BKL Electronic 144029 RJ45 Patch Cable CAT 8.1 S/FTP 1 m Black Halogen-Free

The BKL Electronic 144029 stands out with CAT 8.1 performance in a compact 1 m length, delivering 40 Gbit/s over S/FTP shielding with a halogen-free LSZH jacket. It handles 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T Ethernet while remaining backward compatible with CAT 6a, CAT 7, and CAT 7a installations.

Highlights

• CAT 8.1 rated for up to 2000 MHz bandwidth
• S/FTP shielding: each pair foiled, overall braid screened
• Gold-plated RJ45 connectors for reliable contact
• LSZH jacket: low smoke, zero halogen for safer installations
• Stranded copper conductors (AWG 26/7) for flexibility

In daily use

This 1 m patch cable connects servers, switches, and patch panels in data centres or high-density racks. The black jacket blends into structured cabling, and the LSZH material reduces toxic smoke in the event of fire. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, maintaining signal integrity over repeated insertions.
