DIGITUS patch cable - Cat 8.1 - S/FTP - AWG 24/7 - 2m - Black

The Digitus CAT 8.1 S/FTP RJ45 patch cable (20 m) is a high-end network cable designed for high-speed data transmission with a bandwidth of up to 2000 MHz and support for transmission rates up to 40 Gbit/s. It uses shielded twisted pairs (S/FTP) to reduce interference and improve signal integrity. The cable complies with ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 8.1 standards and is intended for use in data centers, server rooms and demanding industrial networks. The molded anti-kink grommet with strain relief and latching lever protection reduces the risk of connector damage and increases mechanical durability.

Advantages

The CAT 8.1 cable provides very high transmission performance (up to 40 Gbit/s at 2000 MHz) and improved signal integrity thanks to the RJ45 connector with integrated PCB. It is manufactured and tested according to international ISO/EN channel specifications and supports PoE standards IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt (Type 3 & Type 4). The constructed shielded pairs and robust molded grommet offer long-term stability and protection against mechanical stress.

Suitable for

• High-speed data center interconnects
• Server room cabling and rack connections
• Industrial Ethernet installations requiring high bandwidth
• Network links requiring PoE, PoE+ or PoE++ power delivery

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plug of the Digitus CAT 8.1 patch cable to the corresponding RJ45 port on network equipment such as switches, servers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical strain; use the molded anti-kink grommet to reduce stress near the connector. For best performance, keep overall channel length within your installation’s specified channel limits and follow standard cabling practices when installing in structured cabling systems.

Recommendations

Use this CAT 8.1 S/FTP patch cable for high-bandwidth links in data centers and server rooms. Avoid tight bending radii and excessive pulling force during installation. Verify compatibility with existing channel components to ensure the full CAT 8.1 channel performance.
