## Summary description

ACT FB8101 is a 1 m Cat8 networking patch cable with U/FTP (STP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for high-frequency, short-run connections in data centers and LAN environments, it provides improved crosstalk protection and reliable copper contacts for fast Ethernet and high-speed networking applications.

## Long description

ACT FB8101 is a 1 m Cat8 U/FTP (STP) slimline datacenter patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It supports a maximum bandwidth of 2000 MHz (40 Gbit) and uses full copper 30 AWG conductors with 50 µin gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The slim 5 mm jacket and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material make it suitable for short high-speed links in racks and cabinets where improved airflow and reduced smoke/toxic gas emission are required.
Advantages
The slim 5 mm diameter reduces cable bulk and improves rack airflow compared with standard Cat8 patch cords. U/FTP shielding and gold-plated contacts provide improved crosstalk protection and reliable electrical contact. All cables are manufactured to international standards and 100% tested for quality assurance. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of high concentrations of toxic gases in case of fire or overheating.
Suitable for
Short-run high-speed connections in data centers and server rooms
Patch panels to switches or network appliances in cabinets with limited space
LAN connections requiring Cat8 performance up to 40 Gbit/s
When it may not be suitable
This slimline cable uses 30 AWG conductors, which are thinner than the 22–28 AWG range commonly described in ISO/IEC and TIA standards. As a result, attenuation is higher—particularly at higher frequencies—so for longer runs or installations demanding the lowest possible attenuation, a thicker-gauge Cat8 or different cable type may be more appropriate.
Key specifications
Cable category: Cat8 U/FTP (shielded twisted pair)
Length: 1 m
Maximum bandwidth: 2000 MHz (40 Gbit/s)
Conductors: full copper, 30 AWG
Connector type: RJ-45 straight male to RJ-45 straight male
Contact plating: 50 µin gold
Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
Outer diameter: ~5 mm
Colour: Black
How to use
Connect one RJ-45 end to a switch, router or other network device and the other end to the target device such as a NAS or server. Use for short, high-frequency links inside racks or between adjacent devices. Avoid excessive bending beyond the cable's minimum bend radius and keep the cable run within the recommended 1 m length to maintain optimal performance.
What to consider before purchase
Required cable length and whether a 1 m patch cable is sufficient
Whether higher attenuation from 30 AWG conductors is acceptable for your application
Need for LSZH jacket in enclosed or public spaces for safety requirements
Compatibility with existing RJ-45 ports and rack layout to benefit from slimline diameter
Usage recommendations
Use this ACT Cat8 U/FTP slimline patch cable for short-distance, high-speed interconnects in data centers or dense cabinet environments where reduced cable diameter and LSZH material are desirable. For longer runs or when minimizing attenuation is critical, consider thicker-gauge alternatives.
