Networking Cable S/CONN Cat. 7 S/FTP 0.25 m

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat. 7 S/FTP 0.25 m is a short patch cable designed for high-performance Ethernet connections in compact setups. With Category 7 S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this 0.25 m cable provides stable, low-interference data transmission for applications that require short, reliable links. The cable's yellow jacket helps with quick visual identification in dense cabling environments while supporting high-speed network standards.

Advantages

Cat. 7 S/FTP construction gives individual pair foil shielding plus an overall braided shield, reducing crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs improve contact conductivity and corrosion resistance for consistent signal quality. The short 0.25 m length minimizes excess cable slack and signal attenuation in patching between nearby devices. A brightly colored jacket simplifies cable management and rapid identification in racks and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and servers in racks where short connections are required
• Connecting network devices in home or office workstations with limited space
• Temporary test setups, lab benches, and equipment benches requiring reliable short links
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat. 7
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on each pair)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Color: Yellow jacket
• Conductor type: Twisted pair copper conductors

How to use

Install the cable by firmly inserting each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port until a tactile click confirms engagement. Use this 0.25 m cable to connect devices that are located close to each other, such as a switch to a server or a patch panel to a nearby device. Ensure both connected ports support shielded cabling or are properly grounded to maintain shielding effectiveness. Avoid sharp bends and do not subject the cable to crushing forces to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal shielding performance, connect both ends to shielded RJ-45 ports or use compatible metal patch panels and ensure proper grounding. Keep the cable free from tight bends (minimum bend radius typically several times the cable diameter) and avoid routing parallel to strong power cables to reduce interference.
