Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PIMF) Patch Cable, LSOH, 2.0m, Black

The Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PIMF) RJ-45 patch cable, 2.0 m in black, is built for high-speed wired networks and tested to meet industry standards. With support for 40GBase-T and data rates up to 40000 Mbit/s, the cable uses S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to maintain signal integrity and reduce interference. The jacket is made from LSOH material for improved safety in enclosed installations.

Advantages

The Cat 8.1 S/FTP construction provides superior bandwidth and improved signal-to-noise margin compared with lower-category patch cords. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connectivity and corrosion resistance, while the 2.0 m length offers flexibility for rack and workstation connections. LSOH jacketing minimizes smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire.

Suitable for

• High-density data centers and server rooms
• 40GBase-T network links and backbone connections
• Rack-to-switch and switch-to-switch short runs
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and locked. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends, excessive tension, or running the cable alongside high-power electrical lines that may introduce interference.

Recommendations

The cable is intended for short to medium in-cabinet or inter-rack connections up to 2.0 m. For long-distance links use appropriate optical or copper solutions rated for the required length and bandwidth. Inspect connectors before installation and replace damaged cables to maintain network reliability.
