InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, red, 15m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free red 15m is a high-performance network patch lead designed for demanding Ethernet applications. Built to Cat.8.1 specifications with S/FTP (screened foiled twisted pairs and overall screen), this 15 metre red cable supports data transmission up to 2000 MHz and terminates with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The halogen-free jacket reduces smoke and corrosive gas emission in case of fire, making the cable suitable for installations where material safety is a consideration.

Advantages

The cable's S/FTP PiMf construction provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, preserving signal integrity over short runs typical for server rooms and high-density racks. Cat.8.1 performance and 2000 MHz bandwidth enable high-speed connections for modern network equipment while the RJ-45 termination maintains compatibility with standard Ethernet ports. The halogen-free outer sheath enhances safety in enclosed spaces, and the vivid red colour improves cable identification in structured cabling.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Patch panels and rack-mounted equipment in network cabinets
• Short-run backbone links requiring Cat.8.1 performance
• Environments where halogen-free materials are preferred for safety

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually foiled twisted pairs with overall screen)
• Frequency range: up to 2000 MHz
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 15 m
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Colour: red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or patch panel and the other RJ-45 plug to the device requiring network access or to a corresponding port on another network component. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain recommended bend radius for shielded cables and avoid running parallel to strong power sources to reduce interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP cable for short link lengths typical in racks and patching areas (15 m is suitable for inter-rack or equipment-to-panel connections). Verify that connected equipment supports the targeted data rates and use appropriate grounding for shielded installations. Inspect connectors and cable sheath periodically for damage and replace the cable if shielding is compromised.
