InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free white 0.25m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free white 0.25m is a short, high-frequency network patch lead engineered for reliable short-range Ethernet connections. Constructed to Cat.8.1 specification with S/FTP shielding and pair-isolated metal foil (PiMf), this 0.25 m cable supports data transmission up to 2000 MHz and uses gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for consistent contact and reduced corrosion. The halogen-free jacket improves safety in confined spaces by minimizing harmful emissions in the event of fire, and the white finish blends unobtrusively into many installation environments.

Advantages

This Cat.8.1 S/FTP PiMf patch cable delivers high bandwidth and strong electromagnetic interference protection due to its screened foil shielding and individually shielded pairs, which helps maintain signal integrity in dense cabling environments. The short 0.25 m length reduces unwanted cable slack and crosstalk in patch panels and switch-to-device connections. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure low contact resistance and reliable mating cycles, while the halogen-free outer jacket enhances safety where reduced toxic gas emission is required.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, patch panels and servers within racks
• Short links between network equipment in data centres and server rooms
• High-speed Ethernet applications requiring up to 2000 MHz bandwidth
• Installations where halogen-free materials are preferred for safety

How to use

For short patching runs, insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on network switches, patch panels or devices until the latch clicks. Avoid excessive bending or pulling near the connector ends to maintain shielding integrity and connector performance. Use the 0.25 m length to create tidy links within racks or between closely spaced equipment; verify link status on connected devices to confirm successful negotiation and throughput. If routing through cable management, ensure bend radius recommendations for high-performance Ethernet remain respected to prevent signal degradation.

Usage recommendations

Use this short Cat.8.1 S/FTP patch cable for high-frequency, short-distance connections in data centres and server racks. Keep the cable free from tight bends, secure connectors in ports without excessive force, and choose halogen-free cabling when reduced toxic emissions are required by safety regulations or site policy.
