InLine patchkabel, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogenfri, rød, 2m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free red 2m is a high-performance network cable intended for short-range, high-bandwidth links. Designed to support frequencies up to 2000 MHz, this Cat 8.1 cable uses Pair in Metal Foil (PiMf) and S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. It comes with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a 2 meter length, offering a compact, halogen-free solution for data centers, server rooms, and advanced Ethernet installations where high throughput and signal integrity matter.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMf construction provides enhanced protection against near-end and far-end crosstalk and external noise, which helps maintain stable high-speed data transmission. The cable supports Cat 8.1 performance up to 2000 MHz, enabling 25G and 40G Ethernet links in suitable environments using RJ-45 termination. Being halogen-free, the cable emits fewer toxic gases in case of fire, improving safety in enclosed installations. The red jacket improves visibility for cable management and simplifies identification within dense cabling setups.

Suitable for

• Short-distance high-speed links between switches, patch panels and servers
• Data center top-of-rack and equipment interconnects
• Server rooms and telecommunications cabinets requiring reduced interference
• Environments where halogen-free cabling is required for safety standards

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs / PiMf)
• Frequency rating: up to 2000 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 2 m
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Color: red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (switch, server or patch panel) and the other RJ-45 end to the corresponding port on the receiving device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a reliable connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, kinks or mechanical stress; maintain recommended bend radius for high-frequency cables to preserve signal performance. Use proper cable management (cable ties, trays, or labeled patch panels) to keep runs organized and to facilitate maintenance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance at 25G or 40G Ethernet, use the cable for short patch runs within racks or between adjacent racks; avoid long horizontal runs beyond the recommended distance for Cat.8.1. Keep the cable away from large sources of electromagnetic interference and follow local installation standards for grounding and shielding to ensure consistent signal quality.
