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

The Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP Patch Cord is built from high‑quality materials and tested to meet industry standards. Designed for 40GBase‑T networks, the cable supports data rates up to 40000 Mbit/s, features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, gold‑plated RJ‑45 connectors for reliable contact, a 2 m length and an LSOH jacket for safer installation.

Advantages

The Cat 8.1 construction delivers increased bandwidth and improved signal‑to‑noise margin compared with lower categories, enabling ultrahigh and low‑error performance in demanding network environments. S/FTP shielding minimizes crosstalk and external interference, while gold‑plated RJ‑45 connectors ensure stable connectivity. The LSOH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire.

Suitable for

• High‑speed server connections and data centre links
• 40GBase‑T network deployments
• Switch‑to‑switch or switch‑to‑server short runs (up to 2 m)
• Environments requiring low smoke zero halogen (LSOH) cabling
