Network Cable ShiverPeaks FL31-59270 U/FTP Cat. 6A 7m Grey

The ShiverPeaks FL31-59270 U/FTP Cat. 6A 7m Grey is a flexible, shielded patch cable engineered for reliable high-speed Ethernet connections. Constructed to Cat 6A standards with U/FTP shielding, this 7-meter grey cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper and is intended for structured cabling between networking devices such as switches, routers and patch panels. Its design balances mechanical durability and bend flexibility to suit installations in home offices, enterprise racks and dense cabling environments.

Advantages

The U/FTP configuration provides individual pair foil shielding under an overall unshielded jacket, reducing crosstalk and improving signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Cat 6A performance ensures support for higher bandwidth and extended reach at 10 Gbps rates. The cable jacket and conductor layout are optimized for repeated flexing and organized routing without compromising transmission characteristics. A neutral grey finish offers unobtrusive integration into most office and data center aesthetics.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and servers
• Patch panel to active equipment links in data cabinets and racks
• Office, home office and small server room network cabling
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where pair shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 6A performance suitable for 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Shielding: U/FTP — foil shielding on each twisted pair
• Length: 7 meters
• Color: Grey
• Connector type: Standard RJ45 terminated on both ends (shielded termination compatible with U/FTP)
• Physical properties: flexible jacket designed for routing in tight spaces and moderate mechanical stress

How to use

Route the cable between network endpoints avoiding sharp bends and pinching. Insert RJ45 plugs fully into the corresponding shielded or unshielded ports, ensuring proper alignment and secure locking of the connector tab. When connecting to shielded equipment, confirm that the connector shell and port provide a grounding path for the pair foils if system-level shielding is required. For patching in panels and cabinets, maintain gentle bend radii and label each end to simplify future changes.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight coil storage and maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius during installation. Keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines where possible to minimize induced interference. Use shielded patch panels and properly grounded racks when deploying in electrically noisy or mission-critical environments.
