Network cable ShiverPeaks 08-35156 Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable, shielded, RJ45 terminations

ShiverPeaks 08-35156 Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable is a shielded network cable designed for high-performance Ethernet connections. With Category 7 specification and RJ45 terminations, the cable delivers reliable signal transmission for gigabit and multi-gigabit networks. The U/UTP construction provides individually shielded pairs along with an overall foil shield, reducing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense cabling environments. This 1.5 m white patch cable is intended for use where a compact, shielded Ethernet connection is required between network devices.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat 7 performance supports increased bandwidth and improved signal integrity compared with lower category cables, making it suitable for demanding network segments. Shielding on each twisted pair plus an overall foil layer helps minimize external electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk. Standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network equipment such as switches, routers and patch panels. Its compact length and flexible jacket allow easy routing in racks, under desks and within conduit while maintaining a professional installation appearance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers in office or data center racks
• Linking servers to patch panels or network interfaces
• Short runs within structured cabling systems and workstations
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 7 performance for high-bandwidth Ethernet
• Construction: U/UTP — individually shielded pairs with overall foil shield
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated at both ends
• Length: 1.5 meters (approximate usable patch length)
• Jacket color: white
• Typical use: patching between network devices, switches, routers and patch panels

How to use

Connect one RJ45 termination to the network port of a switch, router or server and the other RJ45 end to the corresponding port on a patch panel or endpoint device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and the cable is not excessively bent near the terminations to maintain signal integrity. For installations in shielded environments, verify that equipment racks, panels and outlets provide appropriate grounding to take full advantage of the cable’s shielding.

Recommendations

Use this Cat 7 shielded patch cable for short runs where improved EMI protection and enhanced pair isolation are required. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks, maintain separation from high-voltage power cables where possible, and ensure proper grounding of shielded infrastructure components for optimal performance.
