Netwerkkabel ShiverPeaks BS08-40051

The ShiverPeaks BS08-40051 is a 5 m Cat8 networking cable designed for high-speed wired connections. It uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and supports reliable data transmission through RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts. The cable's construction and shielding aim to maintain signal integrity across short-to-medium distance installations in home and professional network environments, while the blue jacket provides a clear visual identification within structured cabling setups.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs, improving resistance to crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded alternatives. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer stable connection and corrosion resistance for consistent contact quality over time. The 5 m length balances reach and signal performance for connecting devices within racks, workstations, or wall outlets. Cat8 specification supports higher bandwidths and lower latency on compatible equipment.

Suitable for

• High-speed connections between switches, routers and servers within racks or network cabinets
• Workstation or desktop connections requiring a reliable wired link
• Short to medium length patching in data centers or telecommunications rooms
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal integrity are needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8
• Length: 5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Color: blue
• Typical use: Ethernet/LAN up to Cat8 performance levels

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (switch, router, network interface on a computer or server) and the other end to the corresponding port on the opposite device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, kinks and proximity to heavy power cables to preserve shielding effectiveness and prevent performance degradation. For best results, pair this cable with networking equipment that supports Cat8 or compatible high-speed Ethernet standards.

Recommendations

Use the cable within indoor environments and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight or moisture. For installations in areas with significant electromagnetic noise, maintain proper separation from power lines and consider additional rack or conduit management to preserve signal quality. Verify device compatibility for Cat8 performance; for legacy devices, the cable will operate at the highest mutually supported standard.
