Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41024 Red 1m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41024 Red 1m Cat8.1 F/FTP is a high-performance Ethernet cable engineered for environments that require very high data throughput and strong protection against electromagnetic interference. At 1 meter length and Cat8.1 specification, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and is built with F/FTP shielding to minimise crosstalk and external noise. The cable uses RJ-45 connectors with gold plating to ensure stable contact and corrosion resistance while maintaining consistent signal integrity.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 F/FTP cable delivers very high bandwidth suitable for modern network backbones and short-distance high-speed links. The combination of foil shielding and individually shielded pairs reduces interference from adjacent cables and external sources, improving overall signal stability. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs provide durable contacts that resist oxidation and help maintain low contact resistance over time. The compact 1 m length reduces excess cabling and clutter in rack, desk, or server environments, and the red jacket offers clear visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance high-speed links between network switches, servers, and patch panels
• Data centre top-of-rack and equipment interconnects requiring high bandwidth
• Professional home lab and small server room installations
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is important

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Length: 1 m
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold plating
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs
• Cable jacket colour: red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug into the Ethernet port of your network device and the other plug to the corresponding port on the switch, server or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radius recommendations associated with twisted-pair cables to preserve performance. For best results in shielded system installations, connect shield termination at appropriate chassis or connector points according to your grounding and cabling standards.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for short, high-speed interconnects where maximum bandwidth and reduced interference are required. Avoid running the cable alongside high-power electrical lines without proper separation, and verify that connected equipment supports the desired link speeds and Category rating for full performance.
