## Summary description

GOOBAY CAT 8.1 patch cable, U/FTP shielded and ultra-flexible, 0.5 m length in white. Slim design for tight installations and high-density patch panels; supports Cat8.1 performance for up to 2000 MHz bandwidth and high-speed Ethernet connections. Ideal for short links between switches, routers and servers in home or data center environments.

## Long description

GOOBAY CAT 8.1 U/FTP slim patch cable, 0.5 m, white — a super-slim, ultra-flexible Ethernet lead designed for short connections in high-density environments. The cable uses U/FTP shielding and slim copper conductors with a soft TPE jacket to combine Cat8.1 performance (up to 2000 MHz bandwidth) with a very small bending radius and reduced cable volume. Extra-short RJ-45 plugs and a compact design make it suitable for tight installations in server cabinets, patch panels and behind network equipment where airflow and space efficiency matter.
Advantages
The cable delivers Cat8.1-level transmission capability with a bandwidth up to 2 GHz while maintaining a notably small outer diameter and high flexibility thanks to AWG 32 conductors and a low-smoke, halogen-free TPE jacket. U/FTP shielding helps protect against external interference for reliable high-speed links, and the extra-short RJ-45 connectors reduce material bulk in patch panels to improve air circulation. The compact bend protection extends service life by reducing mechanical stress at the connector.
Suitable for (tasks / use cases)
Short links between switches, routers and servers in racks and cabinets
High-density patch panels and data center top-of-rack connectivity
Home server rooms or small office setups requiring space-efficient cabling
Applications demanding high bandwidth and low interference, including 25/40GBASE-T and multi-gigabit Ethernet
When it may not be suitable
This 0.5 m patch cable is intended for short fixed connections and is not designed as a general-purpose long-reach cable. For installations that require long horizontal runs or external outdoor cabling, a longer, weatherproof or purpose-designed cable would be more appropriate. The slim construction prioritises flexibility and space savings over heavy-duty mechanical protection, so it may not be ideal where abrasion or frequent mechanical stress occurs.
Key specifications
Cable type: Cat 8.1 U/FTP (shielded twisted pairs with overall drain)
Bandwidth: up to 2000 MHz (2 GHz)
Supported Ethernet: up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GBASE-T) and backwards compatible with 10/100/1000/10G standards
Length: 0.5 m
Connectors: RJ-45 straight male to RJ-45 straight male
Conductor size: AWG 32
Outer diameter: approx. 3.8 mm
Jacket material: low-smoke, halogen-free TPE
Shielding: U/FTP (individually shielded pairs)
PoE support: compatible with PoE, PoE+, UPoE and 4PPoE
Colour: White
How to use
Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or server and the other plug to the corresponding device or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Use the cable for short patching runs inside cabinets or between adjacent devices; avoid tight kinking and maintain a bend radius consistent with the cable's slim construction. When routing in dense racks, position cables to benefit airflow and avoid sharp edges or compression at connector points.
What to consider before purchase
Required cable length — this product is 0.5 m and suited for short connections only
Compatibility with your network equipment's supported speeds (up to 40G where applicable)
Need for shielded cable in your environment to reduce interference
Space constraints in racks or patch panels where slim, extra-short connectors are beneficial
Whether a more rugged or longer cable is needed for exposed or outdoor runs
Usage recommendations
Use the GOOBAY CAT 8.1 U/FTP slim cable for short, high-speed internal connections where space and airflow in racks or patch panels are priorities. Route gently to preserve the cable's bending radius and avoid pinching at connectors; the shielded design and PoE compatibility make it suitable for demanding, interference-sensitive installations.
