Category 8.1 Connectivity Solution

LAN and Data Center approved

The Category 8 channel is based on R&M’s iF award-winning Cat. 6A jack design along with an all-new patch cord. High speed in an installer-friendly setup and a suitable patch cord for maximum performance – just like every R&M product.

Key features

2 in 1: Angled or straight

For limited space, the assembly block can be used for 90° angled assembly of conventional straight connection.

Wire Cutting Blade

Our innovative wire cutting blade makes sure every wire is cut successfully and avoids contact so the power of PoE applications takes no detour.

3-speed zones for LAN

A well-balanced chamber system and optimized HF performance allow your LAN to be designed in 3 zones: 24m/40GB/s, 50m/25GB/s, and 90m/10GB/s.

Easy assembly

Clear indication for T568A/T568B wiring diagram and a comfortable tool, which offers comfort by the closing off all 4 lids simultaneously and a press to mount back to front.

Certificate

R&M was the first manufacturer to have the cabling system certified for the most important applications. The independent German testing company GHMT confirmed in June 2021 that a Cat. 8.1 cabling system from R&M reliably transfers 25 Gigabit/s over 50 meters. The 30 meter channel for data transmission of 40 Gigabit/s as per Class I of ISO/IEC 11801 is also certified.

Applications

Applications such as End of Row or Top of Rack are common for Cat. 8.1. However, Cat. 8.1 is well suitable and thoughtful in modern, future-oriented office buildings as well. Convince yourself.

Overview

Our youngest member in a lineup of all available modules – 40GB marks the top edge of performance.

Speed Zones

Three zones depending on length for future proof installations of WLAN, 4k/8k UHD applications, and more to come.

24m Zone

Use case with one telecom room shows 30% of workspace and 75% of WAP are covered in 24m/40G range…

50m Zone

…and 95% of workspace and 100% of WAP are within the 50m/25G range. Only a few workspaces are left in the 10GB area.

 

Two Telecom Rooms

However, if two telecom rooms are available 58% of workspace and 100% of WAP are within the 24m/40G range whereas 100% of workspace is in the 50m/25G range.
