Network Cable DeLOCK RJ45 Cable plug to plug Cat.8.1 2 m black

The DeLOCK RJ45 cable plug to plug Cat.8.1 is a 2 m network cable designed for high-speed 40GBASE-T Ethernet connections. It supports frequencies up to 2 GHz and data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps. The cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a flexible black sheath that increases resistance to mechanical strain. U/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference to help maintain stable connectivity.

Advantages

This Cat.8.1 cable provides support for 40GBASE-T applications with up to 2 GHz bandwidth and 40 Gbps throughput. The U/FTP shielding improves signal integrity by minimising crosstalk and external interference. The flexible outer sheath enhances durability and makes the cable easier to route in tight spaces. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with network equipment that supports Cat.8.1 implementations.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections up to 40GBASE-T
• Data centres and server racks requiring short, high-bandwidth links
• Workstations, switches or routers with RJ-45 ports supporting Cat.8.1
• Environments where reduced interference and flexible routing are needed

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your network device and the other plug to the corresponding port on the switch, router or server. Ensure both connected devices support the desired 40GBASE-T speeds and Cat.8.1 cabling. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and route the cable to minimise mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 cable for short, high-bandwidth links in controlled environments such as data centres or server rooms. Keep cable runs within recommended lengths for Cat.8.1 and avoid sharp bends or prolonged exposure to heavy mechanical strain.
