## Long description

IT-BUDGET Vollkupfer Slim AWG 28 Cat.8.1 2000 MHz PoE+ 40 Gbit red 3 m is a shielded, full-copper patch cable designed for short-run high-speed connections in server rooms, switches and dense data centre environments. The cable uses a slim AWG 28 conductor design and Category 8.1 specification to deliver up to 2000 MHz bandwidth and support 40 Gbit Ethernet over a 3 m length. A halogen-free outer jacket and red colour make the cable suitable for installations where clear visual identification and low-toxicity materials are required. The cable also supports PoE+ power delivery for compatible devices.
Advantages
The cable provides full-copper conductors for consistent signal integrity and reduced attenuation compared with copper-clad alternatives. Its Cat.8.1 shielding and construction deliver high bandwidth and reduced crosstalk for demanding short-reach links. The slim AWG 28 profile helps save space in dense patching areas while maintaining 40 Gbit throughput on short runs. A halogen-free jacket reduces corrosive gas emissions in case of fire, and the red color simplifies circuit identification during installation and maintenance.
Suitable for
 High-speed connections between servers, switches and top-of-rack equipment in data centres
 Short-reach 40 Gbit links in cabling closets and equipment racks (up to manufacturer-recommended distances)
 Patch panels and dense cabling environments where slim cable profiles are beneficial
 Applications requiring PoE+ power delivery to endpoints such as access points or IP devices
When it may not be suitable
This cable is intended for short-reach, high-speed patching and may not be appropriate for long-distance backbone runs or installations that require fibre optic transmission. For environments using copper-clad aluminium or where lower-cost, lower-bandwidth cabling is acceptable, this full-copper Cat.8.1 cable may be more capable than necessary. Also, while the cable supports PoE+, it does not change device power requirements or replace dedicated power infrastructure.

How to use
Use this patch cable to connect network equipment located within the same rack or adjacent racks where a 3 m reach is sufficient. Insert RJ45 connectors into compatible ports on switches, servers or patch panels, ensuring connectors are seated firmly. Route the cable through cable management to avoid sharp bends and reduce stress on connectors; maintain bend radii recommended for high-frequency shielded cables. Observe standard ESD and safety practices when connecting or disconnecting equipment.
What to consider before purchase
 Verify that 3 m length suits your rack or equipment layout
 Confirm that connected devices and switch ports support 40 Gbit or the desired data rate
 Check whether a Cat.8.1 shielded cable is required by your installation standards and grounding practices
 Ensure PoE+ compatibility and power budget requirements for powered devices
 Consider colour-coding scheme and whether red is appropriate for your environment
Usage recommendations
Avoid kinking or tightly coiling the cable and keep separation from high-power electrical lines. For optimal performance at high frequencies, maintain proper termination and grounding of shielded components and use compatible high-performance ports and patch panels.
