InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz blue, 7.5m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz blue 7.5m is a high-performance network patch lead designed for reliable data transmission in demanding LAN and data-center environments. This 7.5 m cable uses Category 8.1 specification with S/FTP (shielded foil/foiled twisted pair with PiMF) construction and RJ-45 connectors on both ends to support frequencies up to 2000 MHz while minimizing crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The halogen-free jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire and the blue outer sheath provides clear visual identification in structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF design provides improved shielding for each twisted pair plus an overall shield, delivering enhanced immunity against near-end and far-end crosstalk and external noise sources. Rated to the Cat.8.1 standard and specified for operation up to 2000 MHz, the cable supports very high data rates required by modern network applications. The halogen-free outer jacket increases safety in confined spaces and public areas. Standard RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers, patch panels and network devices.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links in server rooms and data centers
• Short-run backbone connections and switch-to-switch links
• Environments requiring enhanced shielding against interference
• Installations where halogen-free cabling is preferred for safety

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded overall with foiled twisted pairs, PiMF)
• Maximum frequency: 2000 MHz
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Colour: blue

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or patch panel and the other RJ-45 plug to the device requiring a network connection. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click into place and avoid tight bends near the connector ends; keep cable routing clear of strong electrical noise sources to maintain optimal shielding performance. For structured installations, label both ends as required and secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best results in high-density racks and data-center environments, use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP cable for short channel links (such as switch-to-switch) and keep cable lengths within recommended run distances for Cat.8.1 deployments. Avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to unshielded power cables to preserve signal integrity.
