InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, white, 3m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP Cat.8.1 2000MHz 3m is a high-performance network patch cable designed for demanding Ethernet environments. It supports Cat.8.1 performance up to 2000 MHz and comes with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable is halogen-free and uses S/FTP (shielded foil with overall braid) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over its 3 m length. Its white jacket and standard RJ-45 terminations make it suitable for structured cabling, switches, routers and other network devices in home and office installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving stability for high-speed transmissions. The Cat.8.1 specification and 2000 MHz rating ensure the cable supports higher bandwidths and lower signal degradation compared with lower-category patch cords. Halogen-free materials reduce harmful gas emissions in case of fire, increasing safety in enclosed spaces. The 3 m length offers flexibility for connecting nearby equipment while keeping cable runs tidy.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links between switches, patch panels and active network devices
• Data centres and server rooms with short to medium cable runs
• Office and home networks requiring shielded cables to reduce interference
• Applications needing halogen-free cabling for safety-compliant installations

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/FTP (foiled individual pairs with overall braid)
• Category: Cat.8.1
• Frequency rating: up to 2000 MHz
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Colour: white

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or NIC) and the other to the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure link. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, heavy compression and proximity to high-power electrical cables to preserve shielding effectiveness. For best performance, use within the specified 3 m length and avoid splicing or extending the cable with lower-category products.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in shielded environments, terminate both ends into shielded ports and maintain proper grounding of the cabling system. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the jacket or shielding is compromised.
