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

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free red 1.5m is a high-performance network patch cable designed for demanding Ethernet and data center connections. Constructed with paired-foil and overall shielding (S/FTP) in a pair-in-metal-foil (PiMf) arrangement, this Cat.8.1 cable supports frequency transmission up to 2000 MHz and is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Its halogen-free jacket reduces toxic gas and corrosive residues in case of fire. At 1.5 meters in length and finished in red, the cable is suitable for short runs, patch panels, and visible routing where color-coding is beneficial.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMf design provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, enabling stable high-speed data transfer. Support for up to 2000 MHz frequency ensures compatibility with high-bandwidth applications and future network upgrades. The halogen-free outer jacket enhances safety in enclosed or public spaces by minimizing harmful emissions during combustion. Compact 1.5 m length and standardized RJ-45 terminations allow easy installation in patch panels, switches, and network equipment while the red color aids visual identification and cable management.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches, servers and patch panels in data centers
• High-speed Ethernet links and applications requiring broad frequency support
• Environments where halogen-free materials are required for safety compliance
• Visible cable runs or racks where color-coded organization is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (pair foil with overall braid) in PiMf configuration
• Frequency range: up to 2000 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 1.5 m

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a switch, router or patch panel and the other connector into the corresponding device port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to establish a secure physical connection. Route the cable along designated cable management paths to avoid bend radii that could stress the internal pairs; maintain gentle curves and avoid tight bends at connection points. For optimal performance, keep the patch cable separate from power cabling and strong EMI sources where possible.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP patch cable for short-length, high-bandwidth links in data centers and network closets. Verify that connected devices and network equipment support the targeted data rates and that terminations are compatible with RJ-45 connectors. Replace damaged or excessively kinked cables to preserve shielding integrity and transmission quality.
