Patch cable VALUE Cat.8.1 S/FTP LSOH, stranded, yellow

VALUE Cat.8.1 S/FTP LSOH patch cable in yellow is a high-performance stranded patch lead designed for short connection runs in data centres, server rooms and enterprise networks. The cable features S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually foiled pairs) to minimize crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, and a low-smoke, halogen-free (LSOH) jacket to reduce hazardous emissions in indoor environments. Stranded conductors provide flexibility for frequent rearrangement and routing in patch panels, racks and switch cabinets while delivering Category 8.1 performance for high-speed Ethernet applications.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction delivers enhanced protection against near-end crosstalk and external noise sources, supporting stable links at high frequencies. The LSOH jacket improves safety in confined indoor spaces by emitting lower smoke and no halogenated corrosive gases in case of fire. Stranded conductors and flexible outer sheath simplify cable handling, installation and re-patching on switches and patch panels. The yellow jacket provides clear visual identification for organized cabling and easy troubleshooting.

Подходит для

• Short copper links between switches, patch panels and servers
• High-speed Ethernet connections in data centres and server rooms
• Indoor installations requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1 performance for high-frequency applications
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braided shield with individually foiled pairs
• Conductor type: Stranded conductors for flexibility
• Jacket material: Low-smoke, halogen-free (LSOH)
• Colour: Yellow for visual identification
• Intended use: Short patching runs in racks and cabinets

How to use

Use this VALUE Cat.8.1 S/FTP LSOH patch cable to connect RJ45 ports on switches, patch panels, servers and network appliances. Route the cable through cable management trays or along rack uprights to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain. Terminate both ends in compatible Cat.8.1/RJ45 jacks or plug assemblies rated for Category 8.1 to maintain specified performance. For best results, keep cable lengths appropriate for copper Category 8 short-link recommendations and avoid bundling with large power cables where possible.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connectors and cable jackets before installation, avoid tight bends (observe manufacturer minimum bend radius), and ensure connectors are fully seated to preserve shielding continuity. For permanent horizontal cabling beyond short patch runs, consider appropriate structured cabling components that meet installation standards for Category 8.
