Networking cable shiverpeaks BASIC-S Cat7 S/FTP Orange 1.5 m

The ShiverPeaks BASIC-S Cat7 S/FTP Orange 1.5 m networking cable is a high-performance copper Ethernet cable designed for demanding wired network environments. Constructed to Cat7 specifications with S/FTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic and crosstalk interference, enabling stable high-speed data transmission. The cable is terminated with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts to improve conductivity and resist corrosion. Its 1.5 m length and bright orange jacket make it suitable for short run connections where visibility and reliable signal integrity are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil wrap with individually shielded pairs to minimise interference from external sources and internal crosstalk, supporting consistent throughput. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide low contact resistance and improved long-term reliability. The Cat7 performance supports higher bandwidths and is backward compatible with earlier Ethernet standards. The 1.5 m length is convenient for patching between equipment in racks, desks, and networking panels while the orange outer jacket aids cable identification and routing.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels in server rooms and data closets
• High-speed LAN connections for workstations, printers, and VoIP phones
• Home and small office setups requiring shielded cabling to reduce interference
• Short-run patching in structured cabling installations where colour-coded cables are used

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7 (Class F) performance for high-bandwidth applications
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil shield with individually foiled pairs
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1.5 metres
• Conductor: stranded or solid copper conductors suitable for patch and permanent links (see device requirements)
• Outer jacket colour: orange for easy identification

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your device and the other to a corresponding port on a switch, router, or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas with strong electromagnetic noise; maintain recommended bend radius for copper Ethernet cables to preserve signal quality. For rack installations, use cable management to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For best results in environments with potential interference, use shielded patch panels and maintain proper grounding of the network infrastructure. Choose this 1.5 m cable for short, visible links where colour coding helps organisation; for longer runs select appropriate lengths and consider installation-grade solid conductor cabling.
