The Telegärtner patch cable of Category 8.1 offers a high-performance network connection for demanding applications in modern data centers and high-speed networks. With a length of 3 meters and a blue, halogen-free (LSZH) cable jacket, it is ideal for use in enclosed spaces where high data transfer rates and fire safety are required. The cable supports 25/40 Gigabit Ethernet according to IEEE 802.3bq and is thus suitable for 40 GBASE-T applications, making it a powerful solution for future-oriented network infrastructures. The S/FTP cabling (Shielded Twisted-Pair) ensures optimal shielding against electromagnetic interference and provides stable, disturbance-free data transmission. Additionally, support for PoE+ (Power over Ethernet+) according to IEEE 802.3at enables power delivery over the network cable, allowing the installation of PoE-compatible devices such as IP cameras or access points without additional power supplies.

The connectors are made of zinc die-cast, nickel-plated, with a contact surface of gold over nickel, ensuring high mechanical robustness and reliable electrical conductivity. The insertion force is 30 N, and the connector lifespan is 750 mating cycles, indicating long service life and high reliability. The cable has a diameter of 5.8 mm and is designed for an ambient temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, enabling broad applicability in various indoor environments. The protection class IP2X protects against solid foreign objects, while IPX0 provides no protection against water—thus, the cable is not suitable for outdoor use.
