Networking cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41006-2 3 m Cat8.1 F/FTP (FFTP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 Gold contacts

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41006-2 3 m Cat8.1 F/FTP (FFTP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 Gold contacts networking cable is designed for short-run high-bandwidth Ethernet links. It delivers Cat8.1 performance over a 3-metre length with full pair and overall foil shielding (F/FTP), and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to maintain stable connectivity and resist corrosion. The cable is intended for use in LAN backbones, server racks and environments where signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference are important.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat8.1 specification enables transmission at high frequencies suitable for demanding network applications. F/FTP (FFTP) shielding on each twisted pair plus an overall foil layer reduces crosstalk and external interference. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve long-term contact reliability and minimize oxidation. The 3 m length provides a balance between flexibility and signal quality for short interconnects.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches, patch panels and servers in data closets or racks
• High-speed LAN links requiring minimal interference and high signal integrity
• Structured cabling segments where Cat8.1 performance is needed within a limited run

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.1
• Length: 3 m
• Shielding: F/FTP (individual pair foil + overall foil)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Intended use: High-frequency Ethernet links and short-run data connections

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or server and the other to the corresponding port on a patch panel or another network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages to establish a secure physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius where possible to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8.1 cable for links up to 3 metres in controlled rack or closet environments. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep it away from large electrical motors or fluorescent lighting fixtures. Inspect RJ-45 contacts periodically and replace the cable if connector damage or excessive wear is observed.
