Delock Cat.8.1 U/FTP Flat Patch Cable RJ45 40 Gbps 7.5 m White

The Delock Cat.8.1 U/FTP flat patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered to support data transfer rates of up to 40 Gbps. With its slim and flexible flat profile, this cable is specifically designed to facilitate clean and space-efficient installations in environments where traditional round cables might be too bulky. The integration of U/FTP shielding provides essential protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable and reliable connectivity for high-bandwidth applications.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this cable lies in its flat construction, which allows for easy routing under carpets, behind baseboards, or through narrow gaps in office furniture. Despite its thin profile, it maintains the rigorous standards of Category 8.1 cabling, offering exceptional signal integrity and high-speed performance. The durable RJ45 connectors ensure a secure fit in standard network ports, while the shielding technology minimizes crosstalk and external noise, making it a dependable choice for modern high-speed data networks.

Suitable for

• High-speed home and office network connections
• Routing under floorboards or behind furniture
• Data centers requiring space-saving cable management
• Professional gaming setups requiring low latency
• Connecting high-bandwidth devices like servers and switches

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the ideal choice for industrial environments where extreme mechanical stress, high temperatures, or exposure to harsh chemicals are present. Additionally, because of its flat design, it is not intended for heavy-duty outdoor use or installation within walls where standard round, fire-rated cabling might be required by local building codes.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: U/FTP (Unshielded/Foiled Twisted Pair)
• Data transfer rate: Up to 40 Gbps
• Connector type: RJ45
• Cable shape: Flat
• Length: 7.5 meters
• Color: White

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port on your router, switch, or computer until you hear a click. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or pinched by heavy furniture, as this can affect performance over time. When routing the cable, use appropriate cable clips to keep it organized and prevent tripping hazards.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware supports Cat.8.1 standards to achieve maximum speeds
• Measure the distance between your devices to ensure 7.5 meters is sufficient
• Check if your installation path requires a flat cable for clearance
• Ensure the white color matches your interior aesthetic requirements

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances to prevent potential interference. Always handle the connectors with care and avoid pulling the cable by the cord itself when disconnecting.
