The snagless clip protection prevents the breaking or tearing of the locking clip on the connector (plug protection). This allows the cables to be stored and handled without getting tangled in the clips. Cat. 8.1 cables feature S/FTP shielding (braid as overall shield and foil shield for the individual pairs). With operating frequencies of up to 2000 MHz, they are equipped for the Ethernet standards 25GBase-T and 40GBase-T. They have been manufactured and tested according to the guidelines of the ISO/IEC 11801 specification.
