Networking Cable ROLINE 21.15.0005 100m Cat8 SF/UTP Yellow

The ROLINE 21.15.0005 is a 100 m Cat8 SF/UTP (S-FTP) networking cable designed for high-performance short-distance applications. Compliant with Category 8 standards, it supports up to 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T on compatible hardware and offers improved data transfer rates over earlier twisted-pair cables. The cable is halogen-free, flame-retardant (LSOH) and GHMT certified for quality and performance. Its yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in installations.

Advantages

Cat8 compliance ensures higher bandwidth and lower crosstalk for short-distance links. SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and improves signal integrity in noisy environments. The 100 m spool length suits longer runs within racks or between equipment where a single continuous cable is required. LSOH construction minimizes toxic gases and smoke in case of fire, and GHMT certification confirms tested quality and performance.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T connections in data centers
• High-speed backbone links within server rooms and racks
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Installations where cable identification is important (yellow jacket)

How to use

Cut the required length from the 100 m spool and terminate both ends with suitable Cat8-compatible RJ45 connectors or keystone modules following manufacturer termination guidelines for SF/UTP (S-FTP) cables. Maintain proper cable handling to avoid excessive bending or crushing; observe recommended minimum bend radius. Test the terminated link with appropriate certification or continuity tools to verify performance and correct wiring.

Recommendations

Use this Cat8 SF/UTP cable for short-distance, high-speed links where shielding and LSOH construction are required. Verify that connected devices and active equipment support 25G/40G over twisted pair and follow industry termination and testing standards to ensure expected performance.
