SHIVERPEAKS BS08-85507 Cat 8 S/FTP LSZH Installation Cable, 2000 MHz, Blue, 50 m

Professional Cat 8 installation cable engineered for high-density data center and enterprise network infrastructures, delivering up to 40 Gbps over 30 meters with a 2000 MHz bandwidth. The S/FTP shielding—braided overall screen plus per-pair foil—ensures superior immunity to EMI and alien crosstalk, while the LSZH jacket provides excellent fire safety with low smoke and zero halogen emissions. This 50-meter blue bulk cable is perfect for permanent indoor runs where performance and safety are paramount.

Advantages

The SHIVERPEAKS BS08-85507 offers exceptional transmission stability for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T applications. Its S/FTP construction virtually eliminates interference, making it ideal for environments with high electromagnetic noise. The LSZH jacket not only meets stringent fire safety standards (IEC 60332-1-2) but also reduces toxic fumes in case of fire, protecting people and equipment. With 100 Ohm impedance and support for PoE up to PoE++, this cable simplifies deployment of powered devices without additional cabling.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring 25/40 Gigabit Ethernet links
• Enterprise backbone cabling and horizontal distribution
• High-density patching areas with PoE++ devices (e.g., pan-tilt-zoom cameras, wireless access points)
• Indoor installations in public buildings, hospitals, and schools where LSZH is mandatory
• Professional installers needing a reliable, standards-compliant bulk cable
