S/FTP Patch Cord VALUE Cat.7 Grey 2m

The VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.7 Grey 2m is a 2-metre Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and networking environments. It uses S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually foiled pairs) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends for plug-and-play connectivity. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for office, data centre or home installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction of this Cat.7 cable provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded or only foil-shielded cables, which helps maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. The cable is factory-terminated with reliable RJ-45 plugs to ensure consistent contact and easy installation. With a 2 m length it offers flexibility for connecting networking devices without excessive slack while remaining long enough for typical workstation or patch-panel connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices such as switches, routers and patch panels within racks or office desks
• High-speed Ethernet applications including 10/40 Gbps environments where Cat.7 cabling is supported
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred
• Temporary or permanent cabling runs between equipment within a single room or rack

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.7
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 plugs on both ends
• Jacket colour: Grey
• Conductor format: Twisted pairs
• Nominal use: Ethernet data transmission and network patching

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (such as a computer, switch or router) and the other connector into the destination port (patch panel or access point). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; keep it away from power cabling where possible to minimise interference. For rack installations, use cable organisers or ties to maintain tidy runs and prevent stress on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this S/FTP Cat.7 patch cord in shielded network environments and pair it with shielded ports or patch panels to preserve the shielding continuity. Avoid repeated pulling on the plug; disconnect by pressing the latch and pulling the connector body. For best performance, keep cable length within recommended segment limits for the network standard in use and replace any cable showing visible damage to the jacket or connectors.
