Networking Cable S/CONN 08-41002 Yellow 0.25m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-41002 Yellow 0.25m Cat8.1 F/FTP is a short patch cable engineered for high-speed, low-latency data links in confined setups. Compliant with Cat8.1 performance parameters and featuring F/FTP (foil shielding around individual pairs plus an overall foil), this 0.25 meter cable reduces electromagnetic interference and near-end crosstalk for more reliable signal transmission. Both ends terminate in standard RJ-45 connectors, enabling plug-and-play compatibility with switches, routers, servers and network interface cards where a compact, visible connection is required.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat8.1 specification supports higher bandwidth and improved signal integrity compared with lower category patch cords, while the F/FTP construction provides layered shielding to mitigate external interference. Its 0.25 m length minimizes excess cable slack in dense rack or desktop environments and the yellow jacket improves visibility for identification and cable management. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure broad device compatibility and simple installation without adapters.

Suitable for

• Short connections between network equipment in server racks and patch panels
• Desktop or workstation links where space is limited
• High-bandwidth local connections for switches, routers and NAS devices
• Environments where cable identification and organized cabling is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 performance class for high-frequency signal transmission
• Shielding: F/FTP — overall foil plus individually shielded pairs
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends for Ethernet compatibility
• Length: 0.25 meter for compact routing and minimal slack
• Jacket color: yellow for visual identification and cable management

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device and the other into the corresponding port on your switch, patch panel or router. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure electrical and mechanical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends; maintain the cable’s bend radius and avoid placing it parallel to large power cables to preserve shielding effectiveness and signal quality.

Recommendations

Use this short Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for intra-rack connections, short links in dense cabinet layouts or visible runs requiring color-coding. For longer runs or installations crossing high-interference areas, select appropriately longer, shielded cables and verify end-to-end system compatibility with Cat8.1 performance levels.
