Network cable ShiverPeaks 08-35486 Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable, shielded pairs, 4-pair Ethernet

ShiverPeaks 08-35486 Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable is designed for high-speed wired networks that require stable signal transmission and reduced crosstalk. The cable uses four twisted pairs and meets Cat 7 performance characteristics with pair-level or overall shielding appropriate for demanding Ethernet environments. It is fitted with RJ45 connectors and intended for use in structured cabling, patch panels, switches, routers and workstation connections in offices, data centers and server rooms.

Advantages

The cable provides consistent transmission for Gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet thanks to its Cat 7 construction and shielding. Shielded pairs reduce electromagnetic interference and help maintain signal integrity over short to medium distances. Factory-terminated RJ45 connectors offer plug-and-play compatibility with standard network equipment, and the cable’s build quality supports reliable, long-term installations in professional environments.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and horizontal cabling in office networks
• Connections between switches, routers and servers
• Workstation and desktop Ethernet links
• Data center and server room patching where shielded performance is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 7
• Conductor configuration: four twisted pairs (U/UTP) with shielding suitable for Cat 7 performance
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Color: white
• Intended use: Ethernet patching for Gigabit and multi-gigabit networks

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each RJ45 connector into the corresponding port of network devices such as switches, patch panels, routers or network interface cards. Route the cable following your structured cabling plan, avoiding tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on connectors. Verify link speed and integrity after connecting by checking device LEDs or running network tests.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep individual cable runs within recommended horizontal cabling lengths for your network design, and avoid bundling shielded and unshielded cables together with power lines. Use appropriate grounding and bonding practices when integrating shielded cabling into an existing network infrastructure.
