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

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free yellow 0.5m is a short, high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for modern high-speed network environments. Constructed with individually shielded pairs and an overall braided shield, this Cat.8.1 cable supports transmission frequencies up to 2000 MHz and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic fumes in case of fire, while the yellow outer sheath improves visibility and identification in dense cabling installations.

Advantages

This patch cable provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference thanks to its S/FTP (PiMf) shielding, enabling stable data transfer in environments with high electrical noise. The short 0.5 m length minimizes length-related signal attenuation and is suitable for direct connections between adjacent devices in racks or patch panels. The halogen-free jacket enhances safety and environmental compliance, and standardized RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Short links between switches, patch panels and servers in data centres
• High-speed connections for 25G/40G/100G-ready infrastructure where Cat.8.1 is required
• Environments with significant EMI where S/FTP shielding improves signal integrity
• Installations requiring clear cable identification or colour-coding

Key specifications

How to use

Use this InLine Cat.8.1 patch cable to connect network devices positioned close to each other, such as switches, patch panels and servers. Insert the RJ-45 plugs fully into the corresponding ports until the locking tab engages. For best performance, avoid sharp bends near the connector and prevent tension or crushing of the cable. Use cable management panels or Velcro straps to keep short runs neat and to avoid excessive stress at the terminations.

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, keep the cable run within the specified length and avoid routing alongside unshielded power lines. When used in high-density racks, maintain proper airflow and secure connectors to prevent accidental disconnection during maintenance.
