## Summary description

Shielded GOOBAY CAT 8.1 patch cord with S/FTP (PiMF) construction, 5 m length and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Gold-plated contacts and Cat8.1 standard support up to 40,000 Mbit/s data transfer, suitable for high-speed LAN, server racks, switches and data centers requiring reduced crosstalk and improved EMI protection.

## Long description

GOOBAY CAT 8.1 Patch Cord S/FTP (PiMF) RJ-45 to RJ-45, 5 m, blue is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed LAN connections. The cable uses S/FTP (foil for each pair + overall braid) construction and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, supporting data rates up to 40,000 Mbit/s and wide transmission bandwidths for demanding network environments such as server racks, switches and data centres.
Advantages
The cable provides a high transmission bandwidth (up to 2 GHz) and Cat8.1 performance that is backward compatible with earlier Ethernet standards. Its S/FTP (PiMF) shielding and robust connector design with gold-plated contacts improve signal stability and EMI protection. With RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a 5 m length, the patch cord is suited for typical rack and patch-panel routing while supporting Power over Ethernet applications.
Suitable for
 High-speed LAN connections in homes and offices
 Server racks, switches and data centres requiring reduced crosstalk
 Applications requiring up to 25/40GBASE-T Ethernet
 High-resolution media and gaming (8K @ 60 Hz, 4K @ 120 Hz)
 Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments
When it may not be suitable
This Cat8.1 cable is optimized for short-to-medium runs in high-performance networks; it can be over-specified for basic home internet uses where Cat5e or Cat6 cables already meet speed requirements. For very long-distance deployments beyond typical patch or rack cabling, other structured cabling solutions or fibre optic links may be more appropriate.
Key specifications
 Cable type: Cat 8.1, S/FTP (PiMF)
 Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
 Length: 5 m
 Transmission bandwidth: up to 2 GHz (2000 MHz)
 Supported speeds: up to 25 Gigabit and 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40,000 Mbit/s)
 Shielding: foil for individual pairs + overall braided shield
 Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
 Colour: blue
How to use
Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding network port on your switch, patch panel or device. Route the 5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible to preserve signal integrity. The cable supports standard Ethernet negotiation and can be used immediately after plugging in; for PoE devices ensure your switch or injector supports the required PoE standard.
What to consider before purchase
 Verify that your network equipment supports 25/40GBASE-T if you require those speeds
 Assess cable length needs — 5 m is suitable for patching and short rack runs
 Decide if heavy shielding is necessary for your environment to reduce EMI
 Check PoE requirements if you plan to power devices over the cable
Usage recommendations
Use the GOOBAY CAT 8.1 patch cord for short to medium high-speed connections in racks, switch-to-switch links or high-performance home networks; avoid tight bends and keep the cable clear of strong power lines to maintain optimal performance.
