Verkkokaapeli S/CONN 08-41055 musta 5 m Cat8.1 F/FTP

The S/CONN 08-41055 Black 5 m Cat8.1 F/FTP networking cable by ShiverPeaks is a high-performance Ethernet cable designed for demanding network environments. Built to Cat8.1 specification with F/FTP shielding, it provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors plated in gold to maintain consistent signal transfer and enhance connector longevity. The 5 meter length and black jacket offer a balance between reach and neat installation in server rooms, workstations, and home network setups.

Advantages

F/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individual foil-wrapped pairs to reduce external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, supporting stable high-speed data transmission. Category 8.1 construction enables higher frequency handling and low-latency connections suitable for modern networking equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve corrosion resistance and ensure a reliable physical contact. The 5 m length provides flexibility for placement without excessive cable slack, while the black outer jacket offers a discreet appearance.

Suitable for

• High-speed network links between switches, routers and patch panels
• Server rack connections and data center patching within short runs
• Workstation to wall outlet or desktop switch connections
• Home offices and small business networks requiring robust shielding

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding type: F/FTP (overall foil + individually foil-wrapped pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold plating
• Length: 5 m
• Cable color: Black
• Typical applications: High-frequency LAN links and short data center runs

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or network outlet) and the other plug to the corresponding device port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until a tactile click is felt to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize potential interference. For permanent installations, use appropriate cable management accessories such as cable ties and panels to maintain organized runs and prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for runs up to the recommended length and pair it with compatible shielded network equipment and patch panels. Verify that patch panels and keystone jacks are also shielded when deploying shielded cabling to maintain continuity of the shielding system. Avoid excessive twisting or kinking and store spare cable coiled loosely to preserve cable integrity.
