Network Cable DeLOCK RJ45 Cat.8.1 0.5m Black

The DeLOCK RJ45 Cat.8.1 network cable (0.5 m) is designed for high-speed Ethernet connections and supports 40GBASE-T applications with frequencies up to 2 GHz and data rates up to 40 Gbps. The slim patch cable has a reduced diameter for space-saving and flexible cabling, and the black colour and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors suit professional networking environments. The cable features F/FTP shielding for improved protection against electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The slim, low-diameter design allows routing in tight spaces and reduces cable congestion in cabinets and racks. Super flexible sheath material increases resistance to bending and mechanical strain, simplifying installation. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance, while F/FTP shielding improves signal integrity for high-frequency 40GBASE-T transmission.

Suitable for

• 40GBASE-T Ethernet links over short distances
• High-density patch panels and network racks where space is limited
• Server rooms and data centers requiring up to 40 Gbps throughput
• Connections between switches, routers and high-speed NICs with RJ-45 ports

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat.8.1
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Shielding: F/FTP (foil shielding overall with individual pair shielding)
• Maximum frequency: 2 GHz
• Maximum data rate: up to 40 Gbps (40GBASE-T)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding port on the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the slim cable through the rack or conduit, avoiding sharp bends below the cable's minimum bend radius to preserve performance. Use compatible Cat.8.1 ports and equipment rated for 40GBASE-T to achieve the specified data rates.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable runs short as intended for Cat.8.1, avoid excess tension or repeated tight bends, and use in environments with minimal strong electromagnetic interference. Verify that connected devices and patch panels support 40GBASE-T to utilize the full up to 40 Gbps bandwidth.
