Network cable ShiverPeaks 08-35066 Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable, shielded, 8P8C connector

The ShiverPeaks 08-35066 Cat 7 U/UTP RJ45 patch cable is a shielded network cable engineered for reliable high-speed LAN connections. Featuring 8P8C (RJ45) connectors and a shielded-pair construction, this patch cable is intended for structured cabling environments where reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity are required. It is suitable for short to medium run installations in server rooms, workstations and network distribution points and supports gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet links.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat 7 category and shielded pair design provide enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference and near-end crosstalk compared with lower-category UTP cables. Gold-plated contacts on the 8P8C connectors ensure stable contact and corrosion resistance for long-term connectivity. The cable construction balances flexibility and mechanical durability to allow neat routing in rack and desk environments while maintaining consistent signal performance.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and data closets
• Server room patch panels and switches
• Workstation and desktop network connections
• Gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet links over short to medium distances

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 7
• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ45) on both ends
• Shielding: shielded pair construction (U/UTP with overall shielding)
• Suitable for: gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet
• Typical use-case lengths: short to medium runs (patching and intra-rack connections)
• Cable color: white

How to use

Uncoil the cable and verify both 8P8C connectors are clean and intact before installation. Plug each end firmly into the appropriate RJ45 ports on network devices such as switches, patch panels or network interface cards. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; leave service loops where needed for future moves. For mounted patch panels or racks, use cable management accessories to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat 7 patch cable for in-building short to medium patching and direct connections between network equipment. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and maintain recommended bend radius to preserve shielding and signal quality.
