Ethernet Patch Cable ShiverPeaks 08-62045 PIMF RJ45 — Patch lead for networking

ShiverPeaks 08-62045 PIMF RJ45 is an Ethernet patch cable engineered for network interconnections between switches, patch panels and network devices. The cable features standard RJ45 terminations and PIMF (pairs in metal foil) shielding that reduces electromagnetic interference, supplying consistent signal integrity for short-range horizontal runs and device patching in office or data center structured cabling.

Advantages

This patch lead uses PIMF (pairs in metal foil) shielding and an overall braided shield to limit crosstalk and external noise, which improves performance in environments with multiple adjacent cables and electronic equipment. The halogen-free jacket provides safer combustion properties compared with halogenated materials. With standard RJ45 connectors and a flexible sheath, the cable is easy to route and terminate within racks, patch panels and outlet boxes.

Suitable for

• Short horizontal runs between patch panels and wall outlets
• Connecting switches and network devices within racks
• Device-to-device patching in offices and data centers
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 7 (S/FTP equivalent performance)
• Shielding: Pairs in metal foil with overall braid
• Conductor type: Twisted pair copper conductors
• Jacket: Halogen-free, black
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Typical application: Horizontal patching and short interconnects
• Length: 3.0 m

How to use

Use the cable to connect network devices by plugging each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on switches, patch panels or devices. Route the cable along cable management guides or through cable trays to maintain bend radii and avoid sharp kinks. When installing multiple cables, stagger or separate bundled runs where possible to further reduce interference. Verify link speed and connectivity after installation using network diagnostics or the device status indicators.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable length within recommended limits for horizontal runs, avoid tight bends near the connectors, and maintain clear separation from high-voltage power lines. Use compatible RJ45 ports and patch panels rated for shielded connections and ensure proper grounding of the cable shields in the network infrastructure.
