Networking Cable S/CONN 08-43075 10m Cat8.1 U/FTP STP RJ-45

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-43075 10m Cat8.1 U/FTP STP RJ-45 is a 10-metre Ethernet patch cable engineered to meet Cat8.1 performance requirements. It uses individually foil-shielded pairs within an overall shield (U/FTP with STP characteristics) to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this cable is intended for high-frequency, high-bandwidth applications where reliable, low-latency data transmission is required.

Advantages

The U/FTP (individually foil-shielded pairs) design combined with an overall shield provides improved protection against near-end and far-end crosstalk and external noise, supporting stable high-speed connections. The 10 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-switch connections without introducing excessive slack. RJ-45 termination ensures compatibility with standard Ethernet ports while supporting the higher frequencies associated with Cat8.1 cabling.

Suitable for

• High-density server rooms and data centres requiring short-run, high-bandwidth connections
• Switch-to-switch and patch-panel interconnects within racks
• Professional workstations and network equipment where reduced interference is necessary
• Test environments and lab setups operating at multi-gigabit Ethernet speeds

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Length: 10 metres
• Cable shielding: U/FTP with overall shield (STP characteristics)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Conductor type: twisted pairs (shielded)
• Typical use frequency range: suitable for high-frequency, multi-gigabit Ethernet applications

How to use

Route the cable between devices ensuring minimum bending near the connectors and avoiding sharp kinks. Insert the RJ-45 plugs fully into compatible Ethernet ports until they click to establish a secure connection. For optimal performance, keep the cable run within recommended maximum lengths for the intended application and avoid running parallel to heavy power cables to reduce potential electromagnetic interference. Inspect connectors and shielding for damage before installation.

Recommendations

Use this Cat8.1 U/FTP cable for short to medium patch runs in controlled networking environments such as data centres, server rooms, and professional installations. For permanent in-wall installations or longer-distance trunking, consult cabling standards and local regulations to choose the appropriate cable category and installation method.
