Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41002-4 Cat8.1 0.25m F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41002-4 Cat8.1 0.25m F/FTP networking cable is designed for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections between network devices. Compliant with Cat8.1 specifications, this 0.25 meter cable uses F/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to reduce interference and improve contact reliability. It is intended for use where minimal latency and maximum throughput are required within racks, patch panels, switches and network interface cards in home, office or data center environments.

Advantages

F/FTP shielding provides foil around each pair plus an overall foil, offering strong protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense cabling environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve corrosion resistance and maintain a stable electrical contact over repeated insertions. The short 0.25 m length reduces signal attenuation and is suitable for direct device-to-device connections where space is limited. Compliance with Cat8.1 standards ensures support for very high frequencies and faster data rates compared with lower category cables.

Suitable for

• Connecting patch panels to switches or transceivers in server racks
• Direct links between network equipment with adjacent ports
• High-speed LAN setups in offices and home networks
• Connections requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and stable throughput

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1, suitable for high-frequency Ethernet applications
• Length: 0.25 m for short-range connections
• Shielding: F/FTP — overall foil plus individually foiled pairs
• Connectors: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts for improved corrosion resistance
• Primary use: copper twisted-pair cable for Ethernet networks

How to use

Insert the gold-plated RJ-45 plug into the corresponding RJ-45 port on network devices until it clicks into place to ensure a secure connection. Use the cable for short, point-to-point links such as patching between a switch and a transceiver or connecting adjacent ports within a rack. Avoid excessive bending or kinking near the connector strain relief; maintain recommended bend radius for optimal signal integrity. For installations in electrically noisy environments, ensure proper grounding of connected equipment to complement the cable's shielding.

Recommendations

Use this 0.25 m Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for direct, short-distance connections where high throughput and minimal interference are required. For longer runs, select appropriately rated longer cables; for outdoor or exposed installations choose cables with additional environmental protection. Verify that connected devices and network components support the performance level required for Cat8.1 links.
