Cavo di rete S/CONN 08-40001 blu 0,25 m Cat8 S/FTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 08-40001 Blue 0.25m Cat8 S/FTP is a short, high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for demanding network environments. This 0.25 m Cat8 cable uses S/FTP shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. Its compact length and robust construction make it suitable for connections where space is limited or short, stable links are required between devices.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat8 specification supports very high data rates and improved bandwidth compared with lower-category cables, while S/FTP shielding provides additional protection against external noise. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce contact resistance and improve long-term reliability. The short 0.25 m length reduces latency and signal loss over short runs and helps keep patch panels and network racks tidy. The blue jacket provides clear visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between servers, switches and patch panels in data centres
• High-speed links for network appliances where cable routing space is limited
• Laboratory or test-bench setups requiring stable, low-latency Ethernet connections
• Home or small-office installations where precise cable length and neat cable management are needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8
• Length: 0.25 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Jacket colour: Blue
• Suitable frequencies and bandwidth: Designed for high-frequency, high-bandwidth applications typical of Cat8 standards

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of the source device and the other end to the destination device such as a switch, patch panel or server network interface. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.25 m cable for short interconnects to minimise exposed cable and maintain tidy cable routing. Avoid sharp bends or crushing of the cable to preserve shielding integrity and signal performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8 S/FTP cable in shielded or well-grounded rack environments and pair it with compatible Cat8-capable equipment. Keep cable runs short where possible to maximise signal quality; when connecting to unshielded devices, verify compatibility, as some gains from shielding require proper grounding at both ends.
