Cavo di rete Goobay 0,25m Cat8.1 S/FTP RJ-45

Goobay Networking Cable 0.25m Cat8.1 S/FTP RJ-45 (WENTRONIC, MPN 61102) is a short patch cord with a 0.25 m length, AWG 26 copper conductor and LSZH halogen-free jacket. The cable is manufactured to Cat 8.1 specification with S/FTP shielding (foil around each pair and an overall aluminum braid) and terminated on both ends with RJ45 (8P8C) plugs featuring 50 µm gold-plated contacts and latch protection. The assembly is GHMT type-approved and tested in a 2-connector channel (1×24 m installation cable + 2×3 m patch cords) for Class I performance up to 2 GHz, supporting 25GBase-T and 40GBase-T while remaining backward compatible with 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T.

Advantages

The CAT 8.1 S/FTP patch cord delivers a transmission bandwidth up to 2000 MHz—about four times the bandwidth of CAT 6A—while providing enhanced protection from electromagnetic interference thanks to individual pair foil shielding and an overall braid. Its gold-plated contacts ensure low contact resistance and reliable signal transfer. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and avoids halogen emissions in case of fire. GHMT certification confirms compliance with standardized testing in a 2-connector channel.

Suitable for

• High-speed server and switch interconnects in data centers
• 25GBase-T and 40GBase-T Ethernet connections
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Installations where low-smoke, halogen-free cabling is required

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, patch panel or network interface) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the adjacent device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. For optimal performance follow the tested channel configuration: a single 24 m installation cable plus two 3 m patch cords or equivalent validated channel lengths. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable during installation to preserve shielding and conductor integrity.

Recommendations

Use this Cat 8.1 S/FTP patch cord within GHMT-approved channel configurations for verified Class I performance up to 2 GHz. Store and route the cable in controlled data-center environments and avoid exposure to mechanical strain, oils or solvents to maintain long-term performance.
