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

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.8.1 halogen free 2000MHz black 5m is a high-performance Ethernet patch lead engineered for demanding network environments. Designed to support data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and frequencies up to 2000 MHz, this 5-meter cable uses S/FTP (screened foil twisted pair with individual pair shielding) and PiMF conductor arrangement to minimize crosstalk and external interference. The halogen-free jacket reduces hazardous gas emissions in case of fire, and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide stable contact and corrosion resistance for long-term use.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF design delivers superior protection against electromagnetic interference and near-end crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity at high frequencies. Halogen-free materials enhance safety in enclosed or public spaces by limiting toxic fumes during combustion. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve conductivity and mechanical durability for repeated insertions. The 5 m length offers flexibility for structured cabling setups, patch panels and rack connections while maintaining high transmission performance.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centers and server rooms
• 10G/25G/40G Ethernet backbone links and switch-to-switch connections
• Structured cabling between racks, patch panels and active equipment
• Environments requiring reduced fire-hazard emissions (halogen-free requirement)
• Network installations where shielding is needed to avoid EMI/RFI disturbances

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1
• Cable type: S/FTP (overall braid with Foil on each pair) with PiMF conductor arrangement
• Frequency rating: up to 2000 MHz
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Length: 5 m

How to use

Connect the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to the corresponding RJ-45 ports on network devices such as switches, patch panels, routers or network interface cards. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable following standard cable management practices to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for high-frequency cabling. For optimal performance, keep the patch cable separated from power lines and strong sources of electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP PiMF patch cable for short interconnects within racks and between closely located network devices where high throughput and shielding are required. For longer backbone runs, evaluate permanent link cabling designs. Regularly inspect connectors for debris or damage and replace cables that show physical wear to preserve signal quality.
