## Summary description

Gembird Cat8 network cable with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding, 0.25 m length and dual RJ-45 connectors. Designed for high-frequency Ethernet links, it features gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity and a compact black jacket for short patch connections between switches, routers or network interface cards in data centers and home labs.

## Long description

Gembird Cat8 S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 network cable, 0.25 m, black, is a short patch cord engineered for high-frequency Ethernet connections. With foil-shielded pairs and an overall braided shield, it supports Cat8 performance for short-run links between switches, routers or network interface cards. The cable features gold-plated connectors and contacts for reliable electrical contact and is covered with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket for reduced smoke and toxic emissions in enclosed environments.
Advantages
The cable provides improved interference protection thanks to S/FTP (S-STP) shielding that combines individual foil around pairs with an overall braided shield. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance contact reliability and corrosion resistance, while molded strain reliefs and snagless boots protect the connector area from damage and accidental unplugging. The short 0.25 m length minimises signal loss in patching scenarios and reduces cable clutter in racks and compact installations.
Suitable for
Short patch connections in server racks and data centres
Direct links between network switches and routers
Connections between network interface cards (NICs) and nearby devices
Home labs and test benches requiring high-frequency Ethernet links
Key specifications
Category: Cat8 performance with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding
Length: 0.25 m (short patch cord)
Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
Construction: Foil-shielded pairs plus braided overall shield
Mechanical features: Molded strain reliefs and snagless boots

How to use
Insert the RJ-45 plugs into the corresponding ports on your network devices until the connector latch clicks into place. Use the 0.25 m Gembird Cat8 cable to create short, direct links where minimal cable slack is required, such as between adjacent ports in a switch or between a switch and a nearby router or NIC. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that strain reliefs are positioned to avoid sharp bends at the connector entry.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, reserve this short Cat8 patch cord for distances where minimal attenuation and reduced cable clutter are priorities. Avoid tight bends with radii smaller than the connector assembly and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic noise sources. The LSZH jacket makes it suitable for installations in confined or public spaces where low smoke emission is preferred.
