InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, green, 1.5m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz Halogen-free Green 1.5m is a shielded Ethernet patch lead designed for high-speed network connections. Built to Cat.8.1 specifications with S/FTP (shielded foil with overall braid) construction and PiMf pair-inside-metallic-foil structure, this 1.5 m cable supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends for straightforward integration with standard network equipment. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic fumes in the event of fire, and the bright green colour helps with clear cable identification in dense installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMf construction provides strong protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, enabling stable transmission at very high frequencies. Compatibility with Cat.8.1 performance requirements ensures low latency and high bandwidth for modern data centre or professional networking environments. The halogen-free outer sheath improves safety in enclosed spaces, while the 1.5 m length offers a practical balance between reach and tidy cable management. Standard RJ-45 terminations allow use with existing switches, patch panels and servers without special adapters.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centres and server rooms
• Backbone or horizontal runs requiring Cat.8.1 performance over short distances
• Environments where low electromagnetic interference and secure data transfer are required
• Installations needing halogen-free materials for enhanced fire safety

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network switch, patch panel or router port and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding device port such as a server, NAS or workstation. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it separated from power cables where possible to minimise interference. For best performance, use this patch cable for short, high-frequency runs consistent with Cat.8.1 deployment guidelines.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth links within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid kinking or tightly coiling the cable and maintain bend radii recommended for shielded Ethernet cables. Inspect connectors periodically for debris and ensure grounding practices are followed in shielded installations to maintain shielding effectiveness.
