Network cable ShiverPeaks 75517-SLY CAT 7 U/FTP flat RJ45 1 m

ShiverPeaks 75517-SLY CAT 7 U/FTP flat RJ45 1 m is a flat, high-performance network cable engineered for reliable Ethernet connections in confined routing spaces. The cable features individually foil-shielded twisted pairs with an unshielded outer jacket (U/FTP) to limit pair-to-pair interference and maintain signal integrity for Gigabit and multi-gigabit applications. The flat profile and molded RJ45 connectors make it suitable for discreet installation under carpets, along baseboards, or behind furniture while preserving full RJ45 compatibility for standard network devices.

Advantages

The U/FTP construction reduces crosstalk between pairs, supporting stable high-speed transmission and improved noise immunity compared with unshielded cables. The flat design simplifies installation in narrow spaces and allows the cable to lay closer to surfaces for a lower visual profile. Molded RJ45 plugs provide secure contact and strain relief at connector points to reduce the risk of damage from bending or pulling. The cable length and flexibility enable use in typical home and small-office layouts without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Wired Gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet connections in home or office networks
• Patching between switches, routers, and wall outlets in structured cabling
• Routing under carpets, along skirting boards, or behind furniture where a flat profile is needed
• Temporary or permanent workstation and multimedia device connections

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 7 (U/FTP) for reduced crosstalk
• Conductor pairs: Individually foil-shielded twisted pairs
• Connector: RJ45 molded plugs compatible with standard Ethernet ports
• Cable profile: Flat design for low-profile routing
• Length: 1 meter
• Typical use: Supports Gigabit and multi-gigabit network speeds depending on network equipment

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router, or wall outlet) and the other plug to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the flat cable along the desired path, pressing it close to floors or skirting where needed; avoid sharp bends at the connector ends and do not exceed the recommended bend radius to maintain performance. For installations near strong electromagnetic sources consider keeping separation where possible despite the U/FTP shielding.

Recommendations

For best performance, pair this Cat 7 U/FTP cable with compatible network equipment that supports Gigabit or higher speeds and avoid kinking the flat cable. When running alongside power cables or transformers, maintain distance to reduce potential interference even though individual pair shielding mitigates crosstalk.
