The DCONNECT Horizontal CAT8.1 S/FTP Cable is a premium-grade, high-frequency network cable engineered for ultra-high-speed data transmission in data centers and enterprise networks. Designed with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs and an overall braided shield, it delivers exceptional protection against EMI and crosstalk.
Built with 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) sheath, this cable supports bandwidths up to 2000 MHz and data rates up to 40Gbps over short distances. It meets or exceeds ISO/IEC 11801 and ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 8.1 performance standards, ensuring reliable, high-speed performance in demanding environments.
Ideal for 25G/40GBASE-T applications, the cable is fire-rated to IEC 60332-1-2 and designed for use in high-density, safety-critical installations.
