Verkkokaapeli ShiverPeaks BS08-41020-2 Cat8.1 F/FTP 1 m

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41020-2 Cat8.1 F/FTP 1m networking cable is a high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed to support very high data rates and reduced interference in wired networks. Built to Cat8.1 specification with F/FTP shielding, this 1-metre cable integrates individually foil-shielded pairs plus an overall foil shield to minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and long-term contact resistance stability.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 F/FTP cable provides substantially improved shielding compared with unshielded or lower-category cables, offering better protection against EMI and near-end crosstalk. The gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance conductivity and resist corrosion, while the cable’s Category 8.1 rating supports very high-frequency signals suitable for multi-gigabit and data centre-style applications. The 1 m length reduces excess cable slack and is convenient for short patching runs in home offices, racks, or desktop setups.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections between switches, patch panels and servers
• Home or office desktop connections where short, high-quality patch cables are needed
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference that require shielded cabling
• Multi-gigabit applications and future-proofing for faster network equipment

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil + foil around each twisted pair)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity
• Use case: Patch cable for LAN and data centre-style links

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router, network card or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding device or port. For best performance, avoid bending the cable sharply at the connector and maintain the bend radius recommended for twisted-pair cables. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch snaps to secure the connection. Use the 1 m length for short patch runs to minimise excess cable and potential signal degradation from unnecessary loops.

Recommendations

Use the cable in shielded installations or where EMI is a concern; pair it with grounded metal patch panels or shielded connectors when possible to maintain the shielding effectiveness. Inspect connectors for debris before installation and avoid routing the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce interference risk.
