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

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free grey 1.5m is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-frequency, high-throughput network links. It complies with Cat.8.1 specification and supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz. The cable is halogen-free and finished in grey, with RJ-45 to RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. With a 1.5 m length, it is intended for short runs between switches, servers and network devices where cable shielding and bandwidth are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding with individually screened pairs and an overall braid reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, supporting stable high-speed data transmission. Compliance with Cat.8.1 and 2000 MHz frequency capability enables use in demanding environments that require low latency and high bandwidth. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic gas emissions in case of fire, improving safety in enclosed or public spaces. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors provide durable contact surfaces and consistent signal transfer.

Suitable for

• Short high-speed connections between switches, patch panels and servers
• Data center and server room patching where Cat.8.1 performance is needed
• Environments requiring screened cabling to minimise EMI and crosstalk
• Installations preferring halogen-free materials for safety considerations

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device port (switch, router, server NIC) and the other end to the corresponding port on the paired device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated and clip latches engage to maintain a secure connection. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and compression of the cable; maintain gentle routing and secure the cable with suitable cable management to prevent strain on the connectors. Use within its intended 1.5 m length for short link applications to preserve Category 8.1 performance characteristics.

Recommendations

Locate the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible, and avoid running parallel to power lines for extended distances. Inspect connectors before installation for contamination and verify link performance with appropriate testing tools if used in mission-critical or certified network installations.
