Networking Cable S/CONN 08-44045 3m Cat8.1 S/FTP RJ-45

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-44045 3m Cat8.1 S/FTP RJ-45 is a 3-metre Ethernet cable engineered for high-performance data transmission in modern network environments. Compliant with Cat8.1 specification, it combines a robust S/FTP shielding scheme with standard RJ-45 terminations on both ends to support high bandwidth, minimize electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over short to medium runs.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 S/FTP cable provides enhanced protection against external noise through overall shielding and individually foil-shielded pairs, reducing crosstalk and improving reliability in electrically noisy environments. The RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of network equipment while the 3 m length offers convenient reach for rack-to-desk or patch-panel connections. The cable construction supports high-frequency operation and is suitable for applications that require low-latency, stable links.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections between switches, routers and servers within data centers or server rooms
• Patch panel and wall outlet connections in office and enterprise networks
• Workstation to switch links where reduced interference and high bandwidth are required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Length: 3 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield with foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Use case: Short to medium distance high-frequency Ethernet connections

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and the other connector to the target device or outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted to engage the latch for a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid placing it alongside heavy power cabling to reduce potential interference. For rack installations, use cable management guides to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8.1 S/FTP cable for runs up to the recommended distances for Cat8.1 specification and in environments where shielding improves link stability. Test links after installation with suitable network testers to verify continuity and performance.
