Networking cable S/CONN 08-43015 0.5m Cat8.1 U/FTP Black

The ShiverPeaks Networking cable S/CONN 08-43015 0.5m Cat8.1 U/FTP Black is a short, high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for fast data transfer in demanding network environments. Compliant with Cat8.1 specifications, this 0.5 metre cable uses U/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends to provide stable, low-latency connections between switches, servers, patch panels and high-speed network devices. Its compact length is suited to rack-mounted or desktop setups where minimal cable slack and reduced crosstalk are important.

Advantages

The cable’s U/FTP construction minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting reliable signal integrity at high frequencies. Short 0.5 m length reduces latency and clutter while providing a direct link between adjacent equipment. Robust RJ-45 connectors maintain secure physical contact and consistent data throughput. The black outer jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for professional network installations.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, routers and servers in data cabinets and racks
• High-speed links in LAN backbones and aggregation points
• Short-distance device interconnects in server rooms and telecom closets
• Environments requiring reduced interference and high signal integrity

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 performance class
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Color: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector securely into the corresponding port on your network devices until the latch clicks. Use this 0.5 m cable to create direct patch links where short distance and minimal cable management are required, for example between adjacent rack units or between a switch and a patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that ports are powered on; no additional configuration is needed for standard Ethernet operation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress on the cable and connectors. Keep the cable clear of strong electromagnetic sources and separate it from power cabling where possible. Use the short 0.5 m length for tidy rack installations and to reduce potential signal reflections in high-frequency connections.
