Network patch cable MaxTrack TI52-5L CAT 8.1 S/FTP 5 m, black, 90° left-angled RJ45

Shielded MaxTrack TI52-5L CAT 8.1 S/FTP patch cable, 5 m in black with a 90° left-angled RJ45 connector designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. The S/FTP construction combines a single overall braid shield with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over short to medium distances. The left-angled RJ45 plug permits compact routing in tight spaces such as patch panels, switches and wall outlets where strain relief and port clearance are important.

Advantages

This CAT 8.1 S/FTP cable supports high-frequency transmission, offering improved shielding compared with unshielded and simple foil designs for more stable data transfer in electrically noisy environments. The 90° left-angled RJ45 connector facilitates neat cable management and minimizes bending radius at the connector, reducing stress on ports and improving longevity. The 5 m length provides flexibility for typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-wall outlet connections without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms where shielded, high-speed links are required
• Professional network installations with limited space behind equipment
• High-performance home networks and media streaming setups
• Switch-to-patch-panel or wall outlet connections that need angled connectors

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector 1: RJ45 90° left-angled
• Connector 2: RJ45 straight (standard)
• Length: 5 m
• Color: black
• Typical use: Ethernet, up to CAT 8 performance parameters

How to use

Install the cable by plugging the 90° left-angled RJ45 connector into the desired port with the bend oriented to fit the space behind the device; insert the opposite RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on the switch, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks and avoid sharp bends or kinks within the first few centimeters from each connector. When routing, maintain separation from strong electrical noise sources and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this shielded CAT 8.1 S/FTP cable in environments where EMI reduction and compact connector orientation are priorities. For optimal performance, pair with compatible shielded ports and grounded patch panels or keystone jacks to maintain the shielding continuity. Avoid repeated heavy flexing near the connector and keep bend radius above manufacturer-recommended limits.
