networking cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41025 Black 1 m Cat8 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41025 Black 1 m Cat8 F/FTP networking cable provides a short, high-performance connection for devices requiring very high data rates and low latency. Constructed for Cat8 environments with F/FTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts ensure consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Its 1 m length and discreet black jacket make it suitable for compact setups where a direct, reliable link is needed.

Advantages

F/FTP shielding around the pairs and an overall foil shield offer improved protection against external noise sources compared with lower-category cables. The Cat8 specification supports higher frequencies and data throughput for demanding network tasks. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors deliver stable signal transfer and longer connector life. The compact 1 m length minimizes excess cable clutter and maintains signal integrity across short runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting high-speed switches, routers and network interface cards in small racks or desktop setups
• Direct links between gaming PCs, consoles and modems for reduced latency
• Short patch runs in home offices and professional workstations where Cat8 performance is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8 performance class suitable for high-frequency signal transmission
• Shielding: F/FTP — overall foil shield plus individually foil-shielded twisted pairs
• Length: 1 meter (short patch cable for direct device connections)
• Connectors: RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Conductor type: twisted-pair copper conductors (solid or stranded construction dependent on specific cable build)
• Jacket color: black, flexible outer sheath for standard installation and neat appearance

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your source device (router, switch or network card) and the other connector into the target device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click to guarantee proper contact. For best performance keep the 1 m cable run free from tight bends and avoid sharp kinks; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for twisted-pair cables. When installing near equipment that emits strong electromagnetic fields, route the cable to minimize parallel runs alongside power lines.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat8 F/FTP cable for short, high-performance links where shielding and high-frequency capability matter. Verify that connected network equipment supports the desired throughput and that patch panels or keystone jacks used in the path are rated for Cat8 or compatible higher-speed categories to preserve end-to-end performance.
