InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz blue, 0.25m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz blue 0.25m is a short, high-frequency network patch cable designed for connections that require minimal signal loss and strong shielding. Constructed with S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) PiMF configuration and rated for Cat.8.1 performance up to 2000 MHz, this 0.25 m cable provides a compact solution for linking network devices with RJ-45 ports in high-speed Ethernet environments. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic emissions in case of fire and the blue outer colour helps with visual identification in cable management.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF construction offers improved protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable transmission at very high frequencies. Short length and shielded design minimise return loss and near-end crosstalk for patching within racks or between closely placed devices. The halogen-free outer sheath enhances safety in enclosed spaces and the RJ-45 connectors on both ends provide broad compatibility with standard network equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-distance patching in server racks and network cabinets
• High-speed Ethernet links and data centre interconnects
• Connections between switches, routers and patch panels with RJ-45 ports
• Environments where low emissions and halogen-free materials are required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) with Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF)
• Frequency rating: up to 2000 MHz
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Colour: blue

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the source device and the other RJ-45 connector to the destination device, ensuring secure insertion until the latch clicks. Use the 0.25 m cable for short links where minimal cable slack is required, such as inside racks or between adjacent patch panel ports. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors; maintain gentle curves to preserve shielding integrity and transmission performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, install the cable in environments consistent with Cat.8.1 deployment: keep cable runs short, maintain proper grounding of connected equipment and avoid routing parallel to large power cables. Inspect connectors for secure seating and replace the cable if the jacket or connector latch is damaged.
