Netwerkkabel shiverpeaks BASIC-S 0,5 m Cat7 S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BASIC-S networking cable is a 0.5 m Cat7 S/FTP patch cable designed for short-distance connections where high bandwidth and interference protection are required. Equipped with standard RJ-45 plugs featuring gold-plated contacts, the cable supports high-speed data transmission and reliable contact performance. The S/FTP construction combines individual pair foil shielding with an overall braided shield to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The cable's bright orange jacket provides clear visual identification in crowded cable runs and structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The Cat7 S/FTP design offers enhanced shielding compared with lower-category cables, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple electrical or networked devices. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent conductivity and resistance to corrosion over time. The 0.5 m length is suited for short patching tasks, reducing cable slack and improving airflow around equipment racks. The durable outer jacket and factory-terminated connectors provide a ready-to-use solution that requires no on-site termination.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices within a rack or between adjacent ports on switches and patch panels
• Short patch runs behind desktop setups, media players, or gaming consoles
• Environments where EMI/RFI protection is important, such as near power supplies or electronic equipment
• Structured cabling installations that use color-coding for easy identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil + overall braided shield)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Jacket color: Orange
• Typical applications: Data networks, Ethernet up to supported Cat7 speeds

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks into place to ensure a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m cable for short-distance links where minimized cable length is desirable—example placements include connections between adjacent switch ports, from a router to a nearby patch panel, or between a wall outlet and a desktop device. Avoid sharp bends at the connector ends and maintain the manufacturer's recommended bend radius to preserve shielding and transmission performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat7 S/FTP cable in shielded or grounded network environments to ensure the shielding is effective. Label both ends when deploying multiple cables to simplify maintenance. If connecting to devices that do not support shield termination, verify that the equipment ground or connector design allows proper shielding continuity.
