Network cable Renkforce RF-6071556 Cat8.2 S/FTP (S-STP) 2 m, RJ-45 — Black

Renkforce RF-6071556 is a 2 m Cat8.2 network cable with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed LAN and short-range data centre links, this black cable supports data transfer rates up to 40,000 Mbit/s and provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference through foil and braid shielding. Its compact length is intended for connections between switches, patch panels and network devices where low latency and high bandwidth are required.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat8.2 specification enables 40 Gigabit Ethernet performance for demanding network applications. S/FTP (S-STP) shielding combines individual foil-wrapped pairs with an overall braided shield to reduce crosstalk and external interference. RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and plug-and-play use without additional configuration. The 2 m length is convenient for tidy, short runs in racks, desktop setups or between nearby equipment while the black jacket provides a discreet, professional appearance.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches, patch panels and servers
• High-bandwidth LAN segments and backbone links within equipment rooms
• Workstation-to-switch connections requiring low latency
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.2
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil + overall braid)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum data rate: 40,000 Mbit/s (40 Gigabit Ethernet)

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding Ethernet ports on your network devices, such as switches, routers, patch panels or network cards. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a reliable physical connection. For best performance, avoid repetitive tight bends and excessive compression of the cable along the run; maintain gentle curves and secure the cable without sharp kinks. When used in shielded installations, ensure proper grounding practices in the network rack or chassis to maximise shielding effectiveness.

Usage recommendations

Use this 2 m Cat8.2 cable for short, high-speed links inside equipment racks, between nearby devices on the desktop, or for backbone segments where 40 Gigabit throughput and shielded cabling are required. Avoid outdoor exposure and direct sunlight; not intended for permanent outdoor installations.
