Flat Cable ShiverPeaks Basic-S

The ShiverPeaks Basic-S flat cable is a slim, black network cable with an RJ-45 connector designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home and office environments. Its flat profile reduces bulk and allows the cable to lie close to walls, under carpets, or along skirting boards for a discreet installation. Delivered as a single high-quality cable per pack, the Basic-S model focuses on practical use, flexibility and straightforward performance for everyday networking tasks.

Advantages

The flat design provides a low-profile fit and easier routing in confined spaces compared with round cables. The durable outer jacket resists abrasion and everyday wear while maintaining flexibility for bends and turns during installation. The integrated RJ-45 connector ensures compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and supports straightforward plug-and-play use without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops and networked printers to a router or switch
• Wiring home entertainment devices such as smart TVs and media players
• Short to medium length cable runs where space-saving routing is needed
• Temporary or permanent office desk and workstation connections

Key specifications

• Flat cable profile for low‑height routing
• Standard RJ‑45 connector for Ethernet networks
• Black outer jacket for discreet appearance
• Single cable per pack for individual installation needs
• Flexible construction for bends and confined routing

How to use

Plug one end of the ShiverPeaks Basic-S flat cable into the Ethernet port of your device and the other end into a router, switch or wall outlet with a matching RJ‑45 socket. Route the cable along walls, under carpets or through cable channels, taking advantage of the flat profile to minimize visibility. Avoid forcing sharp bends beyond the cable's natural curve and do not pinch the cable in doors or windows to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best results, keep cable runs tidy and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. Use cable clips or adhesive channels for secure routing and ensure connectors are fully inserted into ports for a stable connection.
