InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, grey, 0.5m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free grey 0.5m is a short, high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for use in modern structured cabling systems. It supports Category 8.1 performance with shielding on each pair and an overall braid (S/FTP), enabling transmission at frequencies up to 2000 MHz. The compact 0.5 m length and RJ-45 connectors on both ends make this cable suitable for connecting network equipment in racks, patch panels and high-density installations where minimal cable length is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides strong protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with dense cabling or nearby electrical equipment. Cat.8.1 compliance ensures support for very high data rates and low-latency links, suitable for backbone, switch-to-switch or server connections over short distances. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas emission in case of fire, increasing safety in enclosed spaces. The neutral grey color offers unobtrusive integration into most server rooms and office environments.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and servers
• High-density rack and data centre cabling
• Environments requiring high shielding against EMI
• Installations where halogen-free materials are preferred for safety

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1 (PiMf, S/FTP shielding)
• Frequency support: up to 2000 MHz
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Color: grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network equipment port and the other connector to the corresponding port on the patch panel, switch or server. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click and that the cable is routed without sharp bends to maintain performance. For best results in structured cabling, use this 0.5 m patch cable for short-distance links inside racks or between adjacent patch panel ports.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, high-speed links where Cat.8.1 performance and strong shielding are required. Avoid stretching the cable or bending it beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Install in compliance with local cabling standards and keep connectors free of dust for reliable connections.
