DIGITUS verkkokaapeli - Cat 8.1 - S/FTP - AWG 24/7 - 3m - musta

The DIGITUS Patch Cable CAT 8.1 RJ-45, 3 m, is a high-performance S/FTP network cable designed for demanding environments that require up to 40 Gbit/s transmission. The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 8.1 standards and is suitable for installations where channel compliance and high bandwidth up to 2000 MHz are required. The 3 m black cable features gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and integrated PCB contact technology for stable long-term connections.

Advantages

This CAT 8.1 patch cable delivers maximum network performance with support for transmission rates up to 40 Gbit/s at 2000 MHz. The RJ45 connector with integrated PCB improves signal integrity and long-term stability. S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, while molded anti-kink grommets with strain relief and locking-lever protection protect the plug and latch from damage. The cable supports IEEE 802.3af/at/bt PoE standards for powered devices.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centers and server rooms
• Industrial network installations requiring shielded cabling
• Professional LAN backbones and switch-to-switch connections
• Applications using PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to a compatible network switch, router or patch panel and the other plug to the target device. Ensure that connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid excessive bending near the molded grommet to maintain signal integrity. Use appropriate cable management in racks and conduits to preserve shielding and reduce stress on the strain relief.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the patch cable within structured cabling channels compliant with the CAT 8.1 specification and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Regularly inspect connectors and strain reliefs for physical damage and replace cables showing wear to maintain guaranteed transmission characteristics.
