Network Cable IT-BUDGET Vollkupfer Premium Patch Cable Slim AWG 28 Cat.8.1 2000 MHz halogen-free PoE+ 40GBit white 3 m

The IT-BUDGET Vollkupfer Premium Patch Cable Slim AWG 28 Cat.8.1 2000 MHz is a high-performance network cable engineered for fast, reliable data transmission in modern LAN environments. Constructed from full copper conductors and featuring a slim AWG 28 profile, this Cat.8.1 cable supports up to 2000 MHz bandwidth and is halogen-free for improved safety in enclosed installations. The cable also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE+) and 40 Gbit/s data rates, making it suitable for demanding applications where both power and high throughput are required over a single connection.

Advantages

The cable’s full copper conductors ensure low signal loss and stable transmission characteristics across the specified bandwidth. The slim AWG 28 design reduces cable bulk and simplifies routing in patch panels, cable trays and tight conduits while maintaining mechanical flexibility. Halogen-free insulation reduces toxic gas emission in case of fire and meets stricter building safety requirements. Integrated support for PoE+ allows connected devices to receive power without separate power cabling, and the Cat.8.1 specification supports multi-gigabit and 40 Gbit/s network infrastructures.

Suitable for

• High-speed backbone links and server room patching requiring up to 40 Gbit/s
• Connections to PoE+ devices such as access points, VoIP phones, and cameras
• Dense cable installations and managed patch panels where a slim diameter is beneficial
• Environments demanding reduced halogen content for safety and compliance

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into compatible network ports on switches, routers, patch panels or end devices. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain reliable contact. For installations using PoE+, verify that the supplying switch or injector and the powered device both support the required PoE class. Avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress on the cable; maintain recommended bend radius to preserve transmission performance. For permanent installations, secure the cable with suitable cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat.8.1 slim patch cable for short to medium patching runs in data centers, server rooms and high-density network closets. For runs longer than recommended patch lengths or for outdoor use, select appropriate rated cabling and follow local installation standards. Maintain separation from high-voltage power lines to minimize interference and follow PoE power budgets when powering multiple devices.
