Networking Cable S/CONN 08-41012 Yellow 0.5m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-41012 Yellow 0.5m Cat8.1 F/FTP is a short patch cable designed for high-speed LAN connections. Compliant with Cat8.1 specifications, this 0.5 metre cable uses F/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over short distances. It is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and is suitable for modern networking environments that require stable, high-bandwidth links.

Advantages

The Cat8.1 F/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external noise, helping to preserve high data rates in dense installations. Its short 0.5 m length minimises signal loss in patching applications and helps keep cabling tidy in racks or desktop setups. The visible yellow jacket aids quick identification in multi-cable environments, and the RJ-45 terminated ends offer broad compatibility with switches, routers and network interface devices that accept standard modular connectors.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server rooms and network cabinets
• Desktop connections between switches and workstations
• High-bandwidth applications requiring low interference over short runs
• Temporary or permanent cable routing where colour-coded identification is useful

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 performance class
• Shielding: F/FTP (foil shielded overall with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Cable jacket colour: yellow
• Suitable bandwidth: designed for high-frequency, high-bandwidth Ethernet applications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network switch or router and the other to the target device such as a server, network interface card or access point. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure electrical connection. Use the 0.5 m length for short-distance patching between adjacent ports, within rack units, or between devices on a desk where minimal slack is required.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive mechanical stress on the cable and connectors. Keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as large transformers or unshielded power cables. Use the short length for patching close-proximity ports to reduce excess cable loops and maintain tidy cable management.
