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

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz blue 15m is a high-performance network cable designed for demanding Ethernet installations. It features S/FTP (shielded foil with braided shield) construction and Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF) to minimize crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, enabling reliable data transmission up to 2000 MHz. The cable comes terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and is halogen-free for improved safety in environments where reduced smoke and toxic emissions are required.

Advantages

This Cat.8.1 cable offers enhanced shielding that reduces external interference and maintains signal integrity at high frequencies. The halogen-free jacket lowers the risk of harmful fumes in case of fire, making the cable suitable for installations with strict safety requirements. At 15 meters length and fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors, the cable provides flexible connectivity for rack-to-equipment or cross-room links while supporting high data rates and backward compatibility with lower-category systems.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet backbones and server room patching
• Data centers and telecom rooms requiring strong EMI protection
• Professional workstations and switch-to-switch connections within the 15 m range
• Installations where halogen-free materials are specified for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Frequency support: up to 2000 MHz
• Shielding: S/FTP with PiMF (individually shielded pairs with overall braid and foil)
• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Colour: blue

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network switch, router, or patch panel port and the other RJ-45 connector to the destination device such as a server, workstation, or network appliance. Ensure ports are compatible with Cat.8.1 or lower categories for backward compatibility. Avoid tight bends and mechanical stress near the connector ends; maintain the cable bend radius recommended by the equipment manufacturer to preserve performance at high frequencies. For permanent or structured cabling, use appropriate routing and strain relief methods.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within the specified 15 m length for patching applications, separate high-power electrical lines to reduce interference, and verify that connected hardware supports the intended data rates. Inspect RJ-45 terminations before installation and avoid kinking or crushing the cable during routing to maintain shielding effectiveness.
