LANBERG networking cable Cat8.1 S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45–RJ-45, 5 m, blue

LANBERG networking cable Cat8.1 S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45–RJ-45, 5 m, blue is a shielded high-speed Ethernet patch cable designed for demanding network environments. With Cat8.1 classification and S/FTP (overall braid plus foil-wrapped pairs) shielding, this 5 m cable provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference and supports very high data throughput for short-reach connections in server rooms, racks and active network equipment areas.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall metal braid and individual foil shields for each twisted pair to reduce crosstalk and external EMI. RJ-45 connectors on both ends provide universal compatibility with common switches, servers and network interfaces. The 5 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or device-to-patch-panel runs while keeping signal attenuation low. The cable is finished in blue to simplify visual identification within structured cabling layouts.

Suitable for

• Short-reach high-bandwidth links in data centers and server rooms
• Connections between switches, patch panels and top-of-rack equipment
• High-performance office networks requiring shielded cabling
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on each pair)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, straight
• Length: 5 meters
• Maximum data rate: up to 40,000 Mbit/s (for supported equipment and link conditions)
• Color: Blue

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the network device and the other end into the corresponding port on the switch, patch panel or server. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and avoid running it in parallel and close proximity to power cables or other strong EMI sources. For rack installations, use cable management panels or ties to maintain organized runs and avoid stress at connector ends.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat8.1 S/FTP cable for short-distance, high-speed connections where shielding and low crosstalk are required. Verify that connected devices and intermediate components (patch panels, jacks) support Cat8 or equivalent performance to achieve maximum throughput. Avoid excessive bending radius and mechanical strain; store unused lengths coiled without tight loops.
