Wentronic Goobay CAT 8.1 Patch Cable S/FTP (PiMF), Grey, 0.5 m 61114

High-speed networks demand cabling that can keep up with 25/40 Gigabit Ethernet, yet many installations still rely on older cable standards that bottleneck performance. This CAT 8.1 patch cable delivers the bandwidth and shielding required for modern data centers and high-performance workstations.

Who is it for

Network administrators, IT professionals, and enthusiasts who need a reliable, future-proof connection for 25G/40G Ethernet applications over short distances.

Main features

• CAT 8.1 standard with 2000 MHz bandwidth and 40 Gbit/s data rate
• S/FTP (PiMF) shielding: each pair is foil-wrapped, plus an overall braid for superior noise immunity
• Gold-plated RJ45 connectors (50µ) for corrosion resistance and reliable contact
• Stranded copper conductors (AWG 26/7) for flexibility and durability
• Grey PVC jacket for easy identification and protection
• Backward compatible with CAT 6a, CAT 6, CAT 5e, and CAT 5 networks
