InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, red, 0.3m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free red 0.3m is a short high-performance Ethernet patch lead engineered for reliable, high-speed data transmission. It supports category 8.1 performance up to 2000 MHz and uses S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair with individual pair foil) construction to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Equipped with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and finished in a red halogen-free jacket, this 0.3 m cable is suitable for dense rack environments, switch interconnects and short-distance links where signal integrity and fire-safe materials are required.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP PiMf shielding provides enhanced protection against near-end and far-end crosstalk and improves resistance to external noise sources. Category 8.1 compliance and a 2000 MHz bandwidth make it appropriate for multi-gigabit and future-proofed connections over short distances. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic gas emission in case of fire, and the compact 0.3 m length minimises cable clutter in server cabinets and patch panels. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with existing network hardware.

Suitable for

• Short interconnects between switches, patch panels and servers in racks
• High-speed multi-gigabit links and low-latency connections
• Environments requiring reduced fire-hazard emissions (halogen-free materials)
• Structured cabling where colour-coding simplifies identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMf) — overall braid with individual foil around each twisted pair
• Bandwidth: up to 2000 MHz
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cable length: 0.3 m
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Colour: red

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on devices such as switches, patch panels or servers. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.3 m length for short point-to-point links inside rack-mounted equipment or between adjacent patch panel ports. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force to maintain transmission performance and prevent damage to the shielded construction.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP cable for short-range connections within racks or cabinets, keep bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum, and pair with shielded RJ-45 ports or properly grounded patch panels to preserve shielding effectiveness.
