InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, grey, 0.3m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free grey 0.3m is a short, high-performance network cable designed for demanding high-speed Ethernet links. Constructed with pair individually shielded foils and an overall braided shield, the S/FTP (PiMf) topology and Cat.8.1 specification provide a transmission bandwidth up to 2000 MHz. The compact 0.3 m length and RJ-45 connectors on both ends make this cable suitable for tight connections in racks, patch panels and between adjacent devices where minimal slack and maximum signal integrity are required.

Advantages

The cable offers superior crosstalk protection and reduced electromagnetic interference thanks to pair-integrated metalized foil shielding and an outer braided shield. Halogen-free materials improve safety in enclosed environments by reducing toxic and corrosive gas emissions in case of fire. The short 0.3 m form factor minimizes cable clutter and loss, while RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports without adapters.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections in data centers and server racks
• Patch panels and switch-to-switch links in comms cabinets
• High-frequency test setups and laboratory environments
• Home network segments where ultra-high bandwidth is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1 (S/FTP PiMf)
• Bandwidth: up to 2000 MHz
• Length: 0.3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: pair individually shielded with overall braided shield
• Material: halogen-free jacket
• Colour: grey

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the source device and the other connector into the destination port, ensuring firm seating in both Ethernet sockets. Use the 0.3 m cable to create a direct short link between adjacent ports on switches, routers or patch panels. Avoid excessive bending around sharp edges and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. For installation in dense racks, route the cable so it does not pinch the jacket and allows for easy access to adjacent ports.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP cable for short, high-frequency connections only; do not substitute it for longer trunk cabling. Maintain bend radii according to manufacturer guidance, keep connectors clean, and use in environments compatible with halogen-free materials. Verify link configuration and transceiver compatibility when deploying at 25G/40G/100G speeds where applicable.
