## Long description

The Goobay CAT 8.1 S/FTP patch cord is a high-performance network cable engineered for demanding data environments. With a length of 5 meters, this cable supports extreme data transfer speeds of up to 40,000 Mbit/s, making it an ideal solution for modern high-speed networking requirements. The cable utilizes advanced S/FTP shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable and reliable signal transmission for professional-grade applications.
Advantages
This patch cord offers exceptional performance by providing a transmission bandwidth of up to 2,000 MHz, which is significantly higher than standard cables. The inclusion of gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensures optimal conductivity and long-term durability. Furthermore, the cable features a low-smoke and halogen-free LSZH sheath, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces. Its compatibility with Power over Ethernet standards adds versatility, allowing it to power network devices directly through the data connection.
Suitable for
High-speed data centers and server rooms
Professional networking infrastructure
40GBase-T Ethernet environments
Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications
Demanding gaming or workstation setups requiring minimal latency
This cable may not be suitable for basic home setups where standard Cat5e or Cat6 cables are sufficient, as the advanced capabilities of Cat 8.1 would be underutilized. Additionally, due to its robust shielding and thicker wire gauge, it is less flexible than thinner, unshielded cables, which might make it difficult to route through very tight spaces or sharp corners.
Key specifications
Cable length: 5 m
Connector type: RJ-45 (8P8C)
Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
Data transfer rate: Up to 40,000 Mbit/s
Bandwidth: Up to 2,000 MHz
Cable standard: Cat 8.1
Sheath material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
Contact plating: 50 μm gold-plated
To use this patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device, such as a switch, router, or network interface card. Ensure that the connector clicks firmly into place to guarantee a secure connection. The cable is designed for plug-and-play operation, requiring no additional configuration to achieve its rated performance, provided the connected hardware also supports the relevant network standards.
What to consider before purchase
Verify that your network hardware supports Cat 8.1 or is compatible with 40GBase-T standards.
Ensure the 5-meter length is sufficient for your specific installation layout.
Check if your environment requires LSZH-rated cables for fire safety compliance.
For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles and ensure that the connectors are kept clean and free of dust. When routing the cable, keep it away from high-voltage power lines to prevent potential signal interference.
