## Summary description

GOOBAY CAT 8.1 S/FTP patch cord, 0.5 m, AWG 26, white. Shielded S/FTP (S‑STP) twisted pair cable with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends and gold‑plated contacts. Meets Cat8.1 standard for high‑speed Ethernet with data transfer rates up to 40,000 Mbit/s. Suitable for short interconnects in data centers, server cabinets and high‑performance LAN setups.

## Long description

GOOBAY CAT 8.1 S/FTP AWG26 RJ-45 to RJ-45 0.5 m white is a shielded patch cord designed for short interconnects in data centres, server cabinets and high-performance local area networks. The cable uses S/FTP (S‑STP) construction with individually foil-shielded pairs and an overall braid, AWG26 conductor size and RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts to ensure stable high-frequency transmission. The CAT 8.1 standard supports data rates up to 40,000 Mbit/s and can be integrated into high-speed links together with CAT 8.1-enabled components.
Advantages
The GOOBAY CAT 8.1 patch cord provides shielded transmission that reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting high bandwidth and reliable signal integrity for short connections. Its AWG26 conductors and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts promote consistent contact resistance and corrosion resistance. The compact 0.5 m length minimises cable clutter and insertion loss for server racks and patch panels where short, high-quality links are required.
Suitable for
Short patching between switches, servers and patch panels in data centres
High-performance LAN setups and backbone interconnects within racks
Environments requiring shielded cables to minimise EMI and maintain signal integrity

How to use
Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port of network devices, switches or patch panels until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m patch cord for short-distance links inside racks or cabinets to minimise excess cable length. Ensure that both ends and any intermediate couplers are CAT 8.1-capable if you intend to achieve the specified maximum data rates. Handle the cable without excessive bending or kinking and avoid sharp bends near the connectors to preserve shielding and performance.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use this CAT 8.1 patch cord for short in-rack connections and combine it with CAT 8.1-compliant RJ-45 couplers and installation cables. Avoid routing the cable alongside high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference and respect manufacturer bend radius specifications.
