InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz black, 15m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz black 15m is a shielded network patch cable designed for demanding wired Ethernet connections. Built to Cat.8.1 specification with S/FTP (shielded overall and individually foil-shielded pairs) and Pair-in-Metal-Foil (PiMF) construction, this 15 metre cable supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz and is terminated with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. The halogen-free jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire and the black outer sheath provides a neutral appearance suitable for professional installations.

Advantages

The combination of S/FTP shielding and PiMF pair protection minimises crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, helping to maintain signal integrity at high frequencies. A 15 m length covers medium-distance runs without intermediate patch panels, and RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard network equipment. The halogen-free jacket offers improved environmental and safety characteristics compared with halogen-containing materials.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centres and server racks requiring Cat.8.1 performance
• Backbone and aggregation links within LANs
• Workstations, switches and network appliances needing shielded connections
• Professional AV installations where high-frequency transmission is needed

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network interface of your device and the other to a compatible switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated and locking tabs engage to prevent accidental disconnection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling or tight cable ties that could damage the internal pair structure or shielding. For optimal performance, keep this shielded cable separated from large power cables and strong EMI sources where possible.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP PiMF cable for short to medium-length high-speed links in controlled installation environments. Verify device compatibility with RJ-45 Cat.8.1 cabling and follow standard wiring practices for shielded cables, including proper grounding of equipment and patch panels to maintain effective shielding.
