Patch cable Digitus CAT 8.1 S/FTP RJ45 5m Black

The DIGITUS® Category 8.1 Class I patch cable is a high-end network solution compliant with the CAT 8.1 standard. It supports transmission rates up to 40 Gbit/s and is designed for data centers, server rooms and industrial environments. The cable features an RJ45 connector with an integrated PCB for improved signal integrity, a molded anti-kink grommet with strain relief and a latching lever protection to prevent connector damage.

Advantages

The cable delivers highest performance at up to 40 Gbit/s and 2000 MHz, ensures long-term signal stability thanks to the RJ45 connector with integrated PCB, and is compatible with IEEE 802.3af/802.3at/802.3bt PoE standards. It is manufactured and tested according to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 8.1, guaranteeing compliance with ISO & EN channel specifications and reliable performance including NEXT characteristics.

Key specifications

• Standard: CAT 8.1, Class I
• Test standards: ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173
• Bandwidth: up to 2000 MHz
• Data rate: up to 40 Gbit/s
• Connector: RJ45 with integrated PCB
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, 802.3bt (PoE++ Type 3 & Type 4)

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs of the DIGITUS CAT 8.1 patch cable between the network devices or patch panels you intend to link. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latching lever engages; the molded grommet and strain relief reduce mechanical stress at the plug. Use in structured cabling installations that comply with CAT 8.1 channel specifications and verify connector seating for reliable 40 Gbit/s operation.

Рекомендации

Use these patch cables in short-distance, high-speed links such as within data centers and server rooms, and follow installation guidelines for CAT 8.1 channels. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile force on the cable and confirm compatibility with your network equipment’s PoE class if powering devices over Ethernet.
