Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41011 0.5m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41011 0.5m Cat8.1 F/FTP networking cable is designed for short-range, high-speed Ethernet connections. Compliant with Cat8.1 standard, this half-meter cable provides reliable data transmission up to 40000 Mbit/s. The F/FTP construction uses an overall foil shield combined with individually foil-shielded pairs to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts ensure stable connectivity and corrosion resistance for frequent plug cycles.

Advantages

High bandwidth capability and Cat8.1 compliance make the cable suitable for modern data centers and high-performance network segments. The F/FTP shielding improves signal integrity in environments with active electronic equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors support consistent low-resistance contacts, while the 0.5 m length minimizes signal loss and clutter in compact installations.

Suitable for

• Short connections between network switches and patch panels
• Direct links from servers to top-of-rack switches
• High-speed workstation or NAS connections in rack environments
• Environments with significant electromagnetic interference where additional shielding is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.1
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Intended use: Ethernet data transmission for high-frequency applications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device port and the other end to the corresponding port on the switch, server, patch panel or network interface. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure physical connection. Use the 0.5 m length for short-distance links inside racks, cabinets or close-proximity devices to maintain organized cable runs and minimize excess slack.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and avoid running the cable parallel to heavy power lines. Use this cable where short, high-bandwidth links are required — for longer runs select appropriately rated longer Cat8.1 or alternative category cables as needed.
