Networking Cable S/CONN 08-44025 1m Cat8.1 S/FTP Black

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-44025 is a 1 m Cat8.1 S/FTP patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed wired network connections. The cable supports the Cat8.1 specification and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and preserve signal integrity over short, high-bandwidth links. Its black jacket offers a neutral appearance suited to residential and commercial environments.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 S/FTP cable provides high data throughput and improved noise immunity compared with lower-category cables thanks to its shielding and pair separation. The RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports, and the 1 m length offers a compact connection for patch panels, switches, routers, or devices located close to each other. The durable jacket and factory-terminated connectors deliver consistent performance and reduced installation time.

Suitable for

• Short-range high-speed Ethernet links in data centres and server rooms
• Connecting switches, routers, and network appliances in office racks
• Home network backbones where maximum bandwidth and shielding are required
• Applications requiring reduced crosstalk and electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Color: Black
• Use: Patch cable for high-frequency Ethernet up to category 8.1 performance

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port until it clicks to establish a secure physical connection. Use the cable between devices located within 1 m of each other—for example, from a switch to a server or from a router to a patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid kinking or sharp bends in the cable to maintain signal quality. If routing through tight spaces or cable organizers, check that bend radius and compression do not damage the jacket or shielding.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat8.1 S/FTP cable in environments where high bandwidth and minimized interference are required. Keep cable runs within recommended lengths for Category 8.1 applications and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. When installing in racks or conduit, maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and avoid excessive pulling force on the connectors.
