Netwerkkabel S/CONN 08-40021 blauw 1 m Cat8 S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-40021 Blue 1m Cat8 S/FTP is a 1-metre network patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. It uses Cat8 specification and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over short runs. The cable is terminated with RJ-45 plugs that have gold-plated contacts to support reliable contact and consistent data transfer. Its blue jacket provides an easily identifiable color for structured cabling setups and patch panels.

Advantages

This Cat8 cable offers elevated performance for short-distance, high-bandwidth applications thanks to S/FTP shielding that combines an overall screen with individually shielded pairs. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve conductivity and corrosion resistance, supporting stable throughput. The 1 metre length minimizes excess cable in racks and workstation areas while the flexible jacket simplifies routing in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections within server rooms or data cabinets
• Patching between network equipment in data centers and telecom closets
• Workstation or desktop connections where short, high-performance links are required
• Environments with moderate electrical interference that benefit from screened cable construction

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8 suitable for up to 40 Gbps over short distances
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall screen plus individually foiled and braided pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1 metre
• Color: Blue jacket for easy identification
• Conductor: stranded or solid copper conductors depending on patch or permanent link use (verify for installation type)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network interface on your device and the other end to a compatible port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure both connected ports support the required speeds and negotiate appropriate link rates. Avoid sharp bends at the connector ends and do not exceed the cable's recommended minimum bend radius. For installations in racks or cabinets, route the cable through cable management panels to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat8 S/FTP cable for short, high-bandwidth links where EMI protection and maximum signal integrity are important. For permanent in-wall runs or distances beyond typical patch lengths, select cables and installation methods that meet local cabling standards and consider solid-conductor cabling designed for fixed installations.
