SHIVERPEAKS S/CONN maximum connectivity Cat. 8.1 F/FTP PIMF LSZH Yellow Network Patch Cable 15m (08-41082)

With a staggering 2000 MHz bandwidth and 40 Gbps data transfer rate, this SHIVERPEAKS Cat. 8.1 patch cable is built for the most demanding high-speed networks. Its F/FTP shielding with PIMF (Pairs in Metal Foil) construction virtually eliminates crosstalk and EMI, ensuring rock-solid signal integrity even in dense, interference-heavy environments. The LSZH jacket adds a critical safety layer: low smoke and zero halogen emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for public buildings and enclosed spaces.

Overview

Engineered for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T Ethernet, this 15-meter yellow cable connects servers, switches, and high-performance workstations with headroom to spare. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion and maintain reliable contact over thousands of mating cycles. Stranded 26 AWG bare copper conductors offer a balance of flexibility and performance, while the halogen-free, flame-retardant jacket meets strict safety regulations.

What stands out

• Cat. 8.1 specification with 2000 MHz bandwidth – double that of Cat. 6a
• F/FTP shielding with PIMF: each pair individually wrapped in metal foil, plus overall foil shield
• Supports 40 Gbps up to 30 meters – future-proof for 25G/40G Ethernet
• LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket: safer for people and equipment
• Gold-plated contacts for superior conductivity and durability
• Backward compatible with Cat. 5e, Cat. 6, Cat. 6a, and Cat. 7 networks
