Network Cable Lindy 2m Cat.8.1 RJ-45 S/FTP Grey

Network Cable Lindy 2m Cat.8.1 RJ-45 S/FTP Grey is a 2 meter Cat.8.1 patch cable with S/FTP shielding and LSZH jacket, designed for high-speed Ethernet links up to 40GBase-T. The cable supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz, uses gold-plated RJ45 contacts for stable signal transmission and corrosion resistance, and features an integrated snagless connector for latch protection. The halogen-free LSZH sheath reduces smoke and toxic emissions, making the cable suitable for installations in public and confined spaces.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction (braid overall shield and foil for each pair) provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold-plated pins improve conductivity and reduce the risk of signal loss over time. The snagless connector design protects the RJ45 latch during installation and removal, while the LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire. The product is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 standards and comes with a 10 year warranty.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centers and server room connections
• 40GBase-T and 25GBase-T Ethernet links
• Short-range backbone and switch-to-server connections
• Installations in public buildings and confined spaces requiring low-smoke halogen-free cable

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other to the corresponding port on the connected device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable; use appropriate cable management to maintain bend radius and prevent stress on the RJ45 connectors. For optimal performance, keep the cable length within recommended distances for intended Ethernet standard and avoid running parallel to high-power electrical lines.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP LSZH cable for short to medium length high-speed links where low-smoke halogen-free materials are required. For long runs between distribution points, verify the supported link distance for the chosen Ethernet standard and consider using fiber if distances exceed copper specifications.
