Cable de red ShiverPeaks BS08-40011 0,5 m Cat8 S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks BS08-40011 0.5m Cat8 S/FTP networking cable is a short-length Ethernet patch cord engineered for high-speed data transmission in dense network environments. It conforms to Category 8 performance criteria and uses S/FTP shielding (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded pairs) to minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The cable is terminated with standard RJ‑45 connectors fitted with gold‑plated contacts to support stable connections and resist corrosion. The 0.5 metre length in blue is suitable for tidy, short interconnects between switches, patch panels and devices in racks or workstations.

Advantages

High Category 8 performance enables support for multi-gigabit and 25/40GBase-T applications over short distances while maintaining signal integrity. S/FTP construction provides improved protection against near-end and far-end crosstalk as well as external noise compared with unshielded or partially shielded cables. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ‑45 plugs reduce oxidation and support reliable mating cycles. The short 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and insertion loss in point-to-point connections within network cabinets or desktop setups.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels in racks
• Direct links from network equipment to servers or workstations in data centres
• High-performance desktop setups where minimal cable length is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 plugs (both ends)
• Contacts: Gold‑plated
• Colour: Blue
• Typical applications: 25G/40GBase‑T and multi‑gigabit Ethernet over short runs

How to use

Insert each RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your network devices until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m cable to make direct, short runs inside racks, between adjacent patch panel ports, or from a switch to a nearby server or desktop. Ensure that both connected devices support the intended network speeds; shielding requires proper grounding of the connected equipment and chassis to achieve full EMI protection. Avoid tight bends at the connector ends and do not stretch the cable beyond its length to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8 S/FTP cable in short links up to the maximum effective distance for Cat8 specifications in structured cabling environments. Maintain proper shield continuity by connecting to shielded ports or properly grounded patch panels and switches; avoid mixing shielded and unshielded terminations in the same link. Store and route the cable without sharp bends and keep it away from high-power electrical sources to minimise interference.
