## Summary description

GOOBAY Cat8.1 network cable, 0.5 m length, with U/FTP (STP) shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Designed for high-speed Ethernet connections and reduced electromagnetic interference, suitable for short patching between switches, routers and servers. Compact black cable for reliable data transfer in home or office networks.

## Long description

GOOBAY Cat8.1 U/FTP (STP) RJ-45–RJ-45 Black 0.5 m is an ultra-slim, high-speed network cable designed for short patching between switches, routers and servers. The cable combines a reduced outer diameter and extra-short RJ45 connectors to minimise cable volume in server cabinets and patch panels, improving air circulation and reducing heat build-up. It features U/FTP shielding, gold-plated RJ45 plugs on both ends and a low-smoke, halogen-free TPE jacket for flexible, reliable connections in home and office networks.
Advantages
The super-thin construction with AWG 32 conductors and a 3.8 mm outer diameter provides material efficiency and flexibility while maintaining performance comparable to standard CAT cables. Extra-short RJ45 connectors and compact bend protection reduce space usage and the risk of cable damage. Shielding (U/FTP) and gold-plated contacts improve signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference, and the TPE jacket offers a small bending radius and low smoke in case of fire.
Suitable for
High-speed short patching between switches, routers and servers
Patch panels and dense server cabinet installations with limited space
Ethernet networks requiring 25/40GBASE-T or backward-compatible connections (10/100/1000/10G)
Power over Ethernet applications (PoE, PoE+, UPoE, 4PPoE) and HDBaseT
Key specifications

How to use
Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router or server) and the other plug to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Use the 0.5 m length for short, direct patching in cabinets or between nearby devices to keep cable runs tidy and maintain optimal airflow around equipment.
Usage recommendations
For best performance, avoid tight bends beyond the cable's recommended bending radius and route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources. Use this Cat8.1 patch cable for short runs where high bandwidth and minimal cable volume are required; for longer distances choose appropriate stranded or solid-core cables of the correct category for permanent installations.
