Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP7-05 Patchcord S/FTP Cat7 0.5m Gray

The C-TECH CB-PP7-05 Patchcord S/FTP Cat7 0.5m in gray is a short network cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in local area networks. Compliant with the Cat7 standard, this S/FTP patchcord features individually shielded pairs and an overall foil shield to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Its 0.5 m length and compact form factor make it suitable for connecting devices in confined spaces, patch panels, switches and network equipment where short cable runs are required.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP construction improves signal integrity by combining foil shielding around all pairs with additional individual pair shielding, which helps maintain stable throughput at high frequencies. A half-metre length minimizes excess cable slack and improves cable management in racks or desktops. The gray jacket provides a neutral appearance that integrates into most office and home environments. The Cat7 rating supports higher bandwidths compared with lower-category patchcords, allowing reliable performance for demanding network tasks.

Suitable for

• Short connections between network switches and patch panels
• Linking desktop PCs, servers or network appliances to nearby ports
• Use in rack-mounted equipment and confined cabling spaces
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 7 (Cat7)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Gray
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends

How to use

Connect one RJ45-terminated end of the patchcord to a network port on the device and the other end to a corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m length for short, direct links to avoid cable clutter; do not overbend the cable near the connector boots and avoid sharp kinks that could damage internal shielding. For best results, route the cable away from power lines and large sources of interference.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connectors periodically for dirt or damage and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors are compromised. For installations requiring longer runs or wall/ceiling routing, select a cable with an appropriate length and installation rating. For optimal network performance, pair this Cat7 S/FTP patchcord with compatible Cat-rated hardware and properly grounded network infrastructure.
