## Summary description

High-performance IT-BUDGET Cat.8.1 slim patch cable with full copper conductors (AWG 28) and 2000 MHz bandwidth.

## Long description

The IT-BUDGET Cat.8.1 Slim AWG 28 patch cable is a high-performance network cable designed for short runs in data centers, server racks and high-speed local area networks. With full copper conductors and a frequency rating up to 2000 MHz, this 1 m red cable supports 40 GBit data rates and Power over Ethernet applications up to PoE+. Its halogen-free jacket and slim profile make it suitable for dense cabling environments where space, heat and safety are considerations.
Advantages
This slim Cat.8.1 cable combines full copper AWG 28 conductors with a 2000 MHz bandwidth to deliver reliable high-speed transmission. The halogen-free outer sheath reduces harmful emissions in case of fire, and the compact design eases routing in crowded racks and panels. Color-coding in red helps with identification and organized patching. Support for PoE+ and 40 GBit ensures compatibility with modern switches, uplinks and server connections.
Suitable for
Short patch leads in data center racks and server cabinets
Switch-to-switch or switch-to-panel connections requiring 40 GBit performance
High-density cable runs where slim profile simplifies routing
PoE+ powered devices such as access points, VoIP phones and cameras (within PoE+ limits)
When it may not be suitable
The 1 m length is intended for short interconnects; it is not suitable for long-distance horizontal cabling or backbone links. Although rated for 40 GBit and PoE+, this cable is optimized for short, high-frequency runs and may not replace structured cabling solutions designed for longer distances or environments requiring specific fire-retardant certifications beyond halogen-free.
