S-Conn Cat 8.1 Patch Cable S/FTP double-shielded halogen-free 2000 MHz 0.50 m

S-Conn Cat 8.1 Patch Cable S/FTP double-shielded halogen-free 2000 MHz 0.50 m is a short-length high-performance network cable designed for demanding LAN and data center environments. The cable features S/FTP construction with individual pair foil and an overall braid shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity at very high frequencies up to 2000 MHz. Its halogen-free outer jacket provides reduced smoke and toxic gas emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for installations where safety standards require low-smoke, zero-halogen materials.

Advantages

The S/FTP double-shielded design ensures improved protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic disturbances, which helps preserve high data throughput and low error rates on short links. The 0.50 m length is practical for connecting equipment inside racks, between servers and switches, or for direct patching in high-density cabinets. The halogen-free jacket and robust shielding combine to offer both safety and reliable performance in professional networking setups.

Suitable for

• Short-distance interconnects in server racks and data centers
• Connections between switches and high-performance network devices
• High-frequency applications requiring up to 2000 MHz bandwidth
• Environments that require low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

When it may not be suitable

The 0.50 m length is intended for short patching and is not suitable for long runs between rooms or buildings. For typical structured cabling where longer horizontal or backbone distances are needed, longer cable lengths or permanently installed cabling rated for building infrastructure should be used. This patch cable is optimized for high-frequency, short-distance use rather than general-purpose long-distance installations.

Key specifications

• Category: Class I (Cat 8.1) performance
• Connector type: Shielded RJ45 terminations (S/FTP compatible)
• Shielding: S/FTP — foil around each pair plus overall braided shield
• Bandwidth: up to 2000 MHz
• Length: 0.50 m
• Jacket: halogen-free material
• Use case: designed for short high-speed links in racks and cabinets

How to use

Use the S-Conn Cat 8.1 0.50 m patch cable to connect network equipment that is physically close together, for example patching between a switch and a server within the same rack or cabinet. Ensure that RJ45 ports on both devices accept shielded terminated cables and that equipment grounding or chassis bonding practices are followed so the cable shielding can perform effectively. Route the cable without excessive bending and avoid tight kinks; the short length simplifies tidy management in dense rack environments.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required cable length — 0.50 m is designed for short interconnects only
• Verify that connected devices support shielded RJ45 connections and proper grounding
• Ensure Cat 8.1 / 2000 MHz performance is compatible with your equipment and use case
• Decide if a halogen-free jacket is required for your installation environment

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this S/FTP Cat 8.1 cable for point-to-point connections within racks and follow equipment grounding guidelines so shielding is effective; avoid running this short patch cable alongside large bundles of unshielded cabling that could introduce interference.
