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, high-performance patch cable designed for modern Ethernet networks. With S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors plated in gold, this 0.5 m cable delivers consistent signal integrity for short-distance connections between switches, routers, patch panels and network devices. The cable's Cat 7 specification supports high data rates and reduces electromagnetic interference, while the yellow jacket provides easy visual identification in crowded cable runs.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines overall foil screening with individually shielded pairs to minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and resist corrosion for long-term performance. The 0.5 m length is useful for tidy, low-latency connections in racks and desktop setups, and the bright yellow sheath helps with cable organisation and quick identification during maintenance.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch ports and servers in rack-mounted systems
• Connecting desktop workstations to nearby network outlets
• Short internal connections in small server rooms or communication cabinets
• Lab and test environments where clear colour coding simplifies cable management

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 7 (Class F) suitable for high-speed Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Yellow jacket for visual identification
• Typical applications: Gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet, low-latency patching

How to use

Identify the two network ports you need to link and route the 0.5 m cable so it does not bend sharply at the connectors. Insert each RJ-45 connector until the latch clicks to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Use the yellow colour to distinguish this cable in a bundle and avoid stretching the cable or placing it under mechanical stress. For best performance, keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference and maintain the intended length without extensions.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m S/CONN Cat. 7 S/FTP cable for short, high-quality patching inside racks and workstations. For long-distance links, choose appropriately rated longer cables; for shielded installations ensure proper grounding of connected equipment to realise full EMI protection.
