DIGITUS patch cable - Cat 8.1 - S/FTP - AWG 24/7 - 1m - Black

The DIGITUS Patch Cable CAT 8.1 S/FTP RJ45 1m in black is a high-performance network patch cable designed for demanding environments. It supports transmission rates up to 40 Gbit/s and a bandwidth of up to 2000 MHz, with shielded twisted pairs to reduce interference. The cable is equipped with an RJ45 connector with an integrated PCB for improved signal integrity, a molded anti-kink grommet with strain relief and latching lever protection for increased durability. It is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 8.1 standards, making it suitable for data centers, server rooms and industrial applications.

Advantages

The CAT 8.1 S/FTP construction and integrated PCB RJ45 connector provide enhanced signal stability and low crosstalk, tested up to 2000 MHz. Support for PoE standards (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt) enables power-over-Ethernet applications. The molded anti-kink grommet with strain relief and latch protection increases mechanical reliability and reduces the risk of connector damage during installation and use. Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 ensures conformity with channel specifications for high-performance network installations.

How to use

Connect the 1 m Digitus CAT 8.1 patch cable between the RJ45 ports of network devices such as switches, patch panels and servers. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid strong mechanical strain; use the molded strain relief to protect the plug. For rack installations, keep cable lengths and bend radii within the recommended values of the equipment manufacturer and cabling standard.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within a structured cabling channel that meets CAT 8.1 specifications and avoid running it in close parallel to strong electromagnetic sources. Replace cables with visible damage and test installations with appropriate certification tools when used in professional data-center or industrial environments.
