Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41036-4 1.5m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41036-4 1.5m Cat8.1 F/FTP networking cable provides a short, shielded connection for high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. Designed to meet Cat8.1 standards, this 1.5 metre cable uses F/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to deliver reliable signal integrity and reduced interference over short runs. The cable is suitable for applications that require high bandwidth and low latency between network devices.

Advantages

The F/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually foil-shielded pairs, improving protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in environments with many electronic devices. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance for reliable long-term connectivity. The 1.5m length provides a compact solution for connecting devices within racks, between nearby switches, or for tidy desk setups where excess cable is undesirable.

Suitable for

• Short-run connections between switches and patch panels in data cabinets
• Direct device-to-device links such as PC to switch or NAS to router within the same room
• High-bandwidth applications including 10GbE and multi-gigabit local networks (short distances)

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1.5 m

How to use

Connect one end of the ShiverPeaks Cat8.1 cable to the RJ-45 port of the source device and the other end to the destination device, ensuring connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. For optimal performance keep the cable run short and avoid tight bends or kinks; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for shielded twisted-pair cables. When routing near power lines or heavy electrical equipment, use shielded ports and grounded network equipment to maximise EMI protection.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, high-speed links where Cat8.1 performance and enhanced shielding are required. Verify that connected devices and network equipment support the intended link speeds and that proper grounding is in place to take full advantage of the F/FTP shielding.
