Wentronic Goobay ultra-flexibele CAT 8.1 slim U/FTP patchkabel, wit, 0,5 m, 40 Gbps, extra korte aansluitingen 74358

High-speed networks demand cables that can keep up without adding bulk or stiffness. This ultra-flexible CAT 8.1 patch cable delivers up to 40 Gbps over short runs, making it ideal for dense server racks, high-performance workstations, and 10G/25G/40G Ethernet connections. The slim 3.2 mm diameter and extra-short connectors allow easy routing in tight spaces, while the oxygen-free copper conductors ensure reliable signal integrity.

Who is it for

Network administrators, IT professionals, and enthusiasts who need a premium, space-saving cable for data centers, patch panels, or high-speed home setups. It is perfect for connecting switches, routers, NAS devices, and computers where flexibility and compactness matter.

Main features

• CAT 8.1 (Class I) performance: supports up to 40 Gbps and 2000 MHz bandwidth.
• Ultra-flexible and slim design: 3.2 mm outer diameter for easy cable management.
• Extra-short, slimline RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts (50µ) for durability.
• U/FTP shielding: each twisted pair is individually foiled, reducing crosstalk and EMI.
• Stranded 30/7 AWG conductors made of 99.9% oxygen-free copper (OFC).
• Backward compatible with CAT 6a, CAT 6, CAT 5e, and CAT 5 networks.
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+, PoE++) for powering devices.
• White PVC jacket for easy identification and a clean look.
