Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41155-2 Cat8.1 1.5m F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41155-2 Cat8.1 1.5m F/FTP networking cable provides a short, high-performance connection for systems requiring very high data rates and strong electromagnetic interference protection. Designed to meet Category 8.1 specifications, this 1.5 metre cable uses F/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors with gold plating to support reliable signal transmission over short distances in demanding network environments.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 cable features foiled overall shielding with individually foiled pairs (F/FTP), which reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance, while the 1.5 m length offers a compact solution for rack-to-rack, switch-to-switch, or workstation connections where excess cable is undesired. The construction is intended to support high-frequency signals and stable performance in high-density installations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance server and switch interconnections in data centres and network racks
• High-speed desktop and workstation connections requiring low latency
• Environments with significant electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is needed
• Home or office setups that require future-proof wiring for 25/40 Gbps applications over short runs

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 compliant for high-frequency performance
• Length: 1.5 metres
• Shielding: F/FTP — overall foil with individually foiled pairs
• Connectors: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity
• Intended use: short-run high-speed Ethernet connections (suitable for multi-gigabit speeds)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of a switch, router, or network interface card and the other end to the corresponding device port. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius to preserve shielding integrity and signal quality. For installations in racks, route the cable alongside other shielded cables where possible and secure using non-constricting cable ties or Velcro straps.

Recommendations

Use this Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for short, high-throughput connections where shielding is required. Verify that connected equipment supports the targeted multi-gigabit speeds and that cable runs remain within recommended distances for Cat8.1 performance. For longer runs or different installation conditions, choose an appropriate cable category and shielding scheme.
