Networking Cable S/CONN 08-41042 Yellow 3m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-41042 Yellow 3m Cat8.1 F/FTP is a 3-metre ethernet cable designed to support high-speed data transmission in structured networks. Built to the Cat8.1 standard and equipped with F/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ‑45 connectors, this cable is intended for environments that require low interference and reliable signal integrity. The yellow jacket improves visibility and makes cable routing and identification easier in crowded installations.

Advantages

F/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference by combining an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs, which helps maintain consistent throughput in electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated RJ‑45 connectors provide better contact reliability and corrosion resistance for stable connections. The Cat8.1 rating enables support for high bandwidth applications over short to medium distances while the 3 m length offers flexible placement between network devices.

Suitable for

• High-speed uplinks between switches, routers, and patch panels in data centers and server rooms
• Workstation to wall outlet connections where visibility and reliable signal are required
• AV installations and networked media applications that need minimal interference
• Environments with multiple nearby cables where color-coded identification simplifies maintenance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 3 metres
• Color: Yellow
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs suitable for high-frequency transmission

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 end to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or NIC) and the other end to the corresponding port on the connected device. Ensure connectors are fully seated to establish a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, crushing, and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain the recommended bend radius of the cable jacket. For best performance, use this Cat8.1 cable for direct device-to-device links or short interconnects within rack or horizontal cabling runs.

Recommendations

Inspect connectors before installation for cleanliness and secure seating. Avoid running the cable alongside high-power electrical wiring to minimize interference. Use the yellow color to mark critical links or to separate specific network segments for easier identification during maintenance.
