Câble patch Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP (PIMF), LSOH, 5,0 m, vert

The Equip Cat 8.1 S/FTP RJ-45 5.0m Green patch cable is a high-performance network cable engineered for demanding Ethernet environments. Designed for 40GBase-T cabling technology, this 5 metre cable uses S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to support data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s while minimising crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The outer sheath is made from LSOH material and the cable is finished in green for clear identification in structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP construction combines an overall shield with individually shielded twisted pairs to deliver improved protection against alien crosstalk and external noise sources. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs ensure reliable contact resistance and corrosion resistance over time. With support for 40GBase-T signalling and a 5 m length, the cable offers a balance between reach and performance for rack-to-rack, switch-to-server or patch-panel connections. The LSOH sheath reduces hazardous smoke and toxic gas emission in the event of fire, meeting workplace and building-safety considerations.

Suitable for

• High-speed server and switch interconnections in data centres
• Backbone and horizontal runs where 40GBase-T performance is required
• Patch panel to active equipment connections in professional network racks
• Environments requiring reduced smoke and low-toxicity cable jackets

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the networking device port and the other into the corresponding switch, patch panel or server port ensuring the connector is fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight loops or mechanical strain that could impair shielding or twisted pair geometry. For installations in racks or cable trays, secure the cable with appropriate ties or management accessories and maintain separation from high-voltage power cabling where practical to further reduce interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat 8.1 S/FTP cable for short to medium patch runs (up to 5 m) within data centre racks or equipment rooms. Verify that connected devices and network hardware support 40GBase-T where you intend to use the cable at maximum data rates. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and avoid kinking or compressing the cable to preserve shielding integrity and consistent transmission quality.
