Network Cable ShiverPeaks 75520-SLR CAT 7 U/FTP Flat RJ45

ShiverPeaks 75520-SLR CAT 7 U/FTP Flat RJ45 is a flat Ethernet cable designed for high-speed wired LAN connections in environments where space and neat routing are important. The cable uses U/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and protect against external electromagnetic interference while supporting Gigabit and multi-gigabit network performance over copper. Its flat profile allows simple routing along baseboards, under carpets or behind furniture, making it suitable for home and office installations that require unobtrusive cabling.

Advantages

The flat construction minimizes visible cable bulk and simplifies routing in narrow gaps and tight corners. U/FTP shielding around each pair provides improved signal integrity and reduced near-end crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives. Pre-terminated RJ45 connectors enable plug-and-play use with network equipment, and the cable's flexible jacket supports easier installation in constrained spaces without compromising conductor arrangement.

Suitable for

• Home and small office wired networks where discreet cabling is needed
• Running network lines along skirting boards, under carpets or behind furniture
• Connecting switches, routers, networked consoles and media players
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved crosstalk protection

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT 7 U/FTP (shielded, twisted pairs with overall flat profile)
• Connectors: RJ45 on both ends, pre-terminated for immediate use
• Form factor: flat profile for low-profile routing and concealment
• Conductor arrangement: four twisted pairs with individual pair shielding
• Typical applications: Ethernet networking up to multi-gigabit speeds over copper
• Length option example: 10.0 m (product available in slim, red variant for space-conscious installations)

How to use

Route the flat cable along the chosen path, keeping bends gradual to avoid sharp kinks. Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding LAN ports on networking devices until the latch clicks. For runs under carpets or along skirting boards, press the cable flat against the surface for a discreet installation. Ensure connectors are fully seated and test the link using a networked device or cable tester to confirm connectivity and performance.

Recommendations

Avoid tight bending radii and heavy loads on the cable; maintain separation from high-voltage power lines where possible to reduce interference. For best performance, use shielded network equipment or properly grounded patch panels when deploying shielded cables in mixed environments. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and keep cable paths free from sharp objects that could compress the flat profile.
