InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz blue, 5m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz blue 5m is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-frequency data transmission up to 2000 MHz. It uses S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair with pair-in-metallic-foil) topology and PiMF construction to minimize crosstalk and external interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors and the cable is halogen-free, reducing toxic gas emissions in case of fire and making it suitable for installation in sensitive environments. The blue outer jacket provides clear visual identification in cabling installations.

Advantages

This Cat.8.1 S/FTP PiMF cable supports very high bandwidths and offers improved shielding compared with unshielded alternatives, which helps maintain signal integrity in dense cabling or electromagnetic noise environments. The halogen-free jacket enhances safety in confined or public spaces. Built with RJ-45 terminations on both ends and a 5 m length, it provides plug-and-play connectivity for short to medium link runs without additional adapters. The cable construction reduces alien crosstalk and ensures reliable performance for modern networking equipment.

Suitable for

• High-speed local area network links in data centers and server rooms
• Connections between switches, patch panels and network devices over short runs
• Environments requiring low-emission cabling such as public buildings or transport hubs
• Installations where strong shielding is needed to protect against electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1 (S/FTP PiMF)
• Maximum frequency: up to 2000 MHz
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 5 m
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Colour: blue

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the network ports of the devices to be linked until the latch clicks into place, ensuring correct orientation. Use this 5 m patch cable for direct device-to-device connections such as switch-to-switch, switch-to-server or patch panel connections in rack environments. Avoid tight bends that exceed the cable's minimum bend radius and do not place heavy objects on the cable to prevent damage to internal shielding. For best performance keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference when routing.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP PiMF cable for short structured cabling runs and in shielded installations. Verify that connected equipment and patch panels support the required bandwidths and proper grounding/earthing for shielded cabling to ensure full shielding benefits.
