Patch Cable ShiverPeaks Cat.7 U/UTP 3 m Grey — RJ45

ShiverPeaks Cat.7 U/UTP patch cable, 3 m, grey — stranded RJ45 network cable designed for installations that require high-frequency performance with an unshielded pair topology and overall U/UTP arrangement. This cable connects switches, routers, patch panels and other Ethernet devices in home, office or data‑center patching environments. The 3-metre length provides flexible reach for rack-to-desk connections, server cabinet patching and workplace wiring where intermediate distance and easy cable routing are needed.

Advantages

The cable supports Cat.7 transmission characteristics while using U/UTP topology to maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. Stranded conductors improve flexibility for frequent bending and routing in patch panels or behind desks. Pre-terminated RJ45 connectors allow immediate plug-and-play installation without additional tooling. The neutral grey jacket offers discreet integration into professional and residential spaces and helps with visual cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches, routers and patch panels in small racks
• Patching server cabinet ports to top-of-rack or desk-side equipment
• Office workstation and home network device connections
• Temporary or frequently changed network layouts where flexibility is required

Key specifications

• Category: Class F (Cat.7) performance level
• Topology: U/UTP (overall unshielded cable with unshielded pairs)
• Conductor type: stranded conductors for flexibility
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends, factory-terminated
• Cable length: 3 metres
• Jacket color: grey
• Intended use: Ethernet data transmission, patching and device interconnects

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of the network device and the other end into the corresponding switch, router or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain bend radius appropriate for stranded patch cables and avoid kinking. For neat installation, use cable management accessories such as Velcro straps or horizontal managers, and avoid placing the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the 3 m ShiverPeaks Cat.7 patch cable for short interconnects within racks, between desks and nearby equipment. Inspect connectors before installation, replace if pins appear bent or contacts corroded, and avoid exposure to solvents or excessive heat. While U/UTP topology provides performance at higher frequencies, maintain proper routing and separation from strong electromagnetic sources to preserve signal quality.
