## Summary description

GOOBAY 74354 is a 2 m Ethernet patch cable meeting Cat8.1 standard with U/FTP (STP) shielding for reduced crosstalk and EMI. Fitted with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends and gold‑plated contacts for reliable signal transfer. Suitable for high‑speed LAN connections, server racks, switches and short‑reach data center links requiring shielded cabling.

## Long description

GOOBAY 74354 is a 2 m Cat8.1 Ethernet patch cable with U/FTP (STP) shielding and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. The cable combines a super-slim TPE jacket, slim AWG 32 copper conductors and extra-short RJ45 connector housings to reduce cable volume in server cabinets and patch panels while maintaining high transmission performance. Gold‑plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. Designed for short-reach, high-speed LAN links, this cable supports modern Ethernet standards and offers improved airflow and reduced heat build-up in dense installations.
Advantages
The cable’s U/FTP (STP) shielding lowers crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, providing stable signals in electrically noisy environments. Its super-thin construction and extra-short connectors decrease the material footprint in racks and patch panels, improving air circulation. A low-smoke, halogen‑free TPE jacket with compact bend protection offers a small bending radius and high flexibility for easy routing. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts support consistent connectivity and long-term reliability.
Suitable for
High-speed LAN connections in office and server-room environments
Server racks and patch panels where reduced cable volume and improved airflow are needed
Switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links over short distances in data centers
Power over Ethernet deployments (PoE, PoE+, UPoE, 4PPoE) and HDBaseT applications

How to use
Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of your switch, router or network device and the other RJ‑45 plug to the corresponding port on the endpoint device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure connection. Route the cable through racks or cable channels, observing the small bending radius allowed by the compact bend protection. For shielded performance, ensure both connected devices or patch panels provide proper grounding for the cable shield.
Usage recommendations
Use this Cat8.1 U/FTP cable for short-reach, high-speed links where reduced cable volume and improved airflow are priorities. Install in shielded or properly grounded environments to benefit from the cable’s STP shielding. Avoid excessive mechanical stress and sharp bends beyond the specified bending radius to maintain performance and durability.
