## Summary description

Full-copper IT-BUDGET Cat.8.1 slim patch cable with AWG28 conductors, 2000 MHz bandwidth and support for PoE+ and 40 Gbit data rates. Halogen-free construction reduces toxic fumes in case of fire. Designed for high-speed data centers, server rooms and professional LAN setups where compact, low-profile cabling and reliable performance are required. 5 m length, red color for easy identification.

## Long description

The IT-BUDGET Cat.8.1 slim full-copper patch cable is a 5 m, red network cable designed for high-speed LAN environments. Constructed with AWG28 full-copper conductors and a halogen-free jacket, the cable supports up to 2000 MHz bandwidth, PoE+ power delivery and 40 Gbit data rates. Its slim profile is intended to save space in dense cabling runs and to simplify visual identification in data centers, server rooms and professional network installations.
Advantages
This full-copper Cat.8.1 cable offers high bandwidth and low signal loss across short to medium patching distances, enabling stable 40 Gbit connections where supported by network equipment. The AWG28 conductors provide reliable electrical performance while the slim design reduces bulk and improves airflow in racks and trays. The halogen-free outer jacket reduces hazardous fumes in case of fire and the red color simplifies port and circuit identification for maintenance and troubleshooting.
Suitable for
Interconnects between switches and patch panels in data centers and server rooms
High-density rack installations where space-saving cable profiles are required
Professional LAN setups requiring PoE+ support for powered devices
Short to medium-length backbone links and high-speed workstation connections up to 5 m
When it may not be suitable
This cable is optimized for short to medium patching distances typical in racks and between adjacent equipment; it is not intended as a long-distance backbone cable. For environments that require certified outdoor-rated, UV-resistant or direct-burial cabling, this indoor halogen-free slim patch cable may not meet installation requirements. Ensure that connected network equipment and transceivers support 40 Gbit operation if such speeds are required.

How to use
Insert the RJ45 connectors into compatible ports on switches, patch panels or network devices, ensuring secure seating and correct orientation. Use the cable for patching between adjacent rack units, from switch ports to patch panels, or for short links to high-speed servers and workstations. Route the slim cable along cable managers and trays to maintain airflow and avoid sharp bends; adhere to equipment manufacturer guidelines for bend radius and PoE current loading.
What to consider before purchase
Verify that your switches and network devices support Cat.8.1 performance and required data rates.
Confirm that a 5 m patch length meets the physical layout and rack distances in your installation.
Check PoE and power budget requirements if powering devices over Ethernet with PoE+.
Ensure indoor halogen-free construction is suitable; this cable is not specified for outdoor or direct-burial use.
Usage recommendations
For predictable high-speed performance, use this IT-BUDGET Cat.8.1 slim full-copper cable for short patching runs in racks and between adjacent equipment, keep bend radius within manufacturer limits, and label colored cables to match patch panel and switch documentation for easier maintenance.
