Network Cable Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PIMF) Patch Cable RJ-45 Cat8.1 3.0m Red

The Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PIMF) Patch Cable is designed for high-speed data transfer in demanding network environments. Constructed from quality materials and tested to industrial standards, this Cat 8.1 cable supports 40GBase-T applications and offers a data rate up to 40000 Mbit/s. The 3.0 m red cable features RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and S/FTP shielding to minimise interference and maintain signal integrity.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PIMF) shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide improved signal-to-noise margin and reduced crosstalk. Cat 8.1 specification enables higher bandwidth and stable, low-error performance for short-reach 40G connections. The 3.0 m length and robust construction make the cable suitable for rack, patch panel and switch interconnections while the red colour helps with visual identification.

Suitable for

• 40GBase-T switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections
• High-density data centres and server rooms
• Patch panels and structured cabling within short-reach links (up to intended application lengths)

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (PIMF)
• Data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s (40GBase-T)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 3.0 m
• Colour: Red
• Weight: 0.22 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of the switch, server or patch panel and the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding port on the paired device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and secured. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends, excessive pulling or running the cable parallel to strong electromagnetic sources despite the shielding.

Recommendations

Use this Cat 8.1 S/FTP patch cable for short-reach 40GBase-T links within racks and patched environments. Verify compatibility of network equipment for 40GBase-T and follow standard cabling practices to preserve shielding and connector integrity.
