InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, red, 0.25m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free red 0.25m is a short, high-performance RJ-45 patch cable designed for use in modern network installations requiring Cat.8.1 specifications. Constructed with S/FTP shielding and pair-in-metal-foil (PiMf) design, the cable supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz to maintain signal integrity in dense or high-speed environments. The halogen-free jacket reduces hazardous emissions in the event of fire, and the bright red color provides clear visual identification in patch panels and cable runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP screening with PiMf construction minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between pairs, enabling stable, high-bandwidth data transmission. Short length (0.25 m) is suitable for tight rack or patch panel connections where excess cable must be avoided. The halogen-free outer jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces by producing less toxic smoke and corrosive gases if exposed to heat. Standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends provide broad compatibility with network switches, routers, servers, and other Ethernet-capable devices.

Suitable for

• Short interconnects between switches, patch panels and servers in data centers
• High-speed Ethernet connections in office racks and telecommunication cabinets
• Situations requiring clear cable identification and color-coded cabling
• Environments where halogen-free materials are desired for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (screened foiled twisted pair) with PiMf
• Frequency range: up to 2000 MHz
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on the devices to be connected, ensuring a secure click for proper contact. Use this 0.25 m patch cable for direct short connections inside racks or between adjacent patch panels to avoid signal degradation caused by unnecessary cable loops. Verify link status on connected devices after installation and confirm that cable routing does not introduce sharp bends or excessive strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and keep the cable run free from strong electromagnetic sources. Use the red color for quick identification of critical or high-speed links in the rack. When installing in fire-sensitive or enclosed spaces, the halogen-free jacket supports safer operation compared with standard PVC jackets.
