High-speed LAN connection for home and office
The Extralink CAT 8.1 S/FTP patch cable is an ideal choice for any user seeking the highest level of network performance and stability. The 0.5-meter long, blue cable is made with pure copper conductors, providing excellent data transmission properties, low attenuation, and long lifespan.
Supporting 40 Gbps bandwidth and designed for modern gigabit, 10G, or even 40G networks, it is particularly recommended for connecting gamer PCs, servers, NAS devices, high-speed routers, switches, and other network devices, especially over short distances.
CAT 8.1 standard – future-proof network solution
CAT 8.1 category cables represent one of the most advanced copper-based network solutions currently available. They offer significantly higher bandwidth and frequency range than traditional CAT 5e, CAT 6, or CAT 6A cables, making them ideal for high data traffic environments.
- Maximum speed: up to 40 Gbps
- High transmission frequency: up to 2000 MHz
- Compatible with lower categories (CAT 5e, CAT 6, CAT 6A, CAT 7)
- Reliable connection even under high load
S/FTP shielding for stable and interference-free signal transmission
The S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) construction features both external braided shielding and individual foil shielding around each twisted pair. This design provides maximum protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
- Braided external shielding against external interference
- Individually foil-shielded twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk
- Stable connection even in noisy, industrial or office environments
- Optimized signal quality at high bandwidths
The shielded construction is especially important in environments where many electronic devices operate close to each other, such as data centers, office server rooms, or gaming/streaming workstations.
Pure copper conductors – reliability and durability
The twisted pairs inside the cable are made of pure copper, not copper-clad aluminum (CCA). This offers several advantages:
- Lower electrical resistance, better signal transmission
- Less signal loss over longer distances
- Better compatibility with PoE (Power over Ethernet) solutions
- Longer lifespan, mechanical durability
Thanks to the pure copper conductors, the network connection is more stable, and the ping and latency values are more predictable, which is crucial for online gaming, video conferencing, or real-time data transmission.
0.5-meter length – ideal for short connections
The 0.5 m patch cable provides a compact solution when devices are located close to each other. This allows for efficient and neatly arranged cabling while avoiding excessive cable clutter.
- Neat cabling in rack cabinets
- Short connection between router and switch, or switch and server
- Optimal solution for direct connection between desktop and wall socket
- Improved cable management with less excess length
Blue color design – easy identification
The blue color coating makes it easier to identify cables in a densely cabled environment. This is particularly advantageous in rack cabinets, server farms, and offices where multiple categories or functions of network cables run in parallel.
Using different colors allows for quick identification of which wire belongs to which network, device, or subnet, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance.
