Networking Cable S/CONN 08-40151 Blue 1.5 m Cat8 S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-40151 Blue 1.5 m Cat8 S/FTP is a high-performance Ethernet cable designed for environments that require very high data throughput and strong interference protection. With Cat8 specification and S/FTP shielding, this cable supports multi-gigabit connections and reduces electromagnetic interference, while RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts ensure consistent signal transfer. The 1.5 m length and blue jacket make it suitable for short to medium patching runs in office racks, home networks, or equipment interconnects.

Advantages

Cat8 performance provides support for high-frequency transmission suitable for multi-gigabit and low-latency applications. S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually braided shields for each pair, improving noise immunity in electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce contact resistance and corrosion risk, contributing to stable connection quality. The 1.5 m length minimizes excess cable clutter while remaining long enough for common patching needs.

Suitable for

• Server room patch panels and short rack-to-rack connections
• High-speed workstations and NAS devices requiring multi-gigabit links
• Home or office network segments where interference immunity is important
• Connections between switches, routers, and network appliances in tight layouts

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8 performance class supporting high-frequency transmission
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil shield with individually shielded twisted pairs
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity
• Length: 1.5 metres suitable for short patching and equipment interconnects
• Jacket colour: Blue for easy cable identification

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of your network device (switch, router, NAS, or network card) and the other end to the corresponding port of the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to confirm a stable mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tension, or sources of heat; keep the cable within recommended bend radius for Ethernet cables to preserve performance. For rack installations, use appropriate cable management to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use this Cat8 S/FTP cable for short, high-performance links where interference rejection and multi-gigabit capability are required. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines to reduce residual interference. Periodically inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible wear.
