InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, grey, 5m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free grey 5m is a high-performance Ethernet cable designed for demanding network environments. It supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz and uses S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair with overall braid) construction and Pair in Metal Foil (PiMf) to minimize crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. This 5 metre, halogen-free cable is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and is suitable for structured cabling, server rooms and high-speed data links where reliable signal integrity is required.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP PiMf design provides enhanced shielding for each twisted pair plus an overall braid, offering superior protection against near-end and far-end crosstalk and external EMI. A rated frequency of up to 2000 MHz enables support for higher data rates and future-proofing of network infrastructure. The halogen-free jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire and the grey outer sheath gives a neutral, professional appearance suitable for visible installations. RJ-45 terminations ensure broad compatibility with network equipment.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centers and server rack connections
• 10G/25G/40G Ethernet links in backbone and aggregation layers
• Shielded LAN installations in office and commercial buildings
• Environments requiring reduced fire toxicity (halogen-free)

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMf) — individually foiled pairs with overall braid
• Frequency rating: up to 2000 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 5 m

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network interface of a switch, router or server and the other end to the corresponding device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched to establish a secure electrical and mechanical connection. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends, kinking or placing the cable parallel and close to sources of strong electromagnetic noise. Route the cable through suitable cable management or tray systems when used in rack or structured cabling environments.

Recommendations

For maximum signal integrity, maintain bend radii recommended by the manufacturer, keep cable runs within standard length limits for the intended application, and use compatible shielded connectors and grounded patch panels to preserve the effectiveness of the S/FTP shielding.
