Shielded Cat7 Ethernet Patch Cable ShiverPeaks 08-35094 U/UTP RJ45, for Gigabit and 10GbE networks

ShiverPeaks 08-35094 is a Cat7 U/UTP Ethernet patch cable with RJ45 connectors designed for high-speed network links. As a Cat7 cable it supports data rates suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and 10GbE applications and is intended for use in LAN environments, server rooms and workstation connections. The cable features individually shielded pairs with an overall unshielded jacket (U/UTP) construction that reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference on short runs and patching panels, ensuring stable data transmission for structured cabling and equipment interconnects.

Advantages

The cable provides high-frequency performance and low insertion loss for reliable 10GbE operation over typical patch distances. RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network devices and switches without requiring specialized interfaces. The U/UTP shielded-pair design balances improved interference rejection with flexibility suitable for routing in cabinets and under desks. Durable outer jacket and strain-relief at connectors increase mechanical resilience for repeated insertions and reconfigurations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office LANs
• Server room and rack patching where 10GbE links are required
• Workstation to wall outlet or desktop switch connections
• Short horizontal runs and structured cabling patching

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 7 (Cat7)
• Pair configuration: shielded pairs with unshielded overall jacket (U/UTP)
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Supported network speeds: Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over typical patch distances
• Application: Ethernet, LAN, server room and workstation interconnects
• Mechanical features: flexible jacket, connector strain-relief

How to use

Route the Cat7 patch cable between network devices ensuring connectors are fully inserted into RJ45 ports until the latch engages. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; maintain bend radii recommended for copper networking cables to preserve signal integrity. When connecting patch panels or switches, label both ends if necessary to simplify identification and future changes. For best performance, keep cable runs within typical horizontal patch lengths and avoid running parallel to strong sources of electromagnetic interference for extended distances.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short to moderate patching runs within racks and across workstations where 10GbE or Gigabit performance is required. For longer permanent horizontal runs or environments with high external interference, consider verifying channel components and overall shielding strategy to ensure end-to-end performance.
