LANBERG Cat8.1 S/FTP (S-STP) network cable, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 1 m, blue

LANBERG Cat8.1 S/FTP (S-STP) network cable, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 1 m, blue is a fully shielded patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet and short-range data centre interconnects. The cable features S/FTP (individually foil-shielded pairs with an overall braided shield) construction and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, providing reliable signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference for professional and home network environments. With a 1 m length and a compact blue jacket, this patch cord is intended for connections between switches, servers, routers and patch panels where high bandwidth and low crosstalk are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) shielding minimizes EMI and crosstalk, improving throughput and link stability in congested cabling environments. Short 1 m length reduces signal attenuation and clutter in rack-mounted setups while maintaining gigabit and higher transmission capabilities. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure reliable mating and corrosion resistance, and the robust outer jacket provides mechanical protection for frequent mating and cable management operations.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches and patch panels in data centres and server rooms
• Connecting high-end servers and routers in rack installations
• Short-length backbone or equipment-to-equipment links in network racks
• Home labs or professional workspaces requiring shielded high-speed links

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually foil-shielded pairs with overall braided shield)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, straight plug on both ends
• Length: 1 m
• Color: Blue
• Conductor type: Copper conductor (solid/stranded as per cable design)

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network device port and the other into the corresponding port on the switch, patch panel or network interface. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the retaining latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and strong electromagnetic sources; maintain proper bend radius to preserve transmission performance. For rack installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to avoid strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this LANBERG Cat8.1 S/FTP cable for short patching runs where shielding and high bandwidth are essential. Avoid exceeding recommended bend radius and prevent exposure to direct mechanical stress; replace if connector damage or jacket abrasion is observed. For optimal performance in mixed-shielding environments, ensure connected devices and panels support or are compatible with shielded cabling and that shields are correctly bonded to grounding points.
