Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41070 10m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41070 10m Cat8.1 F/FTP networking cable is designed for high-bandwidth wired connections in professional and home network environments. This grey cable supports Cat8.1 performance with fully shielded F/FTP construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors plated in gold, the cable is prepared for high-speed data transmission and low contact resistance, supporting theoretical transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and bandwidth suited to modern 10/25/40 Gbps network equipment.

Advantages

The cable’s F/FTP shielding encloses each twisted pair as well as an overall foil shield, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or nearby electronic equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide corrosion resistance and reliable contact for repeated plug cycles. With a 10-meter length and sturdy outer jacket, the cable balances reach and flexibility for rack-to-desk or inter-rack connections while maintaining Category 8.1 electrical characteristics.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centers and server rack interconnects
• 10/25/40 Gbps network switches and network interface cards
• Workstations requiring low-latency wired connections for large file transfers
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold plating
• Length: 10 meters
• Color: Grey
• Maximum theoretical data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Suitable bandwidth: supports frequencies and bandwidth targets for multi-gigabit networking

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device such as a switch or router and the other end to the destination device such as a server, NAS or workstation. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for high-frequency shielded cables. When connecting to equipment racks, use appropriate cable management to prevent strain on connectors and preserve shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for short- to medium-distance links in structured cabling runs up to the cable’s intended length, and pair with compatible shielded network ports and proper grounding. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and check connectors periodically for signs of wear if frequently replugged.
