S/CONN networking cable Black 1 m Cat8.1 U/FTP STP 08-43025

The S/CONN networking cable Black 1 m Cat8.1 U/FTP STP 08-43025 by ShiverPeaks is a 1-metre Ethernet cable engineered for high-speed, short-run network connections. It uses Cat8.1 specification and U/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over copper pairs. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors to ensure compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network devices that accept an 8P8C modular connector.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 cable provides a compact, shielded solution for high-bandwidth applications, offering improved protection against crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded cables. The 1 m length minimizes excess cable clutter in rack or desktop installations, while the RJ-45 terminations ensure plug-and-play compatibility with existing Ethernet infrastructure. The cable’s construction supports robust data transmission for demanding local connections.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between network equipment in racks and workstations
• High-bandwidth LAN links for servers, switches and NAS devices
• Office and home networks that require shielded cabling to reduce interference
• Patch panel and switch-to-device patching in data cabinets

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall shield with individually foiled pairs), STP
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 1 metre
• Color: Black
• Conductor: stranded copper suitable for patching (flexible)
• Application: high-frequency, high-bandwidth copper Ethernet

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your source device (switch, router or network interface) and the other to the target device (server, NAS, PC or patch panel). Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends or kinks and keep the cable run short and free from high-power electrical cables that may introduce interference. Use the cable in environments where shielded cabling is supported and properly grounded.

Recommendations

Where available, use shielded ports and grounded patch panels to take full advantage of the U/FTP shielding. Inspect connectors before installation and avoid installing under tension to preserve performance and connector integrity.
