Patch Cable ShiverPeaks Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 — model 08-35154, network patch lead

ShiverPeaks Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable model 08-35154 is a network patch lead engineered for high‑speed copper Ethernet connections. The cable implements Category 7 wiring with an unshielded/overall-shield (U/UTP) configuration and RJ45 terminations to connect routers, switches, servers and patch panels. It is intended for LAN installations, data centers and office networks that require reliable wired connectivity over short to moderate distances.

Advantages

This Cat 7 U/UTP patch cable provides backward compatibility with earlier Ethernet standards while supporting higher bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared to lower category cables. The RJ45 connectors allow quick, tool-free insertion into standard ports, and the construction is optimized for consistent signal transmission and low attenuation in typical network environments. The cable’s design balances performance and flexibility for structured cabling and equipment interconnects.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network appliances in office or data center racks
• Patch panel to switch or server interconnects in structured cabling systems
• LAN deployments where higher category copper cabling is preferred for future-proofing
• Short- to medium-length horizontal and equipment patching within wiring closets

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 7 copper cable suitable for high-frequency Ethernet
• Shielding configuration: U/UTP (overall shielding with unshielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ45 terminations on both ends
• Typical use: Ethernet patching for gigabit and multi-gigabit networks
• Color: red (visible in installations for easy identification)
• Length: 1.5 m (suitable for rack and desk-side patching)

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on networking devices until the latch clicks, ensuring firm connection at both ends. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and heavy compression; maintain a minimum bend radius consistent with copper patch cabling to preserve signal integrity. For structured cabling, label each end as required and use cable management such as horizontal organizers or Velcro ties to keep patch fields orderly.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep it away from sources of electromagnetic interference. Verify device port settings for link speed and duplex after connection, and replace the cable if physical damage or persistent link issues occur.
