GoodConnections Cat. 8.1 Flat Patch Cable U/FTP PiMF LSZH White 0.5m 40Gbps 2000MHz 8080-F005W

High-speed Cat. 8.1 flat patch cable engineered for 40 Gigabit Ethernet, delivering up to 2000 MHz bandwidth in a sleek, low-profile design. Ideal for data centers, server rooms, and high-performance workstations where space is tight and performance is non-negotiable.

Advantages

This cable combines exceptional speed with a flat, flexible form factor that routes easily under carpets, along baseboards, or through tight cable management channels. The U/FTP construction with individually foil-shielded pairs (PiMF) virtually eliminates crosstalk and EMI, ensuring reliable 40GBASE-T transmission. The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogens in case of fire, making it safe for enclosed spaces. Backward compatible with Cat.6a, Cat.6, Cat.5e, and Cat.5 networks.

Suitable for

• 40GBASE-T Ethernet connections up to 30 m (Cat.8.1)
• High-density data center patching and server links
• Workstations requiring maximum throughput with minimal cable bulk
• PoE applications (PoE, PoE+, 4PPoE) for powering devices
• Environments where LSZH cabling is mandated (public buildings, transport)
