ShiverPeaks netwerkkabel S/CONN 08-26055 zwart 5 m Cat6a S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-26055 Black 5 m Cat6a S/FTP is a shielded Ethernet cable designed to provide high-speed wired connectivity for home and office networks. Built to the Cat6a standard with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts, this 5-m cable aims to support reliable data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference while maintaining a low-profile black appearance that integrates with common network setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually foil-wrapped pairs to minimize crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, supporting stable performance in environments with multiple electronic devices. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve conductivity and resist corrosion over time. The Cat6a specification supports higher frequency bandwidths compared with previous categories, enabling faster data rates and better headroom for emerging network demands. The 5 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices within a room without excess cable slack.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between routers, switches and PCs in home or small office networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium distances
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where additional shielding is beneficial
• Structured cabling runs requiring a neat black cable appearance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented performance for 10 Gbps applications)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil shield plus individually foiled twisted pairs)
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts
• Color: Black
• Typical use: Ethernet networking, data transfer, PoE-compatible setups depending on power needs

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the Ethernet port of your network device (router, switch, modem, or computer) and the other end to the corresponding port on the device you wish to network. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and pinching; maintain gentle curves rather than sharp angles to preserve cable performance. For fixed installations, use appropriate cable clips or ties to secure the cable without compressing the sheath or shielding.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or heavy machinery that may generate electromagnetic interference. Test link speed after installation to confirm expected throughput and consider using shielded connectors and grounded network equipment in installations where shielding continuity and grounding are required.
