SHIVERPEAKS BS08-41064-2 Cat8.1 F/FTP Network Cable, Red, 7.5 m, 40 Gbps, RJ45, Gold-Plated Contacts

High-speed data centers and server rooms demand cabling that can keep pace with 40 Gigabit Ethernet without interference or signal loss. The SHIVERPEAKS BS08-41064-2 Cat8.1 network cable delivers exactly that, with a 7.5 m reach and robust F/FTP shielding that blocks crosstalk and EMI, ensuring every packet arrives intact even in dense rack environments.

Who is it for

Network administrators, IT professionals, and system integrators who need reliable, high-bandwidth connections for 25G/40G Ethernet, PoE++ devices, or future-proof infrastructure. Ideal for data centers, server rooms, and high-performance workstation setups where maximum throughput and stability are non-negotiable.

Main features

• Cat8.1 performance: supports up to 40 Gbit/s data transfer and 2000 MHz bandwidth, far exceeding Cat6a and Cat7.
• F/FTP shielding: each twisted pair is individually foiled, plus an overall foil shield, providing superior protection against alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference.
• Gold-plated RJ45 connectors: corrosion-resistant contacts ensure a reliable, low-loss connection over thousands of mating cycles.
• Stranded 24 AWG copper conductors: flexible yet durable, ideal for patch panel to switch or server connections.
• PoE++ ready: safely delivers up to 100W for power-hungry devices like pan-tilt-zoom cameras, LED lighting, and high-performance access points.
• Durable red PVC jacket: easy to identify in crowded racks, flame-retardant, and resistant to everyday wear.

Tips

For best performance, pair this cable with Cat8.1 rated keystone jacks and patch panels. Avoid sharp bends (minimum bend radius of 4x cable diameter) to maintain signal integrity. Use the red colour to segment critical links or differentiate between VLANs for easier troubleshooting.
