Netwerkkabel S/CONN 08-43055 Cat8.1 U/FTP 5 m zwart

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-43055 Cat8.1 U/FTP 5m Black is a 5-meter Ethernet patch cable built to Cat8.1 specification with U/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It is designed for environments that require high-speed data transmission and improved protection against electromagnetic interference. The cable’s black jacket provides a neutral, professional appearance suitable for office racks, server rooms and residential installations.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 U/FTP cable supports very high data transfer rates and is constructed to minimise crosstalk and external interference thanks to its foil-shielded pairs and overall screening. The RJ-45 terminations allow backwards compatibility with previous Ethernet standards while providing a stable connection for modern high-bandwidth applications. The 5 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices across moderate distances without additional couplers or extensions.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections between switches, servers and networked devices
• Data centres and server rooms where shielding and signal integrity are important
• Home offices and professional workspaces requiring reliable wired connections
• Patch panel to switch routing within rack enclosures

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: U/FTP (individually foiled pairs with overall shielding)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the Ethernet port of a network device (switch, router, server or workstation) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to guarantee a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and sources of strong electromagnetic fields to maintain optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best signal integrity, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and maintain bend radii greater than the cable diameter. Use the 5 m length for direct connections within racks or between nearby equipment; for longer runs, select appropriately rated cables and follow structured cabling standards.
