Netwerkkabel ShiverPeaks BS75717-G 7,5m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75717-G 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is designed for high-speed wired Ethernet connections. Constructed to Cat6a specifications, the cable supports enhanced performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and reduced crosstalk compared with lower category cables. The S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) design combines an overall braid with individual pair foil shields to minimise electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over the 7.5 metre length. RJ-45 plugs with gold plating provide stable contact and corrosion resistance for repeated insertions.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat6a specification offers higher bandwidth and improved alien crosstalk protection relative to Cat5e and Cat6, making it suitable for demanding network environments. S/FTP shielding reduces noise from external sources and between pairs, improving reliability in areas with multiple cables or electrical equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance contact quality and resist oxidation, extending connector life. The 7.5 m length gives flexibility for desktop, rack, and home networking layouts without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within offices, studios, and datacentres
• High-speed home network links between routers, switches, and NAS devices
• Wired connections for gaming consoles and streaming equipment
• Environments with many adjacent cables or electrical interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a — supports 10 Gbps network speeds
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid plus foil on each twisted pair
• Length: 7.5 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Conductor construction: twisted pair copper conductors (solid/stranded as per manufacturer standard)
• Impedance: 100 ohm (nominal network impedance)
• Application: Ethernet LAN, structured cabling

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network device such as a router, switch, modem, computer or NAS and the other end to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks for secure contact. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks or tight loops that could damage the internal conductors or impair shielding. When installing in cable bundles, maintain proper separation from heavy-power cables where possible to reduce potential interference despite the shielding.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable in installations that require 10 Gbps throughput or enhanced shielding. Avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to high-voltage power lines; if crossing is necessary, do so at right angles. Inspect connectors periodically for dust or damage and replace the cable if there are signs of wear affecting connection quality.
