## Summary description

## Long description

The Goobay CAT 8.1 Patch Cord (5 m) is a high-performance network cable designed for very high data rates and stable signal transmission. It uses S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 plugs to maintain reliable connections and reduce interference. The vivid blue sheath and robust construction make it suitable for demanding home and business network setups that require low latency and high bandwidth.
Advantages
This patch cord supports very high transfer speeds and offers excellent protection against electromagnetic interference thanks to its S/FTP shielding. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance, while the high-quality inner conductors and sturdy outer jacket provide stable signal integrity and mechanical durability over extended use.
Suitable for
High-speed LAN connections in homes and offices
Data centers and server racks requiring short, high-bandwidth links
Transmission of high-resolution video, including 8K @ 60 Hz and 4K @ 120 Hz
Applications needing low latency and minimal interference
When it may not be suitable
This 5 m Cat 8.1 cable is optimized for short-range, high-bandwidth connections; it is not intended for long-distance runs where fiber optic solutions would be more appropriate. It may be over-specified for simple, low-speed home networking needs where Cat5e or Cat6 cables already suffice.
Key specifications
Length: 5 m
Cable category: Cat 8.1 (S/FTP shielding)
Maximum data rate: up to 40,000 Mbit/s
Connectors: RJ-45, gold-plated
Conductor configuration: 8-wire (4 pairs)
Color: blue
How to use
Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (switch, router, or network card) and the other end into the corresponding port on the connected device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources for best performance.
What to consider before purchase
Verify that your networking equipment supports the bandwidth and speeds you intend to use.
Assess cable length requirements; Cat 8.1 is best for short runs up to the intended distance.
Consider whether S/FTP shielding is necessary in your environment or if lower-category cable would suffice.
Usage recommendations
Use this Goobay CAT 8.1 5 m patch cord for high-bandwidth short links such as connections between server ports and switches or high-performance workstations. Keep cable runs tidy, avoid tight bends, and pair with compatible equipment to achieve the specified transfer rates.
