When do you need a patch cable?
You use a patch cable to connect network devices to each other or to a switch, router or wall socket. This shiverpeaks BASIC-S patch cable is suitable when you need a short, fixed connection of 2.0 m between, for example, your computer and a nearby network outlet.

Why Cat.8 with F/FTP shielding?
Cat.8 is suitable for network environments where a high bandwidth is required, supporting up to 2000 MHz. The F/FTP shielding means that the cable as a whole is fitted with a foil screen and that each individual wire pair is shielded separately. This makes the cable resistant to electromagnetic interference, which is useful in environments with a lot of electronics or other cables nearby.

Gold-plated contacts and halogen-free material
The RJ45 plugs (8P8C) have gold-plated contacts and a gold-plated contact surface, which ensures a stable electrical connection and less oxidation at the contact points. In addition, the cable is halogen-free, meaning that it does not release halogen gases when heated — a property that is relevant in spaces where fire safety plays a role.

Practical points to consider
This cable is grey in colour and has a black braided sleeve. The wiring follows the EIA/TIA 568B standard, which is the most commonly used pin assignment for network cables in office and home environments. When purchasing, make sure your network equipment also supports Cat.8 or the corresponding RJ45 connections to make optimal use of the specifications of this cable.
