Networking cable VALUE 21.99.1800 S/FTP Cat8.1 100 m Grey

VALUE 21.99.1800 S/FTP Cat8.1 is a high-performance networking cable designed for next-generation twisted-pair cabling. This 100 m grey cable supports Category 8 standards and is suitable for short-distance 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T applications, offering significantly higher data transfer rates while being halogen-free and flame-retardant (LSOH).

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable high-speed connections. As a Cat8.1 cable, it enables up to four times faster data transmission compared to lower-category copper cabling over compatible links. The cable's LSOH construction reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire, and the 100 m length provides flexibility for home and office installations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links
• High-speed internet connections for homes and small offices
• Gaming, 4K/8K streaming and large file transfers
• Wiring backbones and switch-to-switch connections within data rooms

How to use

Install the cable according to standard network cabling practices: route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference, terminate with compatible Cat8-rated connectors or patch panels, and test each link with appropriate certification or verification tools to confirm performance up to Cat8.1 specifications. For permanent installations, secure the cable with suitable clips or trays and maintain recommended bend radius.

Recommendations

Use this VALUE Cat8.1 S/FTP cable for short-run high-bandwidth links where 25G or 40G over twisted pair is required. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and install in environments within the manufacturer's recommended temperature range. For longer runs or mixed legacy infrastructure, verify compatibility with connected equipment and consider professional testing after installation.
