Network patch cable VALUE CAT 8.1 S/FTP LSOH, stranded, green — model 21.99.1831

VALUE CAT 8.1 S/FTP LSOH stranded patch cable in green is a high-performance Ethernet cable designed for short, high-bandwidth links. The cable uses stranded conductors for flexibility, S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and a low-smoke, halogen-free (LSOH) jacket for safer installation in confined or public spaces. It supports Category 8.1 performance parameters for modern network environments where short runs between equipment require very high data rates and signal integrity.

Advantages

The stranded construction provides enhanced flexibility and easier routing in patch panels, server cabinets and cable management systems compared with solid-core alternatives. S/FTP shielding—an overall foil with individually screened twisted pairs—delivers improved protection against alien crosstalk and external interference, maintaining signal quality in dense installations. The LSOH jacket minimizes toxic emissions and dense smoke in case of fire, meeting safety requirements for indoor and public-space cabling. The green jacket allows quick visual identification of circuit types or network segments.

Suitable for

• Short, high-speed connections between servers, switches and patch panels in data centers and telecom rooms
• Patch cabling in equipment racks and network cabinets where flexibility is required
• Indoor installations requiring low-smoke, halogen-free outer jackets for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Category: Category 8.1 performance class suitable for high-frequency Ethernet applications
• Conductor type: stranded (litze) for improved flexibility
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Jacket material: LSOH (low smoke, zero halogen) for reduced toxic emissions
• Color: green for easy identification
• Designed for short-range, high-bandwidth patch connections

How to use

Install the VALUE CAT 8.1 S/FTP stranded patch cable by plugging the RJ45 connectors into compatible network ports on switches, servers or patch panels. Route the cable with gentle bends and avoid sharp kinks to preserve the stranded conductors and shielding integrity. For best performance, keep cable lengths within recommended short-link distances for Category 8.1 applications and separate from high-power cabling where possible to reduce interference.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility of connected equipment with Category 8.1 cabling and ensure patch panels and ports support the intended throughput. Use cable management accessories to prevent stress on connectors and maintain bend radii. For installations in public or enclosed spaces, prefer LSOH-jacketed cables like this model to meet safety standards regarding smoke and halogen emissions.
