Suitable for network patch panels, switches and high‑performance LAN installations requiring maximum shielding.

## Long description

GOOBAY CAT 8.1 Patch Cord S/FTP (PiMF) RJ-45 to RJ-45, 2 m, blue is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. With S/FTP (pair in metal foil) construction, gold-plated contacts and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, it supports very high data rates and offers strong protection against electromagnetic interference. The cable is intended for patch panels, switches and LAN installations that require maximum shielding and reliable transmission.
Advantages
The cable provides transmission bandwidth up to 2 GHz (2000 MHz) and is specified for 40 Gigabit Ethernet, delivering up to 40,000 Mbit/s for compatible network equipment. Its S/FTP design combines individual foil shielding for each pair with an overall braid, reducing crosstalk and external interference. RJ-45 plugs feature 50 µ gold-plated contacts and a locking lever for secure connections. The Cat 8.1 specification and robust sheathing make the cable suitable for demanding environments and high-resolution image transmission.
Suitable for
High-performance LAN patching between switches and patch panels
Data center links requiring 25/40GBASE-T connectivity
High-resolution gaming consoles and media devices (8K @ 60 Hz, 4K @ 120 Hz)
Power over Ethernet applications (PoE, PoE+, UPoE, 4PPoE)
When it may not be suitable
This Cat 8.1 patch cord is optimized for short-distance, high-bandwidth environments such as racks and patch panels; it is not intended as long-distance in-wall trunk cabling or outdoor installation where different specifications (weatherproofing, direct-burial rating) are required. For standard home networks that do not need 40G speeds, Cat 6A or Cat 7 cables may provide sufficient performance at lower cost.
Key specifications
Cable type: Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PiMF)
Shielding: Individual foil around each pair (PiMF) plus overall braid
Bandwidth: up to 2 GHz (2000 MHz)
Data rate: up to 40,000 Mbit/s (40 Gigabit Ethernet)
Length: 2 m
Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, straight male
Contact plating: 50 µ gold-plated contacts
Colour: Blue
PoE support: compatible with PoE, PoE+, UPoE, 4PPoE
How to use
Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other plug to the target device or port. Ensure connectors click into place with the locking lever for a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running parallel to strong power lines for prolonged distances to maintain signal integrity. For 25/40GBASE-T links, verify that connected equipment supports the required standards and port configurations.
What to consider before purchase
Intended use: rack/patching vs. in-wall or outdoor installation
Required network speed: whether 25/40GBASE-T capability is necessary
Length: 2 m may be short for some layouts—measure routing distance beforehand
Compatibility: confirm devices and ports support Cat 8.1 or negotiated speeds
Usage recommendations
Use this GOOBAY CAT 8.1 patch cord for short, high-bandwidth connections inside racks or between nearby network devices. Keep cable runs tidy, avoid tight bends and secure plugs in patch panels and switches to ensure stable 40G-capable links and minimal interference.
