Network Cable Lindy 0.5m Cat.8.1 RJ-45 S/FTP Grey

The Lindy 0.5m Cat.8.1 RJ-45 S/FTP LSZH network cable supports bandwidths up to 2000 MHz and is suitable for high-speed Ethernet up to 40GBase-T. The cable features S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus foil around each wire pair), RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a grey low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath for safer use in public or enclosed spaces. Gold-plated contacts provide long-term, corrosion-resistant connections and the cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 standards. Available lengths include 0.3 m, 0.5 m, 1 m, 1.5 m, 2 m, 3 m and 5 m.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction and support for frequencies up to 2000 MHz reduce interference and enable 25GBase-T and 40GBase-T operation. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable contact quality and resistance to corrosion. The snagless connector design protects the latch during installation and removal. The LSZH outer sheath minimizes smoke and eliminates halogen emissions, making the cable suitable for public and safety-conscious installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centers and server interconnects
• 40GBase-T and 25GBase-T Ethernet links
• Short patch runs in telecom rooms and racks (0.5 m nominal length)
• Installations in public buildings and enclosed spaces requiring low smoke / zero halogen materials

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plug on one end of the cable to the network port of your switch, router or network interface card and the other end to the corresponding device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages; the snagless strain relief protects the latch during insertion and removal. Use appropriate cable management in racks or patch panels to avoid excessive bending and tension that could impair performance.

Recommendations

For best performance in high-speed installations, use Cat.8.1 S/FTP cables for short-reach links (typically within racks or between adjacent racks) and avoid sharp bends or kinks. Choose the shortest practical length to minimize excess cable and maintain proper shielding continuity.
