LANBERG patchcord S/FTP Cat.8.1 1.5 m LSZH CU, fluke passed, green

LANBERG patchcord S/FTP Cat.8.1 1.5 m LSZH CU, fluke passed, green is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for short-range, high-speed network links. The cable features S/FTP construction (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded pairs), copper conductors and a low‑smoke, halogen‑free (LSZH) jacket. Fluke testing guarantees compliance with Category 8.1 performance for applications that require minimal crosstalk and strong protection against electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The S/FTP design provides robust shielding that reduces alien crosstalk and EMI, improving signal integrity in dense rack and data centre environments. The copper conductors ensure consistent electrical performance and lower attenuation over short distances. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for installations with stricter safety requirements. The 1.5 m length and durable connectors ease patching between switches, patch panels and servers.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections in data centres and server rooms
• Patching between switches, routers, patch panels and servers
• High-speed Ethernet links requiring Category 8.1 performance
• Environments where low-smoke, halogen-free cabling is preferred

How to use

Use this LANBERG Cat.8.1 S/FTP patchcord to connect network equipment over short distances where Category 8.1 bandwidth and controlled interference are required. Insert the RJ45 plugs into the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or servers, ensuring secure seating. Avoid sharp bends near the connector boots and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for high‑category shielded cables. Route the cable to minimise exposure to strong EMI sources and keep the shield terminations intact for effective grounding.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable in short runs (typically within cabinet or rack environments) and ensure both ends are properly grounded to preserve the shielding benefits. Periodic inspection of connectors and strain relief areas will help maintain reliable connections in dense installations.
