Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PIMF) Patch Cable, LSOH, 0.5m, Black

The Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP Patch Cord is built from high-quality materials and tested to meet industry standards. Designed for high-speed data transfer up to 40000 Mbit/s, this Cat 8.1 cable provides increased bandwidth and improved signal-to-noise margin for reliable, low-error performance in demanding network environments. The 0.5 m length and RJ-45 connectors with gold plating make it suitable for short connections where durability and stable contact are required. The S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, and the LSOH jacket improves safety for indoor installations.

Advantages

The Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP patch cord offers ultrahigh transmission rates and better protection against crosstalk and external interference thanks to its S/FTP shielding. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Its short 0.5 m length is convenient for patch panels and rack-mounted equipment, while the LSOH outer sheath reduces harmful smoke emission in case of fire.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections
• Data center short-reach links (40GBase-T)
• Patching between rack-mounted equipment
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, server or patch panel and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Use the 0.5 m cable for short-distance links inside racks or between adjacent devices to avoid excess cable slack that can impede airflow.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat 8.1 S/FTP patch cord in shielded or properly grounded installations and maintain proper bend radius. Avoid routing the cable alongside high-power electrical lines to minimize interference and ensure connectors remain clean and undamaged.
