Network Cable ShiverPeaks Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 Patch Cable 08-35056

ShiverPeaks Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 Patch Cable 08-35056 is a Category 7 network patch lead designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in LAN, data center and office environments. The cable features four twisted pairs arranged in U/UTP topology with an overall unshielded jacket and industry-standard RJ45 plugs at both ends, allowing compatibility with routers, switches, patch panels and servers that accept RJ45 terminations. It is intended for short-run horizontal and patching applications where Cat 7 performance is required.

Advantages

This Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable supports higher frequency ranges and improved pair performance compared with lower-category patch leads while maintaining a flexible, easy-to-install unshielded outer jacket. The cable’s construction offers reduced near-end crosstalk and consistent signal transmission across the four pairs, ensuring reliable Gigabit and multi-Gigabit Ethernet operation in compatible networks. Standard RJ45 terminations ensure broad device compatibility and straightforward integration into existing network infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and servers in LANs
• Patch panels and patch cabinets in data centers
• Office network horizontal cabling and workstation connections
• Short-run backbone links and high-speed interconnects within racks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 7 (Cat 7)
• Topology: U/UTP (unshielded overall jacket with individually twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ45 plug on both ends
• Conductor: multi-strand copper cores suitable for patching
• Colour: white
• Typical use length: patch and horizontal links (available length as sold separately)
• Data rates: supports Gigabit and multi-Gigabit Ethernet depending on network equipment

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices such as switches, routers, servers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid exposure to crushing or excessive tensile force to maintain performance. For reliable operation, use Cat 7-compatible ports and verify link speed and duplex settings on connected devices after installation.

Usage recommendations

For best results in high-density installations, keep cable runs within recommended patch lengths, separate power and data cables where possible, and avoid running the cable parallel to sources of electromagnetic interference. Test installed links with an appropriate cable tester to confirm continuity and performance prior to commissioning.
