Netwerkkabel ShiverPeaks BS08-41014-2 0,5m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41014-2 0.5m Cat8.1 F/FTP networking cable is designed for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections in modern network environments. This half-meter cable complies with Cat8.1 specifications and uses F/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, combined with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to support reliable signal transfer and improved contact longevity. It is intended for use where maximum throughput and low latency are required within racks, patch panels, or between closely located network devices.

Advantages

The cable's Cat8.1 rating provides support for very high frequencies and throughput suitable for 25/40 Gbps links over short distances. F/FTP shielding (overall foil plus individually foiled pairs) minimises crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity in dense cabling environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs enhance corrosion resistance and ensure stable electrical contact. The 0.5 m length reduces excess cable slack and helps maintain tidy cable management in server rooms, switch cabinets, and workstations.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, servers, and patch panels
• High-speed LAN links requiring Cat8.1 performance
• Data centre top-of-rack and intra-rack cabling
• Workstation or equipment connections where low latency and interference protection are important

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 performance class
• Length: 0.5 metre
• Shielding: F/FTP — overall foil shield with individually foiled pairs
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs designed for high-frequency transmission

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of your network device and the other end to the corresponding port on the switch, patch panel, or server. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched to maintain stable contact. Use the 0.5 m length where a short, direct connection is required; avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors to preserve internal shielding and pair geometry. Verify link speed and duplex settings on connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8.1 F/FTP cable in short-distance, high-bandwidth applications such as top-of-rack and intra-rack connections. Keep the cable away from strong electrical noise sources and avoid excessive twisting or sharp bends. Pair with compatible Cat8-capable equipment and maintain proper cable routing to preserve shielding effectiveness.
