Network patch cord LANBERG S/FTP Cat.8.1 1.5m LSZH CU fluke passed yellow

LANBERG S/FTP Cat.8.1 patch cord, 1.5 m length, with stranded copper conductors and LSZH outer jacket, designed for high-frequency Ethernet and data center environments. The cable supports Category 8.1 performance and has been fluke tested to verify signal integrity and compliance with transmission parameters. Its shielded S/FTP construction provides protection against electromagnetic interference, and the short 1.5 m length is intended for switch-to-patch-panel, server or short backbone connections where space and clear routing are required.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design combines an overall foil shield with individually foiled twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk and external interference, improving stable high-speed transmission up to Category 8.1 limits. Stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for frequent moves or dense patching, while the LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket minimizes toxic fumes and corrosive gases in the event of fire, which is important for enclosed or populated areas. Fluke testing ensures each patch cord meets electrical performance criteria for reliable link deployment.

Suitable for

• Short backbone runs and intra-rack connections in data centers
• Switch-to-patch-panel and switch-to-server links
• Environments requiring shielded cabling to mitigate EMI
• Installations where LSZH jacket is required for safety regulations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 8.1 (S/FTP)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Conductor type: Stranded copper (flexible patch conductor)
• Shielding: Overall foil shield plus individually foiled twisted pairs
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Connectors: Standard RJ45 patch cord terminations compatible with Cat.8.1 cabling
• Tested: Fluke tested for compliance with electrical performance parameters

How to use

Connect one RJ45 terminated end to the network switch or patch panel and the other end to the target device such as a server or network appliance. Ensure both connected ports are designed for shielded Category 8 or compatible shielded interfaces to maintain the shielding continuity; if required, attach proper shielded connectors or grounding at panels and equipment. Route the cable avoiding excessive bending radii and mechanical stress, and keep it separated from high-power electrical sources where possible to preserve signal quality.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this LANBERG S/FTP Cat.8.1 patch cord for short, high-speed links within racks or between closely located networking equipment. Verify that all components in the link (patch panels, jacks, and switch ports) support shielded connections and Category 8.1 specifications. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain recommended bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.
