Networking cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41045-2 Cat8.1 F/FTP (FFTP) 2 m RJ-45 gold-plated contacts black

ShiverPeaks BS08-41045-2 is a 2 m Cat8.1 networking cable with F/FTP (FFTP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Gold-plated contacts enhance corrosion resistance and signal transfer, while the Cat8.1 specification supports very high data rates and improved noise immunity. The cable is intended for professional network environments such as data centers, server rooms and high-performance LAN installations where low interference and stable connections are required.

Advantages

The F/FTP (FFTP) construction combines an overall foil shield with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts provide reliable mating, lower contact resistance and improved long-term signal integrity. The 2 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-switch connections without excessive cable slack. The cable jacket in black provides a neutral appearance suitable for professional installations.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High-speed Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Connections between switches, routers and network appliances
• Professional LAN setups requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Short-distance, high-bandwidth links for servers and storage systems

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Length: 2 meters
• Color: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of a switch, router, server or network appliance, and the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks for a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight loops and sources of strong electromagnetic interference to maintain optimal signal performance. For rack installations, allow enough slack to prevent stress on connectors and maintain proper airflow.

Recommendations

Use this Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for short to medium interconnects where high bandwidth and reduced interference are critical. Avoid repeated extreme bending near the connector and keep the cable away from unshielded power cables to minimize possible noise coupling.
