InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, white, 5m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free white 5m is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-frequency data transmission in modern networks. It supports Cat.8.1 performance up to 2000 MHz and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic fumes in the event of fire, while the 5 m length provides flexibility for connecting equipment in server rooms, data centers and professional network installations.

Advantages

This S/FTP (PiMf) Cat.8.1 cable delivers high bandwidth capability up to 2000 MHz and robust shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The PiMf (pairs in metal foil) construction combined with an overall braid provides stable signal integrity for short-range, very high-speed links. RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard copper Ethernet ports, and the halogen-free outer sheath improves safety in enclosed spaces by minimizing corrosive and toxic smoke during combustion.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Backbone links and short-range infrastructure in enterprise networks
• High-performance workstations and network appliances requiring Cat.8.1
• Environments where reduced smoke and corrosive gases are required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Screening: S/FTP (pairs in metal foil with overall braid)
• Frequency rating: up to 2000 MHz
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of the source device (for example a server, switch or network appliance) and the other RJ-45 plug to the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends, kinks or compressing the cable under heavy equipment; maintain gentle bend radii and separate the cable from strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible. Confirm link speed and duplex settings on connected devices if required.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP patch cable for short, high-bandwidth runs up to several meters inside racks or between adjacent racks. Keep runs within recommended length limits for copper Cat.8.1 to ensure full performance, and route cables to minimize stress on connectors. For installations with fire-safety requirements, the halogen-free jacket provides an advantage in enclosed spaces.
