SHIVERPEAKS Helos Cat 8.1 F/FTP Patch Cable, 5m, White, 25/40GBase-T, LSZH, Gold-Plated RJ45

High-performance Cat 8.1 patch cable engineered for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T networks, delivering exceptional speed and reliability in data centers and high-density environments. The SHIVERPEAKS Helos cable features double shielding (F/FTP) with PiMF (pairs in metal foil) to minimize crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable, error-free transmission over 5 meters. Constructed with 4 pairs of AWG 26 full copper conductors, it provides superior conductivity and signal integrity. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket makes it safe for use in public and enclosed spaces, emitting low smoke and no toxic halogens in case of fire. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors (50µ) resist corrosion and ensure a reliable connection. Integrated bend protection and latch protection enhance durability, preventing cable damage and accidental disconnections. This white cable is halogen-free and complies with EIA/TIA 568B wiring, making it ideal for professional networking installations.

Advantages

The double shielding (F/FTP) and PiMF design significantly reduce alien crosstalk, enabling high-speed data transfer up to 40 Gbps. Full copper conductors offer lower resistance and better performance over longer distances compared to copper-clad aluminum. The LSZH jacket meets strict fire safety regulations, making it suitable for offices, schools, and hospitals. Gold-plated connectors provide long-lasting, corrosion-resistant contacts. Bend and latch protection extend the cable's lifespan, even in demanding environments with frequent moves and changes.

Suitable for

• Data centers requiring 25G/40G Ethernet connections
• High-performance workstation and server connections
