Verkkokaapeli S/CONN Cat 6 S/FTP 5,0 m

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat 6 S/FTP 5.0m is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for Gigabit network environments. At 5.0 metres in length, the cable uses S/FTP (shielded foil with overall braid) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting reliable data transfer up to 1000 Mbit/s. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts to ensure stable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for home and office installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cable types, helping maintain signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment or dense cabling. Cat 6 specification supports gigabit speeds and is backward compatible with older Ethernet standards. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance contact conductivity and long-term durability. The 5.0 m length offers flexibility for typical desk-to-switch or wall outlet connections without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops, and network printers to switches or routers
• Home and small office wired networks requiring Gigabit performance
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial
• Temporary or permanent cabling between network equipment within a single room or office

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individual foil shields)
• Length: 5.0 m
• Maximum data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Outer jacket color: grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (PC, laptop, printer) and the other connector to a switch, router, or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable and keep it routed away from heavy power cables or large electrical equipment where possible. If connecting to shielded network hardware, ensure proper grounding of the shielded connectors and infrastructure to maximize interference protection.

Recommendations

For optimal long-term performance, avoid repeated tight bending and do not exceed the recommended bend radius. Use cable clips or cable ties to secure runs without compressing the jacket. When installing in mixed environments, verify compatibility with connectors and patch panels; where grounding is available, connect shielded cable shields to grounded ports or chassis to fully utilize S/FTP advantages.
