InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz black, 10m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz black 10m is a 10-metre high-performance network cable engineered for very high data throughput. Designed to support data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s, this Cat.8.1 cable uses S/FTP (shielded Foiled Twisted Pair with overall braid) and Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF) construction to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Both ends are terminated with RJ-45 connectors plated in gold to ensure stable contact and reliable signal transmission. The cable jacket is halogen-free for improved safety in enclosed environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF design provides enhanced protection against near-end crosstalk and external noise sources, enabling consistent high-speed performance up to frequencies of 2000 MHz. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs improve conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability. The halogen-free outer jacket reduces the risk of harmful fumes in case of fire and meets safety-oriented installation requirements. At 10 m length and neutral black colour, the cable is suitable for structured cabling in data centres, server rooms and professional network installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Backbone links in enterprise Ethernet networks
• Patch panels and rack-mounted network equipment
• Environments requiring low-emission, halogen-free cabling

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (switch, router or network interface) and the other end to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Avoid tight bends or kinks in the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius where possible. For optimal performance, route the cable away from strong EMI sources such as large motors or unshielded power lines and follow structured cabling best practices when installing in racks or conduits.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP PiMF cable for short, high-bandwidth links within network racks or between adjacent racks. When installing in permanent pathways, verify pathway fill and ventilation, and label both ends for easier maintenance. Replace cables that show visible damage to the jacket or connectors to preserve shielding performance and signal integrity.
