Verkkokaapeli S/CONN 08-42042 keltainen Cat8.1 U/FTP (STP)

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-42042 Yellow Cat8.1 U/FTP (STP) is a high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for demanding network environments. Built to the Cat8.1 standard with U/FTP (individually foil-shielded pairs inside an overall braid), it provides stable, high-frequency signal transmission and strong protection against electromagnetic interference. The cable terminates in gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable contact and reduced oxidation. The bright yellow jacket improves visibility and cable management in racks, data centers, and structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The cable delivers high data throughput and supports high-frequency signals required for modern wired networks while its U/FTP (STP) construction minimizes crosstalk and external interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent electrical contact and corrosion resistance. The durable outer sheath and precise pair shielding contribute to long-term stability and predictable performance in dense installation environments. The yellow color aids identification and reduces installation errors in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and top-of-rack connections
• High-speed LAN backbones and server interconnects
• Audio/video over IP and high-bandwidth streaming
• Professional structured cabling in commercial and enterprise networks
• Environments with significant electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: U/FTP (individually foil-shielded pairs with overall braid)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Color: Yellow jacket for easy identification
• Designed for high-frequency, high-bandwidth Ethernet applications

How to use

Insert the gold-plated RJ-45 plugs into compatible RJ-45 ports on network devices such as switches, routers, servers, or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended minimum bend radius to preserve shielding and performance. When connecting within a shielded installation, ground the cable shields according to the site’s grounding scheme to maintain optimal EMI protection.

Recommendations

For best results use this Cat8.1 U/FTP cable in short to medium link lengths typical for data center and rack environments; avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines and maintain proper separation from sources of interference. Verify connector seating and grounding in shielded systems to ensure consistent performance.
