Patchcord LANBERG S/FTP Category 8.1 1.5 m LSZH CU fluke passed red

LANBERG S/FTP Category 8.1 patchcord, 1.5 m in red, is a high-performance network cable designed for short, high-speed Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms. The cable uses stranded copper conductors and an S/FTP (shielded foil pair with overall braid) structure to minimise crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen) jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas emission in case of fire, making the cable suitable for installations where safety and low smoke are required. Fluke-tested compliance ensures reliable performance for demanding applications between switches, patch panels and servers.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design provides enhanced protection against alien crosstalk and external EMI, improving signal integrity over short runs. Stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for frequent routing and re-patching in dense rack environments. The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and hazardous gases in the event of fire, meeting safety requirements for many commercial and critical facilities. The red jacket simplifies visual identification and cable management in structured cabling systems. Fluke-tested verification gives assurance of performance and consistent connectivity.

Suitable for

• Short copper links between switches and patch panels in data centers
• Connections from patch panels to servers and network devices in racks
• High-speed Ethernet links where Category 8.1 performance is required
• Environments requiring low-smoke zero-halogen cabling for safety

Key specifications

• Category: 8.1 S/FTP (shielded pairs with overall braid)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Conductor: stranded copper (CU)
• Jacket material: LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen)
• Color: red
• Applications: short-range high-speed Ethernet, data centre patching
• Testing: Fluke-tested for performance verification

How to use

Install the patchcord by plugging the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or servers. Keep bends within the cable's minimum bend radius to preserve shielding and signal performance. Route the cable separately from major power sources when possible to minimise residual interference. For neat cable management, use labelled cable ties or colour-coded management panels that accommodate the 1.5 m length.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1.5 m LANBERG Category 8.1 S/FTP patchcord for short copper interconnects in racks and patch fields where Category 8.1 performance and LSZH safety characteristics are required; avoid extended outdoor exposure or runs beyond recommended short-link distances.
