Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75511-1.5O-SET5

The ShiverPeaks BS75511-1.5O-SET5 is a 1.5 m Cat7 networking cable designed for high-speed local area network connections. It uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity, and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for consistent contact and reduced corrosion. The cable comes in a bright orange jacket, offering easy identification in crowded cable installations while supporting gigabit and multi-gigabit data transfer requirements.

Advantages

The Cat7 construction with S/FTP shielding helps to minimise crosstalk and external interference, improving overall transmission stability. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable contact and enhanced conductivity over time. The 1.5 m length is convenient for connecting devices within a compact workspace or behind network cabinets, and the orange color facilitates fast visual routing and fault finding in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting desktop computers, switches, routers, and patch panels within home or small office networks
• High-speed internet and data transfer with support for gigabit and multi-gigabit applications
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required, such as near power supplies or other cabling
• Situations needing clear cable identification, such as shared racks or structured cabling systems

When it may not be suitable

This 1.5 m cable is not ideal when longer runs are required; for longer distances within buildings or between rooms select a longer cable length. It is a passive copper cable and therefore not suitable as a direct substitute for fibre-optic links where extended distance or immunity to electromagnetic interference is essential.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7
• Length: 1.5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around each pair and overall braid)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Jacket colour: orange
• Typical use: Ethernet networking, patching

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of your device (computer, switch, router or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding network equipment. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it separate from high-voltage power lines where possible to maintain signal integrity. For patch-panel installations, use the 1.5 m length for short links between equipment and cabinet patch ports.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required cable length for your installation; 1.5 m is suited for short connections
• Check that your equipment accepts RJ-45 Ethernet cabling and the performance needs align with Cat7 specifications
• Decide if the orange jacket colour fits your cabling scheme or if a different colour is preferable
• Consider whether shielded cable is necessary in your environment to reduce interference

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid kinking or tightly coiling the cable, keep it away from mains power cables, and use the 1.5 m length for short, direct connections between devices and patch panels or switches. Periodically inspect connector contacts and cable jacket for damage to ensure reliable network operation.
