Network extension cable ShiverPeaks 08-62040 PIMF RJ45 — patch cable for ethernet connections

The ShiverPeaks 08-62040 network extension cable with PIMF RJ45 connectors is a 3.0 m patch lead designed to extend Ethernet connections between network devices. Constructed from halogen-free Cat.7 raw cable with S/FTP shielding and a PIMF (Pair in Metal Foil) termination, this grey extension cable provides a standard RJ45-terminated interface compatible with common routers, switches and network adapters where additional length is required for office or home installations, repairs or temporary setups.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat.7 performance with S/FTP shielding and PIMF termination to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable data transmission in environments with multiple networked devices. Halogen-free construction lowers smoke and corrosive gas emissions in case of fire, and the 3.0 m length offers a practical balance between reach and manageability. Standard RJ45 termination ensures broad compatibility with Ethernet equipment without requiring adapters.

Suitable for

• Extending connections between switches, routers and patch panels in offices
• Temporary network setups and repairs in home or small business environments
• Connecting network devices in server rooms or wiring closets where shielded cable is preferred
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference that benefit from S/FTP and PIMF shielding

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.7 raw cable
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Pair termination: PIMF (Pair in Metal Foil)
• Length: 3.0 meters
• Conductor: stranded copper cores suitable for patch applications
• Outer jacket: halogen-free material
• Color: grey
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends, compatible with standard RJ45 ports

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on the devices you want to link, ensuring a firm click to confirm proper mating. Route the 3.0 m cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible; secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable ties to prevent strain on the connectors. For best performance, connect the cable end-to-end between network devices, patch panels or wall outlets designed for RJ45 connections.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short to medium extension runs within rack enclosures, office desks or residential networking areas. Maintain gentle bend radii and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to preserve signal integrity. For permanent installations or runs exceeding recommended lengths for Cat.7 patch leads, consider fixed installation-grade cabling solutions and professional termination.
