networking cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41035 Black 2 m Cat8 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41035 Black 2 m Cat8 F/FTP networking cable is designed for high-speed wired connections. This 2-meter cable uses Category 8 construction with F/FTP (foil over overall braid plus individually foiled pairs) shielding, RJ-45 connectors and gold-plated contacts to provide stable signal transmission and reduced interference. The black jacket offers a discrete appearance suitable for home, office, or data center installations where short-run, high-bandwidth links are required.

Advantages

The F/FTP shielding minimizes crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity for demanding applications. Gold-plated contacts ensure consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance over time. Cat8 performance characteristics support higher frequency ranges and faster data rates than earlier categories, while the 2 m length reduces unnecessary slack in typical rack or desk setups. The cable's flexible outer jacket facilitates routing in tight spaces without compromising durability.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections between switches and servers over short distances
• Connecting network devices in home or small office setups requiring low latency
• Patch cabling in telecom cabinets or patch panels where shielding is needed
• Applications sensitive to electromagnetic interference such as workstations near electronic equipment

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8 cable suitable for frequencies up to 2000 MHz
• Shielding: F/FTP — overall foil with individually foiled pairs
• Length: 2 meters
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Color: black jacket
• Compatible with: 8P8C ports and standard twisted-pair Ethernet interfaces

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into compatible Ethernet ports on network devices such as routers, switches, network interface cards, or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the locking tab clicks to confirm a secure connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends near the connector ends and do not overstretch the cable. When used in shielded installations, ensure proper grounding of patch panels or chassis to benefit from the cable's F/FTP shielding.

Recommendations

Use this Cat8 F/FTP cable for short-run, high-bandwidth links where reduced interference is important. Keep cable runs within the recommended maximum for Cat8 structured links when integrating into larger cabling systems, and maintain proper grounding for shielded environments to maximize performance and reliability.
