Netwerkkabel S/CONN 08-41034 rood 2m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The S/CONN 08-41034 Red 2m Cat8.1 F/FTP networking cable by ShiverPeaks provides a high-performance wired connection for short-distance network links. Compliant with Cat8.1 specifications and utilizing F/FTP shielding, this 2-meter cable is designed to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity in dense cabling environments. The cable is terminated with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. Its red jacket offers clear visual identification in patch panels, server racks, or desktop installations.

Advantages

F/FTP shielding around each pair and an overall foil shield deliver improved protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic disturbances, which supports higher bandwidth and lower error rates. The Cat8.1 specification enables performance suited for high-frequency applications over short runs, while gold-plated RJ-45 contacts help maintain a stable electrical connection and reduce oxidation over time. The 2-meter length balances flexibility and reach for typical rack-to-device or desk-to-switch connections, and the colored jacket aids cable management and quick identification.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High-speed connections between switches, patch panels, and servers in data cabinets and small server rooms
• Short-run links in home labs, office desktops, and multimedia workstations
• Environments with a need for clear cable identification and organized cabling
• Applications requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and reliable signal transmission

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 standard for high-frequency, short-distance Ethernet
• Shielding: F/FTP — overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity
• Length: 2 meters
• Color: Red jacket for visual identification
• Designed use: Short-distance, high-bandwidth wired networking

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to an Ethernet port on your switch, router, or network interface and the other end to the target device (server, workstation, or patch panel). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latching clip engages to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and heavy compression; maintain gentle bend radii to preserve internal pair geometry and shielding effectiveness. For installations in racks or panels, group and label cables by color or function to maintain organized cabling and simplify future maintenance.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth links where Cat8.1 performance and shielding matter. Avoid running it parallel to high-power electrical lines to minimize residual interference, and inspect connector contacts periodically for debris or damage. For long, permanent runs beyond recommended Cat8.1 distances, consider using appropriate infrastructure solutions to maintain performance.
