High-performance network connections start with the Intellinet Network Solutions Cat8.1 U/FTP 0.5ft Slim Network Patch Cable. Designed specifically for Top of Rack (ToR) and Middle of Row (MoR) installations in data centers, this cable delivers exceptional speed and reliability. Supporting data rates up to 40 Gbps and frequencies up to 2 GHz, it's built for future-proof networking.Despite its powerful performance, this stranded copper Cat8.1 cable features a significantly slimmer diameter than standard options. The reduced size allows for better cable management in high-density environments, improves airflow in network cabinets, and increases flexibilitymaking it perfect for tight spaces and around corners.Ideal for ultra-high-performance applications like 25GBase-T and 40GBase-T, this cable also supports advanced PoE standards, including IEEE802.3bt, PoE++, 4PPoE, and Ultra PoE. Its U/FTP construction includes an overall aluminum braid that helps prevent interference and minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT), even in parallel runs.Unlike cables made with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) or copper-clad steel (CCS), this cable is crafted with 100% pure bare copper for optimal conductivity and reliability. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, ensuring long-term performance in any environment.The snag-free boot design and integrated strain relief provide added protection and make it easy to connect or disconnect the latch without damagemaking this cable an excellent choice for data centers, server rooms, and other high-density networking setups.
