Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PIMF) patchkabel, LSOH, 5,0 m, zwart

The equip® Cat 8.1 S/FTP Patch Cord delivers high-bandwidth, low-interference connectivity for demanding network installations. Designed for 40GBase-T applications, this 5 m RJ-45 cable features S/FTP shielding and gold-plated contacts to support data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s while maintaining signal integrity in noisy environments. The black LSOH jacket provides durability and safety for structured cabling systems.

Advantages

Cat 8.1 construction with S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, ensuring a higher signal-to-noise margin. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The cable is engineered for ultrahigh-speed, error-minimized performance in professional network environments and for 40G applications.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections
• Data center patching and short-distance 40G links
• Enterprise LAN backbones and aggregation points
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference

How to use

Route the 5 m patch cord between RJ-45 ports on compatible switches, routers or servers, ensuring connectors are fully seated to obtain reliable contacts. Avoid sharp bends and maintain appropriate bend radius during installation to preserve shielding and cable performance. For best results, use within the same rack or between adjacent racks for short 40GBase-T links.

Recommendations

Use the equip® Cat 8.1 S/FTP patch cord for short-distance, high-speed links in data centers or enterprise infrastructures; verify device compatibility with 40GBase-T and follow cabling standards for grounding and rack management to maintain shielding effectiveness.
