Networking Cable S/CONN 08-41005 Black 0.25m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-41005 Black 0.25m Cat8.1 F/FTP is a short patch cable designed for high-frequency Ethernet connections. It complies with Cat8.1 performance characteristics and uses F/FTP (foil shielding around each pair plus an overall foil) to reduce electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors for plug-and-play installation in switches, patch panels, servers and network devices where compact, reliable links are required.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 cable offers high bandwidth capability and low crosstalk thanks to pair-level foil shielding combined with an overall foil shield. The 0.25 m length minimises signal attenuation in short runs and reduces cable clutter in dense rack or desktop environments. RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports, while the black jacket provides a discreet, professional appearance suitable for visible installations.

Suitable for

• Short intra-rack connections between switches, patch panels and servers
• Desktop or workstation connections where minimal cable length is required
• High-speed data transfers in gigabit and multi-gigabit networks
• Environments where EMI/RFI suppression is important, such as server rooms and data centres

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 performance class
• Shielding: F/FTP (foil around each pair plus overall foil)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 0.25 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port on a switch, router, server or patch panel and the other plug to the corresponding device port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure physical and electrical connection. Use this short cable for direct, point-to-point links where minimal slack is preferred; avoid extreme bending or crushing near the connector boots to preserve shielding integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for short-distance connections within racks or between adjacent devices. Maintain gentle bend radii and avoid running the cable parallel and tightly bundled with high-power electrical lines to reduce residual interference. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if the jacket, shield or plugs show wear.
