InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, red, 7.5m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free red 7.5m is a high-performance Ethernet patch cord designed for short-run, high-bandwidth network links. It supports transmission frequencies up to 2000 MHz and uses S/FTP PiMf shielding with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable is halogen-free and comes in a visible red jacket with a length of 7.5 metres, suitable for data centre interconnects, server racks and structured cabling where Cat.8.1 performance is required.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP PiMf construction provides individual foil shielding around each pair plus an overall braid, which reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in dense installations. Support for frequencies up to 2000 MHz enables higher throughput and future-proofing for applications requiring low latency and high data rates. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic gas emissions in the event of fire, improving safety in enclosed or public spaces. The fixed RJ-45 terminations allow direct connection to standard network ports without adapters.

Suitable for

• High-speed links within data centres and server rooms
• Structured cabling in enterprise networks
• Connections between switches, patch panels and network equipment
• Environments where halogen-free materials are required

How to use

Route the patch cable between network ports, patch panels or equipment ensuring that bend radius recommendations for Cat.8 cabling are observed and that the cable is not subjected to sharp kinks or crushing. Plug the RJ-45 connectors firmly into the corresponding ports until the latch engages. For best performance, avoid running the cable in close parallel with high-voltage power lines and maintain proper cable management in racks and trays to minimise interference.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP patch cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections within racks and between adjacent racks. Verify that connected equipment and infrastructure support Cat.8.1 performance to achieve the expected bandwidth, and follow installation guidelines for bend radius and environmental conditions to maintain signal integrity.
