Networking Cable Wentronic 61114 0.5m Cat8.1 S/FTP RJ-45 Grey

The Wentronic 61114 networking cable is a 0.5 m Cat8.1 S/FTP patch cable with RJ-45 connectors in grey. Designed for short-link, high-performance connections, this cable supports modern networking environments that require increased bandwidth and reduced interference. The S/FTP (shielded foil over pairs with overall braid) design enhances protection against electromagnetic interference, while the Cat8.1 specification ensures suitability for high-speed data transmission over copper for short distances in data centers, server interconnects, and professional network racks.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat8.1 performance with S/FTP shielding to provide high bandwidth capability and improved signal integrity. Its 0.5 m length minimizes signal loss and latency for direct device-to-device links. Standard RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with existing Ethernet ports and network equipment without the need for specialized adapters. The grey jacket delivers a neutral, unobtrusive appearance for tidy installations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches, patch panels and servers in racks
• High-speed Ethernet links where low latency and high bandwidth are required
• Home lab and small data center environments requiring shielded cabling
• Direct connections for NAS, high-performance workstations and network appliances

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 suitable for high-frequency, short-reach copper Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually foil-shielded pairs with overall braided shield)
• Connector: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male, compatible with standardized Ethernet ports
• Length: 0.5 m for short-run connections and minimal signal degradation
• Jacket color: grey for neutral integration into installations

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your networking equipment until the latch clicks in place. Use the 0.5 m cable for short interconnects such as between adjacent rack units, a switch and a patch panel, or a server and a top-of-rack switch. Ensure the connectors are fully seated and free from strain; do not bend the cable sharply at the connector to avoid damaging pairs or shielding. For equipment with retained shielding contacts, align connector shields as required to maintain continuity.

Usage recommendations

For best results use the cable in shielded environments and maintain proper cable routing to avoid strong electromagnetic sources. Avoid excessive bending radii near connectors and secure cables to prevent mechanical stress. Verify network equipment supports the intended transmission rates and keep runs within recommended Cat8.1 copper length limits for reliable performance.
