Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41010-2 0.5m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41010-2 0.5m Cat8.1 F/FTP networking cable is designed for short-link high-speed Ethernet connections. Compliant with Cat8.1 specifications, this half-metre cable supports high-frequency data transmission while minimizing crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference through its F/FTP (foil shielded, individually foil-twisted pairs) construction. The cable uses standard RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to ensure consistent contact quality and low contact resistance for demanding network setups.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 F/FTP cable delivers high bandwidth and low signal degradation over short distances, suitable for server racks, switches and high-performance workstations. Foil shielding around each twisted pair plus an overall foil shield reduces near-end crosstalk and external interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve corrosion resistance and connection reliability. The compact 0.5m length reduces cable clutter and latency in tightly packed network environments.

Suitable for

• Short cable runs between switches, routers and servers in data cabinets
• Connecting high-speed network interfaces on workstations and network appliances
• Situations requiring shielded connections to reduce EMI and crosstalk
• High-performance home labs and professional networking setups

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil + individually foil-shielded twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Application: High-frequency, short-distance Ethernet links

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connectors into compatible Ethernet ports on networking equipment until the latch clicks. Use the cable for direct connections between devices within the recommended short-distance range for Cat8.1 to achieve optimal performance. Avoid tight bends near the connector and do not subject the cable to excessive pulling or crushing forces to preserve shielding integrity and signal quality.

Recommendations

For best results, route the cable inside racks or cable management trays to maintain shielding effectiveness and limit exposure to strong electromagnetic sources. Use the 0.5m length for point-to-point connections where minimal slack is required. Verify that connected devices support the required interface speeds to utilize the cable’s bandwidth capabilities.
