The Logilink CAT.8.1 PrimeLine Patch Cable is the ultimate solution, eliminating the bottleneck in your Network – for a stable, lightning-fast connection you can always rely on. Get the performance your devices deserve now and be ready for the future of the internet.


This high-end Ethernet Cable is specified according to CAT 8.1 standard and designed for data rates up to 40 Gbit/s with a bandwidth of 2000 MHz. The construction with pure copper conductors (CU), a double S/FTP shielding (PiMF), and the halogen-free LSZH jacket guarantees maximum signal quality, superior interference immunity, and the highest safety standards. The 50µ gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure a lossless and durable connection.


Highlights

  • Maximum Future-Proofing: Transmits data at up to 40 Gbit/s and 2000 MHz – ready for the next generation of Network hardware.
  • Superior Interference Immunity: The double S/FTP shielding with PiMF effectively protects data transmission from internal crosstalk and external interference.
  • Highest Material Quality: Inner conductors made of 100% bare copper wire (CU) for best conductivity and signal integrity.
  • Enhanced Fire Safety: The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket produces minimal smoke and releases no toxic gases in case of fire.
  • Full Backward Compatibility: Easily usable in any existing Gigabit Network thanks to the standardized RJ45 connector.
  • PoE-capable: Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+/PoE++) for powering devices such as IP Cameras or WiFi Access Points.

Your Network in the Fast Lane: 40 Gbit/s for Today and Tomorrow

With the Logilink CAT.8.1 Patch Cable, you invest directly in the future of your Network. While current home Networks often reach their limits at 1 or 2.5 Gbit/s, this cable offers you an almost incredible bandwidth of up to 40 Gbit/s. This means: Even if you switch to faster fiber optic connections, Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Switch, or a professional NAS system in the coming years, this cable will never be the bottleneck. It is the future-proof LAN Cable for all who want to make no compromises.


Maximum Shielding Against Invisible Interferences

Modern homes and offices are teeming with electromagnetic interference sources – power lines, power supplies, mobile phones. This is precisely where the elaborate double S/FTP shielding demonstrates its strength. Each individual wire pair is surrounded by a metal foil (PiMF) to prevent crosstalk. An additional overall braided shield protects the entire cable from external influences. The result is extremely stable and error-free signal transmission, which is essential for critical applications such as online gaming, 8K streaming, or connecting an Ethernet Switch.


Quality You Can Feel and See: Copper Instead of Compromises

The crucial difference lies in the details. Unlike cheaper CCA cables (copper-clad aluminum), Logilink's PrimeLine series uses inner conductors made of 100% pure copper wire (CU). This not only ensures significantly better conductivity and lower signal loss but also higher mechanical resilience. This is complemented by 50µ gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 connectors, which prevent corrosion and ensure a permanently reliable connection. The robust yet flexible LSZH jacket completes the high-quality overall package.


Universally Applicable: From Gaming PC to Data Center

Although this cable was designed for the highest performance requirements, its full backward compatibility makes it a true all-rounder. You can easily use it to connect your PlayStation 5, gaming PC, smart TV, or NAS to your Router. It is perfect for structured Cabling in home offices or small business Networks. This cable is also the first choice for demanding applications such as PoE (Power over Ethernet) for powering IP Cameras or for HDBaseT transmissions.


Strengths & Notes at a Glance

  • Pro: Maximum future-proofing with 40 Gbit/s and 2000 MHz.
  • Pro: Excellent interference immunity due to double S/FTP (PiMF) shielding.
  • Pro: High material & safety quality (pure copper, LSZH jacket).
  • Pro: Full backward compatibility with all common Ethernet standards.
  • Note: The full 40 Gbit/s speed is limited to short distances (up to approx. 30m).
  • Note: Overdimensioned for most current home Networks (up to 10 Gbit/s).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is a CAT 8.1 noticeably faster than CAT 7?

For most home users: No. The maximum speed of your is determined by the slowest link – usually the internet connection, the , or the / network card in the PC. A CAT 8.1 can only achieve its 40 Gbit/s if all connected components also support this standard, which is currently almost exclusively the case in data centers.


Can I use this for my PlayStation 5 or my gaming PC?

Yes, absolutely. The is fully backward compatible and works perfectly. It ensures an extremely stable and interference-free connection. However, you will not notice a speed advantage over a good CAT 6A , as the connections of these devices are limited to 1 Gbit/s or 2.5 Gbit/s.


Why is this thicker and stiffer than my old ?

The stiffness results from the elaborate internal structure. The thicker copper cores, the individual foil shielding around each pair of wires (PiMF), and the additional braided shield (S/FTP) require more space and make the more robust, but also less flexible than unshielded or simpler shielded .


What does the abbreviation "LSZH" mean?

LSZH stands for "Low Smoke Zero Halogen". It describes the property of the jacket to produce very little smoke in case of fire and to release no toxic, corrosive halogen gases. This is an important safety feature for any setup.


Does a CAT 8.1 make sense for a 1 Gbit/s internet connection?

From a pure performance perspective, it is not necessary. A CAT 5e would already be sufficient here. However, purchasing a CAT 8.1 can be a sensible investment in the future and for maximizing signal stability and interference immunity, especially on short, critical connection routes.


What is the difference between CAT 8.1 and CAT 8.2?

The main difference lies in the connector type. CAT 8.1 uses the widely adopted, backward-compatible RJ45 connector. CAT 8.2 uses other connector systems (e.g., GG45, TERA) that are not compatible with common hardware and are primarily used in professional data center environments.
