Patch Cable S-Conn Cat 8.1 F/FTP Double Shielded Halogen-Free 2000 MHz 2.0 m, Yellow

S-Conn Cat 8.1 patch cable, 2.0 m in yellow, is a high-frequency Ethernet cable designed for environments that require strong shielding and signal integrity. The F/FTP double-shielded construction and halogen-free jacket support frequencies up to 2000 MHz, making this cable suitable for short-run, high-speed connections between servers, switches and patch panels where electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk must be minimised.

Advantages

The F/FTP double shield provides enhanced protection against external electromagnetic interference and reduces near-end and far-end crosstalk, while the halogen-free outer jacket lowers smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. With support up to 2000 MHz and Cat 8.1 performance, the cable enables reliable transmission for multi-gigabit and short-reach 25/40 Gbps applications when used within recommended channel lengths. The bright yellow jacket improves cable identification in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Data centre server and switch interconnects over short distances
• High-speed LAN backbone links and patching in comms cabinets
• Environments with elevated EMI where additional shielding is required
• Installations that require a halogen-free cable jacket for safety compliance

When it may not be suitable

This Cat 8.1 patch cable is intended for short-reach, high-frequency applications; it is not designed for long-distance backbone runs where fibre optic cabling is more appropriate. If your network requires flexible cabling for frequent handling and tight bends, verify that the cable’s diameter and jacket stiffness meet those handling needs.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 8.1
• Shielding: F/FTP (foil shield around the entire cable plus foil around each pair) — double shielded
• Frequency rating: up to 2000 MHz
• Length: 2.0 m
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Colour: yellow
• Typical use: short-reach, high-speed Ethernet connections (multi-gigabit / 25/40 Gbps channel scenarios)

How to use

Connect the patch cable between compatible RJ45 ports on switches, servers or patch panels following standard cabling practice. Ensure connectors and ports support Cat 8.1 or the intended multi-gigabit speed, and keep the cable within recommended channel lengths for the target application. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and proximity to strong sources of interference; secure with cable management accessories to maintain mechanical reliability and consistent performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that connected equipment supports the target data rates and Cat 8.1 performance.
• Ensure 2.0 m length and yellow colour fit the intended rack or cabinet layout and identification scheme.
• Check whether a halogen-free jacket is required for site safety standards.
• Consider whether a more flexible cable or different shielding type is needed for frequent movement or very tight bend radii.

Usage recommendations

Use this S-Conn Cat 8.1 patch cable for short, high-speed interconnects in data centres and network closets where reduced EMI and clear cable identification are priorities. Maintain gentle bend radii, avoid physical strain on connectors, and pair with Cat 8.1-compliant connectors and ports to achieve expected performance.
