realize the full EMC benefits.

What to consider before purchase

• Required length and whether 30 m matches the planned cable run without excessive slack.
• Need for halogen-free materials due to building or safety regulations.
• Compatibility with existing connectors, patch panels and grounding practices for shielded cables.
• Indoor use: additional protection needed for outdoor exposure or direct burial.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight coils and maintain a smooth route with gentle bends. Terminate and ground shielded connections at one point (typically the patch panel or switch chassis) following site grounding policies. Use this S/FTP Cat.6A cable for critical links where EMI immunity and 10G performance are required.
