Networking cable Dexlan 858564 3 m Cat8 S/FTP RJ-45 to 12×RJ-45 Grey

Dexlan 858564 networking cable is a 3 m Cat8 S/FTP (S‑STP) assembly that connects a single RJ-45 feed to a breakout of 12 RJ-45 ports in a compact grey jacket. Engineered for high-speed Ethernet links, this cable provides shielding and pair-level foil to reduce crosstalk and preserve signal integrity across short, critical runs. The 3 meter length offers flexibility for rack-to-patch or within-rack aggregation where multiple copper ports must be distributed from a single uplink.

Advantages

The Cat8 S/FTP construction combines an overall braided shield with individually foiled pairs to deliver enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference and near-end crosstalk. Using a single RJ-45 input with a 12‑port breakout simplifies cabling topology and reduces the number of separate cables required for dense patching scenarios. The grey outer jacket is designed for typical data center and telecom environments where clear visual identification and cable management are important.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and within-rack port distribution
• Network aggregation and consolidation of multiple RJ-45 endpoints
• High-speed Ethernet links up to Cat8 performance over short runs
• Environments requiring improved EMI protection and reduced crosstalk

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 3 m
• Connector configuration: 1×RJ-45 to 12×RJ-45 breakout
• Color: grey outer jacket
• Intended application: short-run Ethernet links, patch and aggregation

How to use

Connect the single RJ-45 end to a switch, uplink port or network interface that provides the aggregated copper connection. Route the breakout end to the patch panel, distribution tray or device group where the 12 RJ-45 ports will feed endpoints. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that any strain relief or cable management hardware is used to avoid stress on the terminations. Keep the cable within the recommended bend radius and separate it from high-power electrical lines where possible to maintain signal quality.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat8 S/FTP breakout cable for short, high-performance copper runs inside racks or between adjacent equipment. Verify switch port capabilities and link speed negotiation when connecting multiple endpoints. For longer distances or fibre-based backbone links, consider appropriate fibre cabling solutions; reserve this cable for scenarios where copper breakout and dense port distribution are required.
