InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, grey, 10m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP (PiMf) Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free grey 10m is a high-performance Ethernet patch cable engineered for ultra-fast data transmission in structured networks. With a 2000 MHz bandwidth and S/FTP (PiMf) shielding, this 10-meter cable minimizes crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The halogen-free jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable contact and low contact resistance for stable network connections.

Advantages

This Cat.8.1 patch cable delivers very high bandwidth suitable for modern data centers and high-density network installations. The S/FTP PiMf shielding combines an overall braid with individual foil shields for each pair, offering enhanced protection against near-end crosstalk and external noise. The halogen-free outer sheath supports safer use in confined spaces and improves environmental compatibility. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs ensure corrosion resistance and consistent conductivity over repeated mating cycles.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Server-to-switch connections in data centers and server rooms
• High-speed backbone links within structured cabling
• High-density network racks and patch panels
• Applications requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and maximum signal integrity

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (Overall braid + foil per pair, PiMf)
• Bandwidth: 2000 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold plating
• Cable length: 10 m
• Jacket material: Halogen-free
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect the gold-plated RJ-45 plugs to the corresponding RJ-45 ports on network switches, routers or servers. Ensure connectors click securely into place to maintain correct pin alignment and stable contact. Route the cable in cable management troughs or along rack sides to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain bend radius recommendations from network equipment manufacturers to preserve signal performance. For best results, avoid running the cable in parallel with power lines or strong electromagnetic sources.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP patch cable for short, high-bandwidth links (up to the intended structured-cabling distances) inside racks and between adjacent network equipment. Inspect connectors periodically for dust or damage and replace if deformation is observed. When installing in enclosed spaces, take advantage of the halogen-free jacket for improved fire-safety considerations.
