Networking Cable S/CONN ShiverPeaks Cat. 7 S/FTP 3 m

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat. 7 S/FTP 3 m is a 3-metre network patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and device-to-device connections. It uses S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually shielded twisted pairs) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and terminates in RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain low contact resistance and reliable signal transfer. The cable's white jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for home and office installations.

Advantages

S/FTP construction offers improved protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, supporting stable high-bandwidth connections. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure durable contact surfaces and consistent performance over repeated plug cycles. The 3 m length balances flexibility and reach for common setups without excess cable slack. The cable is compatible with equipment that accepts standard RJ-45 Ethernet connections and is suitable for environments requiring higher shielding compared with unshielded alternatives.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches, and network interface cards in home or office networks
• High-speed Ethernet applications, including Gigabit and 10 Gigabit connections where Cat 7 cabling is supported
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference, such as near power supplies or industrial equipment
• Structured cabling runs where a 3 m patch cable is required for equipment interconnection

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 7 (S/FTP)
• Shielding: Overall braided shield plus individually shielded twisted pairs (S/FTP)
• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Color: White
• Typical applications: High-speed Ethernet, Gigabit and multi-gigabit networks

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your router, switch, modem, or computer and the other into the corresponding device port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise when possible. For wall or cable-management installations, use appropriate clips or ties to secure the cable without compressing the jacket or conductors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, verify that connected devices support the desired network speed and that patch panels or keystone jacks are rated for Cat 7 or compatible shielding. Avoid kinking the cable and maintain bend radii specified by standard cabling practices. In mixed-shielding environments, ensure proper grounding of shielded components to maximize EMI protection.
