Wentronic Goobay CAT 8.1 S/FTP (PiMF) Patch Cable, 10 m, Black, LSZH Halogen-Free, Copper AWG 24

For high-speed networks where headroom matters, this Goobay CAT 8.1 patch cable delivers 40 Gbps performance over 10 metres without the bulk of typical Cat 8 solutions. The S/FTP construction with PiMF (pairs in metal foil) and a rugged LSZH jacket sets it apart from standard patch leads, making it a dependable backbone for data centres, server rooms, and PoE-powered devices.

Highlights

• CAT 8.1 specification supports up to 40 Gbps and 2000 MHz bandwidth
• S/FTP shielding with PiMF: each twisted pair is individually foil-wrapped, plus an overall braid
• Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket for safer indoor use in public and commercial buildings
• Pure copper conductors, AWG 24, for reliable signal integrity over the full 10 m length
• Gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion and ensure consistent contact
• Backward compatible with Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a, and Cat 7 networks
• PoE compatible – handles power and data over a single cable

In daily use

Whether you are wiring a 10 Gigabit workstation, linking a switch to a patch panel, or powering an IP camera, this cable maintains a clean signal with minimal crosstalk. The black LSZH jacket is flexible yet tough, and the halogen-free material means it produces little smoke and no toxic halogens in the event of a fire – a requirement in many modern building codes. The 10 m length gives you room to route neatly around desks, racks, or cable trays without pulling tight.
