Cable de red ShiverPeaks BS08-41030-4 Cat8.1 F/FTP 2 m

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41030-4 Cat8.1 F/FTP 2m networking cable provides a high-performance wired connection for demanding network environments. The cable conforms to the Cat8.1 standard and uses F/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. It is equipped with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance over repeated insertions. With a 2 meter length, this cable is intended for short, high-speed links between network devices where bandwidth and low latency are required.

Advantages

The combination of Cat8.1 specification and F/FTP shielding offers improved noise immunity and higher frequency handling compared with lower-category cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent electrical contact and reduce the risk of oxidation. The 2 m length balances flexibility and minimal signal loss for close device interconnections. The cable construction supports high data rates suitable for modern networking applications while maintaining compatibility with standard RJ-45 ports.

Suitable for

• High-speed connections between switches, routers and servers in data centres and server rooms
• Short-distance backbone links and patch panels requiring Cat8.1 performance
• Workstation-to-switch connections where increased bandwidth and low latency are needed
• Home lab and small office setups that require future-proof cabling for 25/40 Gbps applications over short runs

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 2 metres
• Suitable frequency range: supports higher frequency bands defined for Cat8.1 cabling
• Cable use: designed for high-speed Ethernet links and short-range data transmission

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of your device (switch, router, server or network interface) and the other end to the corresponding port on the peer device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and tight kinks; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and limit exposure to strong electromagnetic sources despite the shielding. Use the 2 m length for direct device-to-device connections or patch panel runs where short, high-bandwidth links are required.

Recommendations

For maximum data integrity, route the cable away from large power cables and sources of interference. Verify that connected equipment supports the intended link speed; while the cable is designed for high bandwidth, end-to-end performance depends on the entire network chain. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace the cable if physical wear or connector deformation is observed.
