ShiverPeaks 75712-AR CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF network cable, solid data cable for 10 GbE

Shielded network cable ShiverPeaks 75712-AR CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF is a bulk data cable engineered for reliable 10GbE performance in structured cabling systems. The cable uses individually foil-shielded twisted pairs combined with an overall braided shield, and a PIMF (Pairs In Metal Foil) construction to maintain pair geometry and reduce alien crosstalk. Designed for installations in server rooms, distribution frames and horizontal runs, this CAT 6A S/FTP cable supports high data throughput and robust electromagnetic interference protection for professional network environments.

Advantages

The combination of individual pair foil shielding and an overall braid provides enhanced protection against external interference and minimizes near-end and alien crosstalk, which is essential for stable 10GbE links. PIMF construction preserves pair integrity and mechanical stability, improving signal consistency across long horizontal runs. The halogen-free jacket reduces smoke and corrosive gas emissions in the event of fire, and the cable’s construction suits high-density patching and rack environments where cable performance and predictability are required.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in enterprise and data center networks
• Horizontal cabling between patch panels and wall outlets
• Interconnects between switches, routers and servers in server rooms
• Installations requiring reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI) and alien crosstalk protection

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Conductor configuration: PIMF (Pairs In Metal Foil)
• Rated for: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) performance
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Suitable for: horizontal and backbone cabling

How to use

Install the cable as part of a structured cabling system, routing it through cable trays, conduits or cable management channels to connect patch panels, switches and outlets. Strip the outer jacket and drain if present, preserve the individual foil shields during termination, and follow connector and patch panel manufacturer guidelines for terminating S/FTP PIMF cables. Maintain recommended bend radius and avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling force to protect pair geometry and shielding integrity. Test installed links with appropriate Cat6A/10GbE cable testers to verify performance and certification compliance.

Recommendations

For consistent 10GbE performance, use this CAT 6A S/FTP PIMF cable with compatible shielded RJ45 connectors and shielded patch panels, maintain separation from large power sources and active electrical equipment, and verify installation with certified testing tools. In high-density or critical installations, label runs and document cable paths to support future maintenance and troubleshooting.
