Certified Cat8.1 Class I Cable

This Intellinet Cat8.1 S/FTP patch cable delivers 40G throughput at 2000 MHz bandwidth. The 3 ft blue cable uses pure bare copper conductors with individual pair foil and overall braid shielding. Gold-plated contacts and snag-free boots ensure durable connections for data centre top-of-rack and middle-of-row installations.

Upgrade From Lower Category Cabling

Replacing Cat6a or Cat7 links with this cable enables 25G and 40G speeds where older categories cap at 10G. The jump is worth it when switch ports and NICs already support 25G or 40G operation and the run length stays within the 3 ft reach. Existing Cat5e or Cat6 infrastructure cannot carry these frequencies regardless of cable quality.

Verify Connector Clearance And Port Density

Check that the snag-free boot profile fits the port spacing on your patch panels and switch line cards. Confirm the equipment uses standard RJ45 pinout and supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ if you plan to deliver power over the link. Ensure the 24 AWG stranded construction matches your bend-radius requirements for the intended routing path.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 AWG stranded conductors and snag-free boots fit through a standard keystone jack or patch panel port?

Yes, the 24 AWG stranded wire and snag-free boot design are built to RJ45 dimensions and pass through standard keystone jacks and patch panel ports without snagging.

Do I need to ground the aluminum braid and foil shielding when terminating the RJ45 plugs?

The cable uses S/FTP shielding with an overall aluminum braid and foil per pair; the factory-terminated RJ45 plugs connect the shield internally, so no separate grounding step is required during installation.

How long will the 50 micro-inch gold-plated contacts resist corrosion in a PoE++ environment?

The 50 micro-inch gold plating on the contacts is specified for corrosion-free operation under IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ loads, maintaining reliable connectivity over the cable's service life.
