InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz blue, 0.5m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz blue 0.5m is a short, high-frequency network patch lead built for demanding data connections. Designed for use in modern network environments, this 0.5 m cable features S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) PiMF construction and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The halogen-free jacket reduces harmful emissions in case of fire and the cable supports transmission up to 2000 MHz, suitable for applications that require high bandwidth and reduced electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF design provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded alternatives. A 2000 MHz frequency rating enables reliable transmission for high-speed Ethernet standards and low-latency links over short distances. The halogen-free outer sheath improves safety in enclosed spaces by minimising toxic gas output under thermal stress. Compact 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter in patch panels and rack-mounted installations while RJ-45 connectors ensure broad compatibility with standard networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches, patch panels and servers in data cabinets
• High-speed Ethernet applications requiring minimized interference
• Environments where halogen-free cabling is preferred for safety or regulatory reasons
• Structured cabling in server rooms, telecom closets and LAN racks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP PiMF (shielded and foiled pairs, pairs in metal foil)
• Frequency rating: up to 2000 MHz
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router or server) and the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding port on the patch panel, switch or endpoint. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Use the 0.5 m length for tidy short connections in racks and avoid excessive bending close to the connector to maintain performance. For best results, route the cable separately from high-power mains or sources of strong electromagnetic interference whenever possible.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP cable in short-distance, high-bandwidth links within data centres or network racks. Avoid tight bends and kinking; observe the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius. Inspect RJ-45 connectors before installation to ensure contacts are clean and undamaged.
