Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75511-1.5O-SET5

The ShiverPeaks BS75511-1.5O-SET5 is a 1.5 metre Cat7 network cable with F/UTP shielding and RJ-45 to RJ-45 terminations. Designed for structured cabling and direct device connections, the cable supports high-speed Ethernet links and improved signal integrity through foil shielding. Copper-plated RJ-45 contacts provide consistent electrical contact and the bright orange jacket makes the cable easy to identify in patch panels and cabling runs.

Advantages

This Cat7 cable offers enhanced interference protection due to its foil screened unshielded twisted pair (F/UTP) design, which reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The 1.5 m length is convenient for short runs between switches, routers and wall outlets without excess slack. Copper-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable mating and signal transfer, while the coloured jacket simplifies cable management and visual identification in mixed-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Short connection between network devices such as switches, routers and desktop PCs
• Patch panel to wall outlet or rack-mounted equipment in home or small office networks
• High-speed Ethernet applications up to the capability of Cat7 cabling
• Environments where visual cable identification is useful (orange jacket)

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for short-distance connections; longer runs will require appropriately rated cables of greater length and may need different shielding depending on installation. It uses F/UTP shielding which protects against external interference but does not provide individual pair shielding; installations that require S/FTP (individual pair shielding with an overall braid) should select an alternative cable type.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7
• Length: 1.5 m
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil screened overall, twisted pairs unshielded)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with copper-plated contacts
• Jacket colour: Orange

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends near the connectors and keep the cable away from heavy sources of electromagnetic interference such as large transformers or unshielded power lines. Use cable ties or velcro straps to route and secure the cable without compressing the jacket.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your installation to avoid excess slack
• Shielding type needed for your environment (F/UTP vs S/FTP)
• Compatibility of Cat7 performance with your network hardware
• Colour preference for cable identification and aesthetics

Usage recommendations

Use this 1.5 m Cat7 cable for reliable short links within racks, between desktop equipment and patch panels, or to connect devices where a clearly visible orange cable aids in identification. Periodically inspect connectors for secure seating and avoid prolonged exposure to mechanical stress to maintain signal quality.
