ShiverPeaks Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable model 08-35053 is a green, 5 m network patch lead designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in structured cabling installations. With U/UTP construction and RJ45 terminations, this Cat 7 cable is intended for use with switches, routers and patch panels in home, office and data-centre environments where reliable wired connectivity is required.
Advantages
The cable offers Cat 7 performance with unshielded U/UTP construction and standardized RJ45 plugs for compatibility with common network equipment. Its 5 m length and flexible outer sheath make it easy to route in racks, under desks or within patch cabinets while delivering stable data transmission suitable for high-bandwidth applications.
Suitable for
- Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in LAN installations
- Structured cabling in homes, offices and small data-centre racks
- High-speed Ethernet links for streaming, file transfer and VoIP
When it may not be suitable
This U/UTP Cat 7 cable lacks individual pair shielding, so it may be less appropriate in environments with strong electromagnetic interference where screened or fully shielded cables are recommended. It is also not a purpose-built outdoor cable and should not be used for direct burial or prolonged exposure to weather without additional protection.
Key specifications
- Category: Cat 7
- Construction: U/UTP (unshielded foil-twisted pairs with overall sheath)
- Connector type: RJ45 plug
- Length: 5 m
- Color: green
How to use
Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network devices such as switches, routers or patch panels. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to secure and organise runs and avoid strain on the connectors.
What to consider before purchase
- Compatibility with existing RJ45 ports and desired Ethernet speeds
- Environmental conditions—use shielded or outdoor-rated cable if needed
- Required cable length and routing constraints in your installation
Usage recommendations
For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended length limits for Ethernet and avoid tight bends. Use cable ties or organisers in patch panels and racks to minimise stress on the RJ45 plugs and maintain stable connections.
