Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PIMF) καλώδιο patch, LSOH, 0,5 m, μπλε

The equip® Cat 8.1 S/FTP Patch Cord is built from high-quality materials and tested to meet industry standards. Engineered for 40GBase-T environments, this Cat 8.1 cable supports data rates up to 40000 Mbit/s with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors with gold plating. With a 0.5 m length and blue jacket, it provides a compact, interference-resistant connection for demanding network setups.

Advantages

The Cat 8.1 S/FTP design offers improved bandwidth and enhanced signal-to-noise margin compared with lower-category cables. S/FTP shielding minimises electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance. Short length reduces latency and clutter in server racks and dense installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed 40GBase-T links in data centres
• Links between switches, servers and network appliances
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference
• Rack-to-rack and patch-panel connections in compact installations

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device port and the other to the target switch, server or patch panel. Ensure both ports support the intended 40GBase-T speed or will negotiate an appropriate rate. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on connectors; maintain proper bend radius and secure the cable to reduce movement and connector stress.

Recommendations

For reliable 40G performance, use the patch cord for short patching runs within racks or between adjacent racks. Verify compatibility of connected equipment for 40GBase-T and avoid running the cable parallel to strong power sources; replace the cable if connector contacts appear corroded or shielding is damaged.
