Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41046-4 Cat8.1 3m F/FTP White

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41046-4 Cat8.1 3m F/FTP White is a high-performance network cable designed for demanding wired connections in home and office environments. This 3-meter cable supports Cat8.1 specifications and uses F/FTP (foil over each pair with overall foil) shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Equipped with RJ-45 connectors and gold-plated contacts, the cable provides stable, low-loss connections for high-speed data transmission and reliable signal integrity.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat8.1 compliance enables significantly higher bandwidth compared with lower-category cables, suitable for modern high-throughput applications. F/FTP shielding improves resistance to external interference and maintains consistent performance in environments with multiple electronic devices. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce corrosion and enhance long-term contact reliability. The 3 m length offers a balance between flexibility and reach for desk, rack, or patch-panel connections.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections between switches, routers, and servers
• Patch connections in data cabinets and server rooms
• Professional workstations and home office setups requiring low latency
• Applications demanding improved EMI protection and signal stability

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 performance level for high bandwidth
• Length: 3 meters
• Shielding: F/FTP — foil overall and foil around individual pairs
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Color: White exterior jacket

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding network port on devices such as routers, switches, network interface cards, or patch panels. Ensure connectors fully seat with a click and avoid bending the cable sharply near the ends to prevent stress on the shielding and conductors. For best performance, route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and do not exceed recommended bend radius. Periodically inspect the connectors for dirt or damage and clean or replace if contact reliability is compromised.

Recommendations

For optimal throughput, use the cable for short to medium runs up to its 3 m length between equipment in the same rack or between nearby network devices. When deploying in environments with many electrical cables or radio-frequency equipment, maintain proper separation and use shielded ports or grounded patch panels to preserve the benefits of F/FTP shielding.
