Network extension box ShiverPeaks S/CONN maximum connectivity Cat.7 with LSA connection (75001-2)

ShiverPeaks S/CONN network extension box Cat.7 with LSA connection provides a compact, wall- or cabinet-mountable enclosure for extending, terminating or redistributing shielded Ethernet cabling. Designed for Category 7 shielded twisted-pair installations, the box accepts LSA-style punch-down terminations to ensure reliable conductor contact and stable signal transmission. The enclosure supports short interconnection segments, patching points and intermediate distribution in residential and commercial structured cabling systems.

Advantages

The extension box is built to accommodate Cat.7 shielding and maintain mechanical protection for terminated conductors while keeping a small footprint. LSA-style punch-down terminations offer secure, low-resistance connections that simplify installation without the need for soldering or specialized crimping tools. The compact design facilitates placement in utility cabinets, patch panels or surface-mounted positions and helps preserve cable geometry for consistent high-frequency performance.

Suitable for

• Extending or terminating Category 7 shielded Ethernet runs in homes and offices
• Creating intermediate distribution or patching points in structured cabling
• Small server rooms or network closets requiring shielded connections
• Field installations where compact, protected termination is required

Key specifications

• Category performance: Category 7 (shielded twisted-pair)
• Termination type: LSA-style punch-down contacts
• Enclosure: compact box suitable for surface or cabinet mounting
• Cable compatibility: shielded twisted-pair conductors for Cat.7
• Connection count: multi-pair punch-down positions for typical Ethernet pairs

How to use

Prepare the incoming and outgoing shielded cables by stripping the outer jacket and exposing the foil and individual conductors according to Cat.7 cabling practices. Terminate each conductor into the LSA-style punch-down positions following the color code for the network standard in use. Ensure the cable shield is correctly bonded to the box or shield termination point to maintain overall shielding continuity. After termination, check all connections for correct seating and secure the enclosure in its chosen location. Perform standard network testing to verify continuity and performance.

Recommendations

Use a proper LSA punch-down tool and follow recommended shielding ground practices to preserve signal integrity. Avoid sharp bends near the termination and keep pair untwisting to a minimum to maintain Category 7 performance. After installation, validate cable performance with appropriate certification or testing equipment.
