## Summary description

GOOBAY CAT 8.1 patch cord, 3 m length, S/FTP (PiMF) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends.

Ideal for high‑speed Ethernet links between switches, servers and patch panels in data centres and professional LAN environments.

## Long description

GOOBAY CAT 8.1 S/FTP (PiMF) patch cord, 3 m in length with RJ-45 connectors at both ends, designed for high-speed Ethernet links in professional LAN and data centre environments. The cable uses S/FTP (paired in metal foil) shielding and 99.9% oxygen-free copper (OFC) AWG 24 conductors, a halogen-free (LSZH) sheath and gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs to maintain reliable signal transfer for Cat8.1 networks and 40GBase-T applications. The black finish and precise plug fit make it suitable for visible rack installations as well as concealed structured cabling.
Advantages
The S/FTP (PiMF) shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference, supporting stable, low-error data transmission at high frequencies. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance over time. The 99.9% oxygen-free copper conductors and AWG 24 gauge ensure consistent signal conductivity, while the LSZH sheath minimises hazardous emissions in case of fire, meeting safety expectations for indoor installations. The 3 m length offers flexibility for connections between switches, patch panels and servers without excessive slack.
Suitable for
 40GBase-T and other high-speed Ethernet links in Cat8.1 networks
 Connections between switches, patch panels and servers in data centres
 Professional LAN infrastructure and structured cabling installations
 High-resolution video and AV transmission where shielded cabling is required
Key specifications
 Cabling category: Cat 8.1
 Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with foil around each pair, PiMF)
 Conductor material and purity: 99.9% oxygen-free copper (OFC)
 Conductor gauge: AWG 24
 Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
 Cable length: 3 m
 Sheath material: low smoke zero halogen (LSZH)
 Colour: Black
How to use
Connect one RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on your switch, server or patch panel and the other RJ-45 plug to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tight cable ties; maintain the recommended bend radius for Cat8.1 cabling to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For best results, label both ends for identification in structured cabling systems.
Usage recommendations
For reliable 40GBase-T performance, use the patch cord within short horizontal or patching runs as part of a fully compliant Cat8.1 cabling system. Avoid running near strong electromagnetic sources and terminate into compatible, shielded RJ-45 ports to preserve the S/FTP shielding effectiveness.
