Flat Cable ShiverPeaks Basic-S

The ShiverPeaks Basic-S flat cable combines a slim profile with a black-and-white aesthetic and an integrated RJ-45 connector to provide straightforward wired networking. Designed as a single-pack cable for simple installation, its flat construction reduces bulk and makes it easier to route along walls, under carpets, or through tight spaces while maintaining a reliable Ethernet connection for home or office environments.

Advantages

The flat form factor minimizes tangling and allows the cable to lie close to surfaces, reducing visual impact and tripping hazards. The cable’s RJ-45 termination ensures compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and network devices. Its durable outer sheath supports frequent handling and placement in concealed routes without compromising signal continuity.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections for desktops, laptops, routers and switches
• Home networking where discreet cable routing is needed
• Office workstations and meeting rooms with limited cable space
• Temporary or permanent installations under carpets or along skirting boards

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45
• Cable style: flat, low-profile design
• Color: black and white
• Packaging: single cable pack

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device and the other end to the router, switch or modem. Route the flat cable along walls, under flooring trims or beneath carpets to keep it discreet and protected. Ensure the cable is not sharply bent at the connector ends and avoid heavy compression points that could damage the conductors. Test the network link after installation to confirm proper connectivity.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to high-voltage power lines or large electrical devices to reduce potential interference. When routing under carpets or through narrow gaps, allow gentle curvature and secure the cable with low-profile clips or adhesive channels to prevent movement and wear.
