Network cable ShiverPeaks Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable model 08-35055

ShiverPeaks Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable model 08-35055 is a Category 7 network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. The cable uses U/UTP construction with unshielded twisted pairs inside an overall sheath to provide consistent performance for LAN links, patch panels, switches and routers in office and data centre environments. The black 5 m length makes it suitable for typical rack-to-device and workstation connections.

Advantages

The Cat 7 specification supports higher bandwidths and improved crosstalk performance compared with lower categories, helping to maintain signal integrity over short to medium patch runs. The RJ45 terminations provide compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and the 5 m length offers flexibility for common cable routing without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and routers within racks and cabinets
• LAN wiring between wall outlets and desktop devices
• Office and small data centre patch cabling where Cat 7 performance is desired

When it may not be suitable

This U/UTP Cat 7 cable uses unshielded pairs under an overall sheath; in environments with strong electromagnetic interference or where individual pair shielding is required, a fully shielded cable (S/FTP or F/FTP) may be preferable. For very long runs beyond typical patch lengths, consider in-wall rated or fibre solutions designed for extended distances.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 7
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall sheath)
• Connector: RJ45 plugs
• Colour: Black
• Length: 5 m

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of a switch, router, patch panel or device and the other end into the corresponding port. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For rack installations, secure excess length with cable ties or organisers to maintain tidy cable management and prevent strain on connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that Cat 7 performance is needed versus Cat 6/6A for your network requirements
• Check whether individual pair shielding is required for your installation environment
• Confirm the 5 m length suits your planned cable routing

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable for short to medium-length connections within racks and office networks; avoid installing it in exposed outdoor or high-EMI environments where shielded or in-wall rated cabling would be more appropriate.
