Cavo di rete Wentronic 61096 5m Cat8.1 S/FTP RJ-45 nero

The Wentronic 61096 5m Cat8.1 S/FTP RJ-45 Black networking cable provides a high-performance copper connection for modern wired networks. Designed to the Cat8.1 specification with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts, this 5-metre cable supports very high data rates and improved immunity to external interference. The black outer jacket is flexible and durable for both desktop and rack-mounted environments, making it suitable for short-range connections between switches, routers, servers and high-speed client devices.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat8.1 classification enables elevated bandwidth and signal integrity compared with lower-category copper patch cords. S/FTP (shielded with foil around each pair and an overall braided shield) reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in congested installations. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve corrosion resistance and ensure reliable electrical contact. The 5 m length offers a balance between reach and tidy cable management in data closets and office desks.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data cabinets
• High-speed workstations and NAS connections requiring low-latency links
• Home or small office networks where higher bandwidth and shielding are needed
• Environments with multiple nearby cables or electronic equipment causing potential interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 copper cable supporting high-frequency transmission
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid plus individually foil-shielded pairs
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 5 metres
• Color: black outer jacket
• Cable use: patch cable for short to medium distance connections

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the networking device (switch, router or network interface on a PC/server) and the other plug to the corresponding network port. Ensure ports and devices support the intended speeds and that patch panels or couplers used in-line are rated for the same or higher category to preserve signal quality. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and compressive loads; maintain separation from sources of strong electromagnetic noise when possible.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within rack or desk installations where cable runs do not exceed the intended 5 m length. When integrating into a structured cabling system, ensure all components such as patch panels and keystone jacks are compatible with Cat8 or at least Cat6A/Cat7 specifications. Avoid tightly coiling the cable and keep connectors free of dust to maintain reliable contact.
