SHIVERPEAKS Helos Cat 8.1 F/FTP Patch Cable, 1m, Black, 25/40GBase-T, LSZH, Gold-Plated Connectors

Full copper conductors, double shielding, and gold-plated contacts deliver 25/40 Gigabit Ethernet in a slim, halogen-free jacket—this 1-metre SHIVERPEAKS Helos patch cable is engineered for high-density data centre links and high-performance workstation connections.

Overview

The SHIVERPEAKS Helos Cat 8.1 patch cable is a premium F/FTP (PiMF) network cable built for the most demanding 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T applications. Each of the four twisted pairs is individually foil-shielded, and the entire bundle is wrapped in an overall foil shield, providing exceptional immunity to alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The cable uses 26 AWG solid bare copper conductors for reliable signal integrity over short runs, and the low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket ensures safety in enclosed spaces. Both ends are terminated with RJ45 connectors featuring 50-micron gold-plated contacts for low contact resistance and long-term durability. The connectors also incorporate bend protection and latch protection to prevent damage during frequent patching. With a length of 1 metre, this cable is ideal for connecting servers, switches, and high-speed workstations in racks or on desktops.
