Networking Cable S/CONN 08-41045 Black 3m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-41045 Black 3m Cat8.1 F/FTP is a 3-metre Ethernet cable built to support high-speed network connections following the Cat8.1 specification. It features F/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain signal integrity and reduce interference. The black outer jacket provides a neutral, professional appearance suitable for home, office, or server-room installations.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 F/FTP cable delivers enhanced transmission performance for high-bandwidth applications by combining foil shielding around each pair with an overall foil screen. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve corrosion resistance and connection reliability. The 3 m length offers a balance between flexibility and reach for typical desktop-to-switch or rack-to-equipment runs, while the robust outer sheath protects internal conductors from mechanical wear.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network interfaces in high-speed LAN environments
• Short runs between servers and patch panels in data cabinets and racks
• Workstation or home office setups requiring low-interference Ethernet links
• Applications that benefit from improved shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1, suitable for very high-frequency Ethernet transmission
• Cabling type: F/FTP — foil shield around each pair plus overall foil screen
• Connector type: RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 3 metres
• Color: Black outer jacket
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs designed for high data rates

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure physical and electrical connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable, and keep the cable run clear of strong sources of electromagnetic noise such as large transformers or unshielded power cabling.

Recommendations

Use this Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for short to moderate-length connections where reduced interference and high data throughput are required; pair with compatible shielded network ports and properly grounded infrastructure to realize full shielding benefits.
