Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41076-4 Cat8.1 F/FTP 10m White

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41076-4 Cat8.1 F/FTP networking cable in white is a 10 m RJ-45 patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and point-to-point connections. Built to Cat8.1 standard with F/FTP shielding, this cable supports dense signal environments and provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference. The cable's 10 metre length and standard terminated RJ-45 connectors make it suitable for rack-to-switch, switch-to-server and in-room high-bandwidth connections where minimal signal loss and stable throughput are required.

Advantages

The F/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually foiled pairs to reduce crosstalk and external interference, delivering consistent performance in congested installations. Compliance with Cat8.1 characteristics ensures suitability for 25/40 Gbps Ethernet over copper at short distances, while the RJ-45 terminations maintain compatibility with common network equipment. The 10 m length offers flexibility for typical data centre and office links without the need for additional couplers.

Suitable for

• High-bandwidth connections between switches, servers and uplinks
• Data centre short-reach copper links and equipment interconnects
• Office networks requiring interference-resistant Patch cabling
• Home labs and testing setups for 25G/40G-capable hardware

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 8.1 (Cat8.1)
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil + individually foiled pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 10 metres
• Color: White
• Intended use: Ethernet data transmission, short-reach high-speed links

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device port and the other to the corresponding switch, server or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched to maintain a stable link. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends, kinks and tight bundling with power cables; maintain recommended bend radius and routing practices typical for shielded Ethernet cabling. Verify link speed and duplex in connected equipment settings after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the cable away from strong EMI sources and maintain proper grounding of shielded components where applicable. Use this Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for short-reach, high-throughput links up to the cable’s supported distance for 25G/40G over copper; for longer runs or different bandwidth requirements, consult appropriate cabling standards and network planning guidelines.
