ShiverPeaks Cat7 S/FTP Duplex Network Cable 1,000 MHz, 500 m

ShiverPeaks Cat7 S/FTP Duplex Network Cable 1,000 MHz, 500 m is a shielded installation cable intended for structured cabling where high bandwidth and reduced electromagnetic interference are required. The cable supplies two individually foiled pairs inside an overall braided shield (S/FTP), supporting up to 1,000 MHz frequency and supplied on a 500 m spool. It is designed for use in backbone segments, server rooms, and high-performance local area networks that demand reliable high-speed Ethernet and data transmission.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction with an overall braid plus individually foiled pairs minimizes crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, helping to maintain signal integrity across long runs. A 1,000 MHz bandwidth rating supports high data throughput and future-proofing for demanding network protocols. Supplied on a continuous 500 m spool, the duplex cable is suited for professional installation runs and reduces the need for frequent joins or intermediate splicing.

Suitable for

• Backbone cabling in commercial or industrial buildings
• Server rooms and data centres requiring high-performance links
• High-speed Ethernet and aggregated LAN segments
• Structured cabling installations where EMI shielding is necessary

When it may not be suitable

This cable is a professional-grade installation product and may be oversized for simple home networks or short patch runs where Cat5e or Cat6 solutions suffice. It is intended as an installation (in-wall or routed) cable and may require termination, connectors, and professional tools; it is not a pre-terminated patch cable ready for immediate plug-and-play use.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7 (Class F)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield plus individually foiled pairs)
• Bandwidth: up to 1,000 MHz
• Configuration: duplex (two conductors/pairs per route as supplied on spool)
• Length: 500 m spool

How to use

Install the ShiverPeaks Cat7 S/FTP cable as part of structured cabling runs following local building and fire codes. Route the cable along designated cable trays, conduits, or within walls, avoiding tight bends and mechanical stress. Terminate the cable with suitable Cat7-compatible connectors or keystone jacks that support S/FTP shielding and maintain the cable's shield continuity to grounding points where required. Use appropriate tools for stripping, foiling management, and connector assembly to preserve performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that Cat7 performance (1,000 MHz shielding) is required for your network design
• Ensure installers have compatible termination hardware and grounding provisions for S/FTP cable
• Verify that a 500 m spool length matches the planned run lengths to minimize waste

Usage recommendations

For best results, maintain proper bend radius, keep separation from power cabling where possible, and ensure shield continuity to grounded panels or racks. Test installed links with certification tools rated for Cat7/Class F to confirm performance up to 1,000 MHz.
