Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41032 Yellow 2m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41032 Yellow 2m Cat8.1 F/FTP networking cable is a high-speed Ethernet link designed for demanding network environments. Built to Cat8.1 specification with F/FTP shielding and precision RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts, this 2-meter cable supports data transfer rates up to 40,000 Mbit/s and is intended for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections where signal integrity and low interference are required. The bright yellow jacket improves visibility for cable management and makes the cable easy to identify in crowded racks or workspaces.

Advantages

F/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving transmission stability in electrically noisy environments. The Cat8.1 specification and quality construction enable multi-gigabit and 40GBASE-T capable links over short runs. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance for long-term performance. The 2 m length balances reach and minimal latency, while the colored jacket simplifies identification and organized routing.

Suitable for

• High-speed connections between servers, switches, and patch panels in data centers
• Workstations or network devices requiring multi-gigabit Ethernet over short distances
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred
• Visible cable routing in racks, offices, or media installations for easy identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: F/FTP (foil overall with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 40,000 Mbit/s
• Cable jacket color: Yellow

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 connectors to the Ethernet ports of compatible network devices such as switches, routers, network interface cards, or patch panels. Ensure both ends are fully seated until the connector latch clicks to establish a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Use this cable for short runs up to 2 meters where Cat8.1 performance is required; avoid excessive bending or strain on the cable and maintain proper grounding of shielded network equipment to realize full shielding benefits.

Recommendations

For best results, use the cable within supported short-distance topologies typical for Cat8.1 deployments, keep cable bends above the minimum bend radius, and terminate into shielded connectors and equipment to preserve the F/FTP shielding effectiveness. Label or color-code both ends when integrating into existing infrastructure to maintain clear identification and streamline maintenance.
