Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41005-4 Cat8.1 F/FTP 0.25m

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41005-4 Cat8.1 F/FTP 0.25m is a short patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. It supports the Cat8.1 standard and uses F/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. The cable is terminated with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and is intended for reliable, low-latency links between devices in rack, switch, or patch panel setups.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 cable provides a compact, low-capacitance connection suitable for short-distance high-bandwidth transmissions. The F/FTP shield (foil over each pair plus an overall foil) helps maintain signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and resist corrosion, while the short 0.25 m length minimizes unnecessary cable slack and reduces crosstalk in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches, patch panels, and servers in racks
• High-bandwidth links for data centers and server rooms
• Connections where reduced latency and high signal integrity are required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: F/FTP (foil over overall and individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connector type: RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Intended use: Short patch cable for high-speed networks

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs to the corresponding ports on network devices such as switches, patch panels, or servers. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the cable for short runs where a direct link is needed; avoid tight bends near the connectors and maintain the cable within its minimum bend radius to preserve performance. When installing in shielded environments, make sure connected equipment provides proper grounding for the cable shield.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 0.25 m Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for direct device-to-device connections in racks or patch panels rather than long runs. Verify that network equipment supports Cat8 or compatible high-frequency operation to realize the full capabilities of the cable, and ensure proper shield termination to benefit from the F/FTP construction.
