## Summary description

GOOBAY 74345 is a 0.5 m networking cable compliant with Cat8.1 standard featuring U/FTP (STP) shielding for improved protection against electromagnetic interference. Both ends have RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer. Suited for high-speed LAN links, patch panels and short connections between network devices in data centers, server racks and office setups.

## Long description

GOOBAY 74345 Cat8.1 U/FTP (STP) Grey, 0.5 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts is a short, high-performance network patch cable designed for demanding LAN environments. Compliant with the Cat8.1 specification, this 0.5 metre cable uses U/FTP (screened foil twisted pair) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity. Both ends feature RJ-45 straight male plugs with gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity in server racks, patch panels and short device-to-device links.
Advantages
The cable's super-thin design and extra-short RJ-45 connectors reduce cable volume in confined cabinet spaces, improving air circulation and reducing heat build-up compared with conventional cabling. With a slim outer diameter and flexible TPE jacket, it offers a small bending radius and increased handling ease during installation. Gold-plated contacts support stable signal transfer and corrosion resistance, while the U/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external interference for high-speed transmissions.
Suitable for
Short patch connections in server racks and data centre patch panels
Direct links between network devices such as switches, routers and servers
Office LANs and compact network installations where space and airflow optimisation matter

How to use
Connect one RJ-45 plug to the port of a network device such as a switch, router or server and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the patch panel or end device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab engages. Use the 0.5 m length for short interconnections where minimal cable slack and reduced cable volume are required. Avoid excessive bending near the connector and follow cabinet routing practices to maintain airflow.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use this Cat8.1 U/FTP cable for short, high-speed links within server cabinets and patch panels. Maintain a gentle bend radius, avoid tight kinks, and keep the cable clear of strong electromagnetic sources where possible. When deploying in high-density racks, combine the cable's slim profile with organised patching to maximise airflow and heat dissipation.
