Network cable ShiverPeaks 08-35096 CAT 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable, length unspecified

ShiverPeaks 08-35096 CAT 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable is designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in structured cabling environments. This cable follows the Category 7 wiring standard with unshielded U/UTP construction and RJ45 terminations suitable for patching between network devices such as switches, routers and patch panels. It is intended to carry Ethernet signals over short to medium patch distances while preserving signal integrity and supporting higher bandwidths compared with lower category cables.

Advantages

The U/UTP construction provides a balance between flexibility and performance, enabling straightforward installation in racks and patch panels. RJ45 connectors ensure broad compatibility with existing network equipment. Adherence to CAT 7 wiring standard supports increased bandwidth and improved crosstalk performance relative to older categories, making the cable suitable for environments demanding reliable, high-throughput connections. The physical design is intended for easy routing and termination in standard networking setups.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, routers and patch panels in data centers and server rooms
• Structured cabling runs in office and commercial networks
• Home networks requiring CAT 7 performance for high-bandwidth applications
• Temporary or permanent connections in network racks and telecommunication closets

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 7 wiring standard
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded overall, unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ45 terminations
• Intended use: Ethernet patch cable for short to medium distances
• Color: white (as commonly supplied for patch applications)

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on network devices such as switches, routers or patch panels until the retaining clip clicks into place. Route the cable through cable management paths or trays to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. For structured cabling, label both ends as needed and record port assignments in network documentation. Test the connection with a network tester or by verifying link and data transfer rates on connected equipment.

Recommendations

Avoid running the cable parallel to power lines over long distances to reduce potential electromagnetic interference. Maintain bend radius recommendations and avoid kinking; secure cables with appropriate ties and organizers. Use certified connectors and correct termination practices when re-terminating to ensure performance consistent with CAT 7 characteristics.
