Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41011-2 Cat8.1 0.5m F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41011-2 Cat8.1 0.5m F/FTP networking cable is a short patch cable designed for high-speed data links in demanding network environments. Compliant with Cat8.1 performance levels, it supports multi-gigabit and 25/40 Gbps class connections over short distances. The cable uses F/FTP shielding and individually foil-shielded pairs to minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 cable provides high bandwidth and low latency suitable for modern data centres, server racks and high-performance workstations. The F/FTP design reduces signal degradation and offers improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded alternatives. Its compact 0.5 m length reduces excess cable clutter and supports tidy patching in dense racks or desktop setups. Gold-plated contacts contribute to stable connections over repeated insertions.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections between switches, patch panels and servers in data centres
• High-performance home or office networks requiring 10G/25G/40G or multi-gigabit links
• Connecting network appliances, NAS devices and high-bandwidth workstations
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 performance
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Conductor type: stranded or solid copper suitable for patch applications (manufacturer-specified)
• Application: short-range high-speed Ethernet links

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of your network device and the other end to the corresponding port on the switch, router or server. Use the 0.5 m length for close-proximity patching to maintain clean cable management. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to establish a secure electrical connection. For shielded installations, confirm that connected equipment and patch panels support cable shielding and proper grounding to preserve interference protection.

Recommendations

Use this short Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for high-density patch fields, server-to-switch links and any short-distance, high-bandwidth runs where shielding and minimal cable slack are important. Pair with shielded network components and maintain proper grounding to get the full benefit of the F/FTP construction.
