Afgeschermde ethernetkabel ShiverPeaks 75725-AG Cat 6A S/FTP PIMF, 4-pairs, 10 Gbps

ShiverPeaks 75725-AG Cat 6A S/FTP PIMF, 4-pair, 10 Gbps is a shielded Ethernet cable engineered for structured network installations that require high throughput and improved immunity to electromagnetic interference. The cable features four individually foil-shielded twisted pairs (S/FTP) combined with an overall braided shield, enabling stable 10 Gbps transmission over standard horizontal runs. Constructed to meet Category 6A performance, the cable is suitable for modern LAN environments, PoE devices and data center links where reduced crosstalk and consistent signal integrity are required.

Advantages

The combination of individual pair foil shielding and an overall braid reduces alien crosstalk and external EMI, improving link stability for high-speed applications. Cat 6A performance supports 10 Gbps Ethernet over typical structured cabling distances while maintaining headroom for advanced measurement margins. The cable is halogen-free, which reduces toxic smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire. Its S/FTP PIMF construction also facilitates predictable impedance and low insertion loss for reliable network diagnostics and certification.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• Office LAN backbone and horizontal cabling
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices including cameras, Wi‑Fi access points and VoIP phones
• Environments with elevated EMI or dense cable bundling

How to use

Install the cable following standard structured cabling practices, maintaining proper bend radius and avoiding sharp kinks. Terminate the cable with compatible Cat 6A shielded connectors and ensure correct grounding of the overall drain/braid to maintain the effectiveness of the shield. When routing through patch panels, racks or conduits, avoid tight bundling near high-power electrical lines to minimize induced interference. Perform certification testing after installation to verify performance parameters such as insertion loss, NEXT and return loss to confirm 10 Gbps readiness.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use shielded Cat 6A patch cords and shielded patch panels that match the S/FTP construction and ensure continuous grounding of shields. Follow manufacturer guidelines for maximum horizontal run length and observe bend radius and termination torque specifications when installing connectors.
