Networking Cable S/CONN Cat. 7 S/FTP 0.5 m

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat. 7 S/FTP 0.5 m is a short patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in LAN environments. With Cat 7 S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts, the cable supports stable signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference. Its compact 0.5 m length is suited for close-proximity connections between network devices, patch panels, switches and wall outlets while the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance for professional installations.

Advantages

Cat 7 S/FTP construction provides individual pair foil shielding plus an overall braided shield, delivering improved protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic disturbances. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce contact resistance and improve corrosion resistance for consistent performance over time. The 0.5 m length minimises excess cable clutter in rack, desk or cabinet installations and the flexible jacket allows for neat routing in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network switches, routers and servers
• Connecting devices in server racks or network cabinets
• Desktop or home office setups where short, high-quality cabling is required
• High-speed internet and LAN data transfer applications

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 7
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield plus foil around each twisted pair)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket colour: Grey
• Typical use: Ethernet LAN connections, high-speed data transmission

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector ends firmly into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your networking devices until the latch clicks into place. Use the 0.5 m cable to connect devices located close to each other, such as switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections within a rack. Ensure that connectors are fully seated and that strain is minimised at the connector ends to avoid damage. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For optimum signal quality, use this Cat 7 S/FTP cable for short, critical links where shielding and low crosstalk are important. When installing in racks or tight spaces, route the cable to prevent tight bends and avoid running parallel to high-power electrical lines. Inspect connectors periodically and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible wear.
