S-Conn Cat 8.1 Patch Cable U/FTP PiMF flat halogen-free yellow 2 m

The S-Conn Cat 8.1 Patch Cable U/FTP PiMF flat halogen-free yellow 2 m is a high-performance patch cord designed for short-distance, high-speed network connections. Its U/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs) PiMF construction reduces interference and crosstalk, while the flat, low-profile halogen-free jacket makes it suitable for tight cable runs, cable trays and underfloor routing. This 2 m cable delivers Cat 8.1 performance for professional LAN environments, data centers and server racks that require compact, flexible connections with strong shielding.

Advantages

The cable’s U/FTP PiMF shielding ensures effective protection against electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, supporting reliable high-frequency transmission. The flat design reduces bend radius concerns in narrow spaces and allows neat routing along surfaces or under carpets. The halogen-free jacket provides lower smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, meeting safety preferences for professional installations. The bright yellow color improves visual identification in dense cable environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range high-speed links in data centers and server rooms
• Patch panels, switches and rack-mounted equipment with limited space
• Professional LAN installations requiring strong shielding and low-profile cabling
• Horizontal cabling runs where visibility and color coding are needed

When it may not be suitable

This flat Cat 8.1 patch cable is optimized for short patching runs and may not be appropriate for long-distance backbone links; Cat 8.1 is intended for limited-length, high-frequency connections. It is a fixed-length, pre-terminated patch cord and therefore not suitable where custom-length or in-wall permanent cabling conforming to building codes is required.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 8.1 (high-frequency performance for short runs)
• Shielding: U/FTP PiMF (overall foil with pairs individually shielded)
• Design: flat, low-profile
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Length: 2 m
• Color: yellow

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device or switch port and the other end to the corresponding patch panel or endpoint. Ensure both ports are rated for Cat 8.1 or compatible with the cable’s shielding and performance. Route the flat cable along trays, under carpets or alongside surfaces to minimize obstruction and to maintain a low bend radius; avoid tight folding or sharp creases. For best performance, keep the patch cord away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise where possible.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended run length — Cat 8.1 cables are designed for short, high-frequency links
• Compatibility of network ports and equipment with Cat 8.1 performance and shielded connections
• Installation environment — suitability of a flat, halogen-free jacket for underfloor or surface routing
• Color-coding needs for cable management in racks and panels

Usage recommendations

Use this S-Conn Cat 8.1 flat patch cable for short, critical links where high shielding and a low-profile route are required. Pair with shielded ports and maintain gentle bends during installation to preserve signal integrity and mechanical durability.
