InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, grey, 0.25m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free grey 0.25m is a short, high-bandwidth Ethernet patch cable designed for modern network environments. It uses S/FTP (shielded with foil around individual pairs and an overall shield) construction compliant with Cat.8.1 performance and supports a bandwidth up to 2000 MHz. The cable is halogen-free and finished in a neutral grey jacket, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends for compatibility with standard Ethernet ports.

Advantages

The cable provides high signal integrity through its S/FTP PiMf shielding, which reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense or electrically noisy installations. With Cat.8.1 performance and 2000 MHz bandwidth it supports high-speed data transfer for short-reach applications. The halogen-free jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces by reducing toxic gas emissions in case of fire, and the compact 0.25 m length minimizes excess cable clutter in rack and patch panel arrangements.

Suitable for

• Short connections between patch panels and switches or servers
• High-speed point-to-point links in data centers and server rooms
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Installations where halogen-free materials are preferred for safety

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMf) — foil around each pair and overall shield
• Bandwidth: up to 2000 MHz
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Outer jacket: halogen-free
• Colour: grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router or server) and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the patch panel or target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab engages. Due to its short 0.25 m length, use this cable for direct, adjacent connections where minimal cable slack is required. Avoid sharp bends and maintain gentle routing to preserve shielding and conductor integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP patch cable for short-reach, high-speed links in controlled environments such as data centers or server rooms. Keep the cable away from strong electrical noise sources where possible, and avoid excessive bending or tension. Verify compatibility of connected devices with RJ-45 Cat.8 cabling standards when planning high-throughput deployments.
