Patch Cable S-Conn Cat 8.1 F/FTP double-shielded halogen-free 2000 MHz, black, 10.0 m

S-Conn Cat 8.1 patch cable, 10.0 m, features F/FTP double-shielded construction with a halogen-free jacket and is specified for transmission up to 2000 MHz. The cable is intended for high-speed LAN and data center environments where high-frequency performance, reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal integrity are required. The black jacket provides a professional appearance and the length of 10.0 m accommodates longer runs between racks, switches and workstations.

Advantages

The F/FTP double-shielded design offers robust protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, while the halogen-free outer jacket reduces toxic gas emissions in case of fire. The cable supports very high-frequency transmission up to 2000 MHz, enabling reliable performance for modern Ethernet standards and short-distance high-speed backbones. Its industrial-grade construction and consistent impedance control help maintain signal integrity across the entire 10.0 m length.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN links and switch-to-switch connections in enterprise networks
• Data center short-reach interconnects and top-of-rack cabling
• Applications requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved shielding
• Environments where halogen-free cable materials are preferred for fire safety compliance

When it may not be suitable

This Cat 8.1 patch cable is designed for short-reach, high-frequency applications; it is not intended as a long-haul or outdoor trunk cable. It may be over-specified for simple home networks or low-bandwidth applications where lower category cables (Cat5e/Cat6) would be sufficient and more cost-effective.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 8.1
• Connector type: shielded RJ45 patch connectors (industry-standard modular plugs)
• Shielding: F/FTP double-shielded (overall foil + individual pair foil)
• Frequency rating: up to 2000 MHz
• Length: 10.0 m
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Color: black
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs with controlled impedance

How to use

Use the S-Conn Cat 8.1 patch cable to connect network devices such as switches, patch panels and servers within racks and equipment cabinets. Ensure that both ends are fully inserted into the RJ45 ports until the connector latches. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and crush points; maintain bend radius recommended for high-frequency shielded cables. If used in a structured cabling system, label both ends to match port assignments and avoid coiling excess cable tightly to prevent signal degradation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your network hardware supports high-frequency Cat 8.1 performance and shielded RJ45 connections.
• Evaluate whether a 10.0 m patch length matches your rack or workspace layout to avoid excess cable management issues.
• Assess fire-safety requirements and whether halogen-free jacket material is required on-site.
• Verify connector compatibility with existing patch panels and device ports that accept shielded RJ45 plugs.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, install within short-reach, shielded environments, keep cable runs away from major sources of interference, and use compatible shielded patch panels and sockets to maintain the shielding continuity.
