Network extension cable ShiverPeaks 08-62015 PIMF RJ45 for Ethernet connections

The ShiverPeaks Network extension cable 08-62015 PIMF RJ45 is designed to extend Ethernet connections in structured cabling and device-to-device links. This extension cable uses a PIMF (Pairs in Metal Foil) construction with S/FTP shielding and halogen-free materials, offering a compact 0.5 m length and a standard RJ45 interface compatible with common network devices. It is suitable for short in-line extensions where a robust shielded connection is required between switches, patch panels, or endpoints.

Advantages

This RJ45 extension cable combines S/FTP shielding and PIMF pair-level protection to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in crowded cable environments. The halogen-free jacket increases safety in installations where low smoke and toxicity are desired. Its short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable slack while providing a reliable mechanical and electrical connection for Ethernet links. The cable’s standard RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with most network hardware and structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet ports between devices such as switches, routers, and patch panels
• Short in-line extensions in office or home networking setups
• Temporary cabling during maintenance or testing
• Shielded installations requiring reduced EMI and improved signal integrity

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/FTP with PIMF (pairs in metal foil) shielding
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector: RJ45 plugs on both ends, standard 8P8C
• Color: black
• Category: compatible with high-performance Ethernet cabling (Cat.7 raw cable construction)

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the source device or patch panel and the other connector into the target device or network outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched to establish a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable and maintain correct routing within the structured cabling layout. Verify link status on network devices after installation.

Recommendations

Use this short extension cable where a shielded, low-profile in-line connection is needed. Keep the cable clear of strong electromagnetic sources and route within shielded trays or conduits in high-interference environments. For permanent installations, confirm compatibility with existing cabling standards and test the link with appropriate network testing tools to ensure signal integrity.
