Cablu patch Cat. 8.1 2m negru

When standard Cat6a cables hit their ceiling at 10Gbps, the DINIC C8-2 pushes into 40Gbps territory with full Cat 8.1 compliance. This 2-meter black patch cable is built for high-density data centers and enterprise networks where every rack unit counts. The S/FTP shielding—foil around each pair plus an overall braid—blocks alien crosstalk in bundles, while the LSZH jacket keeps toxic smoke out of the equation if fire ever breaks out.

Highlights

• Cat 8.1 (Class I) rating with 2000 MHz bandwidth—twice the headroom of Cat6a
• Supports 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T over short runs, ideal for top-of-rack switching
• S/FTP construction: individual pair foil plus overall braid for maximum EMI immunity
• 100% bare copper conductors (26 AWG stranded) for reliable PoE++ delivery up to 100W
• Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket—safer for enclosed spaces and plenum-adjacent areas
• 50µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity over thousands of insertions
• RoHS and CE certified, with an operating range from -20°C to 60°C

In daily use

In a 40GBASE-T server farm, this cable handles the full 40Gbps link between switch and server without adding latency or packet loss. The stranded copper core stays flexible even when routed through tight cable managers, and the snagless boots protect the locking tabs when you're pulling cables through bundles. For PoE++ devices like pan-tilt-zoom cameras or high-power access points, the 26 AWG conductors keep voltage drop minimal over the 2-meter length, ensuring your device gets the wattage it needs without overheating the cable.
