Networking cable ShiverPeaks S/CONN SC08-41045-4 Cat8.1 F/FTP (FFTP) 3 m RJ-45 to RJ-45, 40GBase-T, black

ShiverPeaks S/CONN SC08-41045-4 is a 3 m Cat8.1 networking cable with F/FTP (also known as FFTP) shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Designed for 40GBase-T cabling technology, the cable supports up to 40,000 Mbit/s data transfer and is intended for high-speed LAN, data center patching and server-to-switch connections. The black jacket provides a neutral, professional look while the shielding improves resistance to electromagnetic interference in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

The F/FTP shielding (foil overall with individually foiled pairs) limits crosstalk and external EMI, which helps maintain signal integrity at high transmission rates. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure stable contact and corrosion resistance over time. With a 3 m length, the cable is suitable for short to medium patching runs in racks and workstations. Compliance with Cat8.1 performance parameters makes it compatible with 40GBase-T systems and other high-bandwidth network equipment.

Suitable for

• 40GBase-T server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data centers
• High-speed LAN backbone patching and rack interconnects
• Workspace connections where short, shielded high-bandwidth links are required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Supported technology: 40GBase-T
• Maximum data rate: up to 40,000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port on your server, switch or network device and the other connector to the corresponding port on the opposite device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas with strong electromagnetic sources; keep the installed length within the specified 3 m to retain rated performance.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short patching runs in racks and cabinets where shielded connections improve reliability. Avoid excessive bending radii and tight cable ties; maintain separation from unshielded power cabling where possible. For permanent horizontal cabling longer than 3 m, select a cable with an appropriate length and installation specifications.
