Network Cable IT-BUDGET Vollkupfer Premium Patch Cable Slim AWG 28 Cat.8.1 2000 MHz halogen-free PoE+ 40GBit grey 5 m

The IT-BUDGET Vollkupfer Premium Patch Cable Slim AWG 28 Cat.8.1 2000 MHz halogen-free PoE+ 40GBit grey 5 m is a high-performance copper network cable engineered for reliable, high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Designed to meet Category 8.1 performance, this slim patch cable supports a wide frequency range up to 2000 MHz and is rated for 40 Gbit/s link speeds. The halogen-free jacket increases safety in confined or public spaces, while the AWG 28 conductor profile reduces bulk for easier routing and connector fit in dense cable runs.

Advantages

The full-copper construction ensures stable signal integrity and consistent performance under heavy traffic. A 2000 MHz bandwidth and Cat.8.1 specification provide headroom for high-throughput applications and future network upgrades. The slim AWG 28 profile simplifies installation in patch panels, racks, and cable ducts where space is limited. Halogen-free material minimizes toxic gas emissions in case of fire, and PoE+ compatibility allows delivery of power and data over the same cable for connected devices.

Suitable for

• High-density data center patching and rack interconnects
• Office LANs requiring 10/25/40 Gbit/s connectivity
• Power over Ethernet powered devices such as access points and VoIP phones
• Environments where low-smoke, halogen-free cabling is preferred
• Tight cable routes and structured cabling installations

How to use

Install the patch cable by plugging the RJ45 connectors into corresponding ports on switches, routers, patch panels or powered devices. Ensure connectors are fully seated and locking tabs engage to maintain a secure connection. Route the cable through cable management channels or trays to avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radii; the slim AWG 28 design eases routing in constrained spaces. Verify link speed and PoE negotiation through network equipment interfaces after connection.

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, avoid tight bends and excessive tension during installation. Use cable management accessories in racks and patch panels to maintain separation from electrical power lines and reduce electromagnetic interference. Periodically check connectors for secure seating and replace cables that show physical damage. Match cable category and connector quality throughout the link to achieve the expected bandwidth and data rates.
