Patch cable ShiverPeaks Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 08-35005, unshielded twisted pair, Ethernet patch lead

ShiverPeaks Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable (model 08-35005) is an unshielded twisted pair Ethernet patch lead designed for short-range network connections. The cable provides Cat 7 performance with RJ45 terminations to link switches, routers, servers and workstations in structured cabling environments. It is intended for wired LAN use including high-speed data transfer and VoIP where Cat 7-rated cabling is specified.

Advantages

This unshielded Cat 7 patch cable combines higher bandwidth capability with the flexibility of an RJ45-terminated U/UTP lead. The cable supports reliable point-to-point connections for network patching while maintaining a compact form factor suitable for patch panels and crowded rack spaces. Its construction minimizes crosstalk and signal loss at typical patch lengths and allows straightforward installation without shield termination requirements.

Suitable for

• Short patching between switches, routers and patch panels
• Connecting servers and workstations to local area networks
• VoIP phone connections and IP telephony equipment
• High-speed data transfers within wiring closets and equipment racks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 7 (unshielded twisted pair, U/UTP)
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Typical use: Ethernet patching for LAN and data networks
• Conductor configuration: twisted pairs suitable for reduced crosstalk
• Color and length: black, short patch length (approx. 0.25 m)

How to use

Insert each RJ45 plug into the corresponding port on network devices such as switches, routers or patch panels until the plug clicks into place. Use the cable for short patch connections inside racks, between patch panels, or linking devices on a desktop. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet cables and route the lead away from strong electromagnetic interference sources when possible.

Recommendations

For consistent performance, use this Cat 7 U/UTP patch cable for short connections within structured cabling systems and avoid substituting for longer bulk runs that require different installation practices. Inspect RJ45 terminations periodically for secure seating in densely populated racks.
