InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, white, 0.5m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free white 0.5m is a short, high-performance network patch cord built to Cat.8.1 standards. It uses S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) with pair-isolated metal foil (PiMf) shielding and supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz. Both ends terminate in standard RJ-45 connectors and the cable is halogen-free, which reduces toxic gas emissions in case of fire. The compact 0.5 m length is suitable for connections between closely located equipment in racks, patch panels and switches where minimal signal loss and strong EMI protection are required.

Advantages

The cable provides robust electromagnetic interference protection thanks to S/FTP PiMf shielding, which helps maintain signal integrity at very high frequencies. Compliance with Cat.8.1 performance allows for reliable high-speed data transmission in data centre and enterprise environments. The halogen-free jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces by lowering harmful emissions under thermal stress. The white outer jacket and short 0.5 m length offer a neat appearance and convenient routing for dense installations.

Suitable for

• Short connections between patch panels and switches in server racks
• High-speed links in data centres and telecommunications rooms
• Connections where strong shielding is required to minimise EMI

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMf) — overall shield with individually foiled pairs
• Frequency support: up to 2000 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Colour: white

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, patch panel or network device and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the opposite device. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks near the connector ends; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for structured cabling to preserve performance at high frequencies. For best results in high-density racks, use the 0.5 m length to reduce cable slack and improve airflow.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP PiMf patch cable for short, shielded links where maximal frequency support and reduced electromagnetic interference are required. Do not exceed the mechanical or environmental limits of connected equipment, and route the cable away from strong power sources to minimise residual interference.
