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

The Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP Patch Cord is made from high-quality materials and tested to meet industry standards. Designed for 40GBase-T environments, this Cat 8.1 cable supports data rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and features RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts. The S/FTP shielding minimises electromagnetic interference, and the 2.0 m green jacket provides a durable, visible connection for demanding network setups.

Advantages

The Cat 8.1 S/FTP construction delivers higher bandwidth and an improved signal-to-noise ratio compared with lower-category cables, enabling ultrahigh, low-error data transmission. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the 2.0 m length balances reach and cable management. S/FTP shielding offers robust protection against external interference in dense or noisy network environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections
• Data centres and enterprise networks requiring 40GBase-T
• Backbone or horizontal cabling in server rooms
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the patch cord to a network device such as a switch or server and the other end to the corresponding port on the paired device. Ensure both ports are rated for the intended speed (40GBase-T) and that cable routing avoids sharp bends and mechanical stress. For best performance, use with compatible Cat 8.1 or higher infrastructure components and maintain proper grounding of shielded systems.

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, avoid kinking the cable, keep separation from mains power lines where possible, and verify connector seating. Use this Cat 8.1 S/FTP patch cord in rack and cabinet installations where 2.0 m length is appropriate and replace if visible damage or connector wear is present.
