Network Cable ShiverPeaks Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 Patch Cable model 08-35011

ShiverPeaks Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable model 08-35011 is a 0.5 m, blue Category 7 network patch lead designed for high‑performance Ethernet connections. It uses unshielded twisted pairs with an overall unshielded jacket and factory‑terminated RJ45 plugs to connect switches, routers, patch panels and network ports in structured cabling environments.

Advantages

The cable supports Cat 7 performance for high data rates and reduced crosstalk compared with lower categories. Its short 0.5 m length minimises excess cabling in patch panels and desktop installations while the U/UTP construction and standard RJ45 terminations provide broad compatibility with existing Ethernet hardware. The blue jacket enables easy visual identification within racks and cable bundles.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels
• High‑speed desktop connections to network sockets
• Structured cabling in offices and small data‑centre top‑of‑rack use
• Environments where Cat 7 performance is required but full individual shielding is not

When it may not be suitable

This U/UTP Cat 7 cable does not provide individual pair shielding or an overall shield, so it is not ideal for installations with high external electromagnetic interference where screened cables are recommended. Its short 0.5 m length is intended for close patching and is not suitable for runs between distant endpoints.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 7
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs, unshielded overall)
• Connector type: RJ45 plugs at both ends
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: blue
• Typical use: Ethernet patching, structured cabling

How to use

Insert each RJ45 plug into the corresponding network port, switch or patch panel socket until the latch clicks. Use the cable for short patch connections to avoid excess slack; route it alongside other cables to maintain tidy bundles and reduce mechanical stress on the connectors. Test the link after installation to confirm link speed and connectivity.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether unshielded U/UTP construction suits the electromagnetic environment
• If 0.5 m length matches the intended patching distance
• Compatibility with existing RJ45 network equipment and required Cat performance

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation use the cable for short horizontal or patch panel connections in low‑EMI environments; avoid running it parallel to high‑power electrical lines and verify link speed with a network tester after installation.
