Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PIMF) patchkabel, LSOH, 3,0 m, zwart

The equip® Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PIMF) RJ-45 patch cable, 3.0 m in length, is manufactured from high-quality materials and tested to meet industry standards. Designed for high-performance networks, this Cat 8.1 cable supports up to 40000 Mbit/s and 40GBase-T applications. It features S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, and the LSOH jacket reduces smoke emission in case of fire.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PIMF) construction provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal-to-noise margin for stable data transmission. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and reduced corrosion. The Cat 8.1 specification allows ultrahigh bandwidth suitable for demanding 40G environments while the LSOH outer jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections
• Data center uplinks and aggregation links
• 40GBase-T network deployments
• Environments where low smoke (LSOH) cabling is required

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router or server) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure both ports support the required data rate and 40GBase-T where applicable. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain proper bend radius as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in 40G environments, use the patch cable for short runs inside racks and between adjacent racks in data centers. Verify compatibility with connected equipment and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.
