Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PIMF) Patch Cable, LSOH, 1.0m, Green

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 1.0 m green patch cable features RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and S/FTP shielding to minimize interference and maintain signal integrity in demanding network environments, including 40GBase-T applications.

Advantages

The Cat 8.1 S/FTP cable provides higher bandwidth and improved signal-to-noise margin compared with lower-category cables, enabling ultrahigh and low-error performance for short-reach 40G deployments. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connector contact and corrosion resistance, while the S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centers
• 40GBase-T short-reach links and aggregation ports
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Network equipment patching where a 1.0 m cable length is appropriate

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the patch cord to the network port of your switch, router or server and the other end to the corresponding patch panel or device port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click and avoid excessive bending near the connector boots. For reliable 40GBase-T operation keep the cable within recommended maximum lengths for copper short-reach connections.

Recommendations

Use this equip® Cat 8.1 S/FTP patch cable for short-reach, high-bandwidth copper links in data centers or rack environments. Avoid routing alongside strong power cables and maintain proper bend radius to preserve shielding and performance.
