Networking Cable Renkforce RF-4538188 Cat8.1 1m Black

The Renkforce RF-4538188 Cat8.1 networking cable is a 1 m black Ethernet cable engineered for high-speed wired connections. Constructed with F/FTP shielding and precision RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and is intended for environments where low interference and reliable throughput are required. The compact 1 m length suits close-proximity connections between routers, switches and devices while the black outer jacket offers a discreet, professional appearance.

Advantages

F/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for more stable transmission over short distances. The Cat8.1 specification enables high bandwidth and low latency suitable for modern network equipment. Premium RJ-45 connectors ensure secure physical contact and consistent electrical performance. The 1 m length minimizes excess cable clutter in desk, rack or home office setups and the durable outer jacket provides resistance to everyday wear.

Suitable for

• Connecting high-speed routers, switches and network interface cards in data centers or home labs
• Short-distance backbone links within server racks or between adjacent network devices
• Wired connections for streaming, online gaming and large file transfers
• Professional workstations and home office setups requiring reliable wired networking

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Length: 1 m
• Shielding: F/FTP (foil-screened overall with individually foil-screened pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Color: black

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your router, switch or network device and insert the other connector into the target device. Ensure each connector is fully seated until the latch clicks to maintain a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain gentle curves to preserve the internal wiring and shielding. For best performance, use this cable for direct, short-distance links within the same rack or between nearby devices.

Usage recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and maintain a reasonable separation from sources of electromagnetic interference. Inspect connectors regularly and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage. Use appropriate cable management to reduce strain and extend service life.
