Network patch cable bkl electronic 144023 CAT 8.1 S/FTP RJ45 1 m halogen-free black

bkl electronic 144023 is a CAT 8.1 S/FTP RJ45 network patch cable, 1 m in length and halogen-free, designed for short-distance high-speed Ethernet connections. The cable features individually shielded pairs with an overall foil and braided drain, an RJ45 connector and a compact design suited for dense rack or workstation environments. It is intended to deliver high-frequency performance and reduced electromagnetic interference in data centers, server racks and professional network installations where space and signal integrity are important.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP construction provides strong protection against crosstalk and external interference, supporting high bandwidth and reliable signal transmission. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic fumes in the event of a fire, meeting safety considerations for enclosed or public spaces. At 1 m length and in a compact black design, the cable is easy to route in patch panels and between close equipment, keeping installations tidy and minimizing excess cable.

Suitable for

• Short-distance uplinks between switches and patch panels in data centers
• Workstation patching in offices and server rooms
• High-speed Ethernet connections requiring shielded cabling
• Environments where halogen-free materials are preferred for safety

When it may not be suitable

This 1 m patch cable is not intended for long runs; longer link distances require structured cabling or longer cables to avoid signal loss and to meet installation layout needs. In environments where unshielded cables are sufficient or preferred for cost reasons, a shielded CAT 8.1 cable may be an unnecessary upgrade.

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil overall with individually shielded pairs and braided drain)
• Connector type: RJ45
• Length: 1 m
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Colour: black
• Designed for high-frequency, high-speed Ethernet applications

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the switch, patch panel or network device and the other to the target port on the server, workstation or network equipment. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain bend radius recommendations typical for shielded Ethernet cables. For optimal shielding performance, ensure proper grounding of the connected equipment and panel chassis where applicable.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 1 m is sufficient for your layout
• Whether shielded cabling (S/FTP) is necessary for your environment
• Compatibility of RJ45 ports and grounding provisions on connected equipment
• Preference for halogen-free jacket material for safety requirements

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT 8.1 S/FTP 1 m patch cable for short, high-speed connections where shielding and halogen-free construction are required; avoid excessive bending, and verify proper grounding for best performance.
