DeLOCK RJ45 Network Cable Cat.8.1 F/FTP Slim 0.5 m blue

This DeLOCK RJ45 Network Cable Cat.8.1 F/FTP Slim 0.5 m blue is a slim patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet. It supports 40GBASE-T operation at frequencies up to 2 GHz and enables data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps. The slim construction reduces cable diameter for flexible, space-saving routing in network cabinets while F/FTP shielding helps protect against electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The slim design offers improved flexibility and easier management in crowded racks and tight spaces. F/FTP shielding provides individual pair foil plus overall foil for enhanced protection against crosstalk and external noise. The cable uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends and is suitable for short connections where a compact profile is required.

Suitable for

• High-speed server and switch interconnects within racks
• 40GBASE-T Ethernet links over short distances
• Space-constrained cabling runs in network cabinets

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the appropriate port on your device (switch, server or network interface) and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the peer device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and secured. Use the 0.5 m slim cable for short runs inside racks or between adjacent devices to maintain signal integrity and minimise clutter.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 F/FTP slim cable for short 40GBASE-T links and avoid stretching or sharp bends. Route the cable with gentle curves and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources. Verify compatibility of connected ports for 40GBASE-T operation.
