Network cable ShiverPeaks 08-35000 Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable, shielded, Ethernet patch cord

ShiverPeaks 08-35000 Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable is a shielded Ethernet patch cord designed for high-performance wired networking. As a Category 7 cable with U/UTP topology and RJ45 terminations, this patch cord is intended for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and other network devices where enhanced bandwidth and reduced interference are required. The cable is offered in a short 0.25 m length and comes in a gray jacket suitable for patching in racks, wall plates or short link connections in data centers, offices and home networks.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat 7 specification supports higher frequency ranges and improved transmission characteristics compared with lower category patch cords. U/UTP construction provides shielding at the overall cable level to limit external electromagnetic interference while maintaining standard RJ45 compatibility for Ethernet equipment. The short length and compact jacket reduce clutter in patch panels and server racks and help maintain signal integrity for short-distance links.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in network racks
• Short-distance links in data center patch fields
• Office LAN horizontal and vertical patching
• Home network connections where a shielded Cat 7 patch cord is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 7
• Cable topology: U/UTP (overall shielded, unshielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ45
• Length: 0.25 m
• Color: gray

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding RJ45 port on your network device until the latch engages. Use the cable to establish a direct Ethernet link between equipment such as switches, routers or patch panels. As a short patch cord, it is intended for connections within racks, patch panels or wall-mounted outlets; avoid using it for long runs beyond its specified length. Ensure connectors are fully seated and routed to prevent sharp bends or compression of the jacket at the connector ends.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat 7 U/UTP patch cable for short interconnections in patch panels and rack environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and high-frequency capability are required. Avoid stretching the cable, exposure to excessive heat, and repeated sharp bending near the connectors to preserve signal integrity.
