Networking cable ShiverPeaks S/CONN 08-41035 Cat8.1 F/FTP 2 m RJ-45 gold-plated contacts black

ShiverPeaks S/CONN 08-41035 Cat8.1 F/FTP 2 m is a high-performance networking cable designed for demanding wired Ethernet connections. The cable features Cat8.1 specification with F/FTP (also known as FFTP) shielding around each twisted pair plus an overall foil shield, and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts. At 2 meters length and finished in black, it is intended for use in environments where high data rates, minimal electromagnetic interference and stable link quality are required.

Advantages

The F/FTP shielding construction reduces crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity in congested or electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide better corrosion resistance and consistent electrical contact over time. Conforming to Cat8.1 performance characteristics, the cable supports higher bandwidths and shorter latency compared with lower-category copper cables, making it suitable for modern network equipment that demands reliable wired performance.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links between switches, routers and servers
• Data center patching and short-run connections
• Workstation or home office setups requiring low-interference wired connections
• Environments with significant electromagnetic noise where shielded cables are needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil + foil around each pair)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Length: 2 m
• Color: Black
• Typical use: Ethernet, data center and professional network applications

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 connectors to the appropriate Ethernet ports on your network devices, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted and the latch is engaged. Use this 2 m cable for direct links between nearby network components such as switches, routers, servers or wall outlets. When routing the cable, avoid tight bends and excessive tension to preserve shielding and pair integrity. For installation in patch panels or racks, verify connector alignment and secure cable where required to prevent strain on the termination points.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for short to medium runs where high bandwidth and low interference are priorities. Maintain gentle bend radii, avoid routing alongside high-voltage power lines when possible, and check connectors periodically for secure seating to sustain reliable network performance.
