Networking Cable S/CONN 08-41036 2m Cat8.1 F/FTP White

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-41036 is a 2-metre Cat8.1 patch cable with F/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors plated with gold. Designed for high-frequency data transmission, this cable supports demanding network environments where reduced interference and consistent throughput are required. The white jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office racks, home installations, and visible cable runs while maintaining the cable’s electrical and mechanical performance.

Advantages

F/FTP shielding isolates each pair and the overall core from electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple nearby cables or electronic equipment. Cat8.1 specification allows for higher bandwidth and lower crosstalk compared with earlier categories, supporting faster data rates over short distances. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance for stable connections over time.

Suitable for

• Short-run high-speed links between switches, patch panels, and servers
• Data centers and telecommunications racks where high bandwidth is required
• Home labs and office networks that need reduced interference and dependable throughput
• Connections for network testing equipment and high-performance network devices

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.1
• Length: 2 m
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Outer jacket color: white

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, router, patch panel or network device and the other plug to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure both devices support the intended link speed; Cat8.1 delivers optimal performance on short links typically found within racks or between adjacent equipment. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. If routing through cable management panels or conduits, confirm the pathway does not compress the cable or introduce severe mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For best results in high-density installations, use this Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for connections under 30 metres where high bandwidth and low interference are required. Inspect connectors before installation and avoid excessive pulling force. When mixing cable categories in a network, set device link speeds according to the lowest capable segment to ensure stable operation.
