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).
