## Summary description

GOOBAY Cat 8.1 patch cord, S/FTP (PiMF) shielding, 3 m length, terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold‑plated contacts. Designed for high‑speed copper Ethernet including 40GBase‑T, the grey cable provides improved EMI protection via individually screened pairs and overall shield, suitable for data centers, server racks and high‑performance LAN links.

## Long description

GOOBAY Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PiMF) grey 3 m RJ-45–RJ-45 is a high-performance patch cable engineered for modern copper Ethernet networks. With S/FTP (Pair in Metal Foil) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold‑plated contacts, the 3 m cable supports demanding 40GBase‑T applications and provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference. The grey, halogen‑free sheath and oxygen‑free copper conductors ensure low signal loss and reliable transmission for data center links, server racks and high‑performance LAN installations.
Advantages
The cable combines individually screened twisted pairs with an overall metal foil shield to minimise crosstalk and external EMI, delivering stable high‑speed data transfer. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The conductor is made of 99.9% oxygen‑free copper (OFC) in AWG 24 gauge for consistent electrical performance and low attenuation. A halogen‑free (LSZH) outer sheath reduces hazardous emissions in enclosed spaces and complies with modern building and safety requirements.
Suitable for
40GBase‑T connections in data centres and server environments
High‑performance LAN links between switches, patch panels and servers
Applications requiring improved EMI protection and low crosstalk
Short‑run backbone or horizontal cabling in office or technical rooms
Key specifications
Cabling standard: Cat 8.1
Shielding: S/FTP (individually shielded pairs + overall shield)
Conductor material and purity: 99.9% oxygen‑free copper (OFC)
Conductor gauge: AWG 24
Connector type: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 with gold‑plated contacts
Length: 3 m
Sheath material: halogen‑free (LSZH)
Colour: grey
Designed for: high‑speed copper Ethernet including 40GBase‑T
How to use
Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or server and the other RJ‑45 plug to the corresponding patch panel, NIC or network device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click to guarantee proper contact. Use the 3 m length to create neat short links inside racks, between devices on a desk or across server shelves. Avoid tight bends and compressive forces near the connectors to maintain shielding integrity and signal performance.
Usage recommendations
For best performance, route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise such as power transformers and unshielded power cables. Maintain bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum, avoid kinking, and secure the cable with suitable cable management to prevent strain on the RJ‑45 plugs. Use this Cat 8.1 S/FTP cable for short, high‑bandwidth links where EMI mitigation and low latency are required.
