Network patch cable MaxTrack TI52-2L CAT 8.1 S/FTP 2 m, black, RJ45 90° left-angled

MaxTrack TI52-2L is a CAT 8.1 S/FTP RJ45 patch cable, 2 m long and finished in black. The cable implements an S/FTP shielding scheme and is fitted with a 90° left-angled RJ45 connector to enable space-efficient terminations in racks, switches or equipment with limited port clearance. Designed for short-distance, high-bandwidth links, this cable supports shielded Ethernet deployments in data centers, server rooms and professional network installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides pair-level foil shielding combined with an overall braid to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity for high-frequency transmissions. A CAT 8.1 specification ensures the cable can carry multi-gigabit Ethernet signals over short runs, while the 90° left-angled RJ45 connector reduces strain on the port and saves space behind equipment. The 2 m length offers a practical balance between reach and cable management in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches and servers in racks
• High-bandwidth links in data centers and server rooms
• Cabled connections where port clearance is limited or right-angle routing is required
• Professional network installations requiring shielded Ethernet cabling

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (pair foil + overall braid)
• Connector type: RJ45, 90° left-angled
• Length: 2 m
• Colour: black
• Suitable for multi-gigabit shielded Ethernet
• Typical use: short-range, high-frequency data links

How to use

Route the MaxTrack TI52-2L cable from the network device to the corresponding port, aligning the 90° left-angled RJ45 plug so it fits the available clearance behind the equipment. Insert the plug firmly until the latch clicks to ensure proper electrical contact and shielding continuity. Avoid sharply bending the cable near the connector; maintain gentle radius turns to preserve transmission performance. For installations in racks or trays, secure the cable along its run using appropriate cable management hardware to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT 8.1 S/FTP cable for short runs up to the recommended distance for CAT 8 deployments and maintain proper grounding of shielded systems. Keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise where possible, avoid excessive bending or kinking, and inspect connectors periodically for secure seating. Use matched shielded patch panels and devices with shielding continuity to fully benefit from the cable's S/FTP design.
