InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, yellow, 0.25m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free yellow 0.25m is a short, high-performance Ethernet patch cable engineered for demanding network environments. Constructed to Cat.8.1 S/FTP (PiMf) specifications, the cable supports data transmission up to 2000 MHz and uses individually shielded pairs plus an overall shield to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The compact 0.25 m length and RJ-45 connectors on both ends make it suitable for patching within racks, connecting switches to patch panels, or linking devices in tight spaces. The halogen-free jacket enhances safety by reducing toxic gas emissions in case of fire, and the yellow sheath improves visibility for easy identification in cable bundles.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMf construction provides strong protection against pair-to-pair interference and external noise, enabling reliable high-frequency performance up to 2000 MHz. The short 0.25 m length minimises signal loss for close-range connections and reduces cable clutter in dense cabling setups. RJ-45 terminations ensure broad compatibility with network equipment that accepts standard Ethernet connectors. The halogen-free outer jacket contributes to safer installations in public or enclosed spaces, while the yellow colour facilitates quick visual identification of critical links.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in data centres and server rooms
• Connecting network devices in telecommunications cabinets and equipment racks
• Short-distance connections where high bandwidth and minimal interference are required
• Installations requiring halogen-free cabling for enhanced fire safety

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1, S/FTP (PiMf) shielding
• Frequency rating: up to 2000 MHz
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Jacket: halogen-free outer sheath

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.25 m patch cable for short link runs between adjacent ports on switches, routers, patch panels or network appliances. Ensure connector contacts and ports are clean before insertion. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress; allow gentle curvature consistent with standard cable bend radius recommendations to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP patch cable for short, high-bandwidth links in controlled environments such as data centres and equipment racks. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines to minimise potential interference. Store and deploy the cable in conditions within manufacturer-recommended temperature and humidity ranges and inspect terminations periodically for secure seating.
