Patch Cable S-Conn Cat 8.1 U/FTP PiMF flat halogen-free yellow 1.5 m

S-Conn Cat 8.1 U/FTP PiMF flat halogen-free yellow 1.5 m patch cable is a high-performance network lead engineered for short-distance, high-frequency Ethernet connections. The cable uses U/FTP shielding with Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF) to reduce crosstalk and external interference, while the flat, low-profile design and halogen-free jacket make it suitable for dense cable runs in server rooms, data centres and modern LAN installations. At 1.5 m length and Cat 8.1 performance, it is intended for applications that require reliable, high-speed links with improved shielding and flexible routing options.

Advantages

The cable’s U/FTP PiMF construction provides enhanced protection against alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, supporting stable high-frequency transmission. The flat profile allows routing in tight spaces and under raised floors with minimal bend radius and reduced bulk. A halogen-free outer jacket improves safety in enclosed environments by limiting harmful fumes in case of fire. The bright yellow colour makes individual runs easy to identify, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Short-distance high-speed links in data centres and server racks
• Dense patch panels and cable management channels requiring low-profile cables
• LAN connections needing improved shielding for noisy electromagnetic environments
• Applications where halogen-free materials are required for safety standards

When it may not be suitable

This 1.5 m flat patch cable is not intended for long-distance backbone runs or outdoor use; its length and construction are optimised for short in-room connections. If you require an outdoor-rated, UV-resistant, or direct-burial cable, choose a product specifically designed for those conditions. Additionally, for installations that do not require Cat 8.1 performance, a lower-category cable may provide sufficient performance at lower cost.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 8.1 performance suitable for high-frequency Ethernet
• Shielding: U/FTP with Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF) for each twisted pair
• Design: flat, low-profile cable construction for tight routing
• Jacket material: halogen-free outer sheath for reduced smoke and toxic gas emissions
• Length: 1.5 metres
• Colour: yellow for easy identification

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end of the patch cable to the port on your network device, switch or patch panel and the other end to the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that cable routing avoids sharp bends and crushing points to maintain signal integrity. Use the cable for short in-rack or in-room connections; keep runs within recommended lengths for Cat 8.1 patching and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or moisture. When installing multiple cables, label or map runs to the yellow colour for straightforward maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Required link length: 1.5 m is intended for short, in-room connections
• Environmental needs: halogen-free jacket suits indoor, safety-aware installations but is not an outdoor rating
• Performance needs: Cat 8.1 is for very high-frequency applications; verify compatibility with your equipment
• Routing constraints: flat design aids tight spaces but confirm connector and port clearance

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this S-Conn Cat 8.1 U/FTP PiMF flat cable for short, high-speed patching inside racks and cabinets where improved shielding and a low-profile cable are needed. Avoid exceeding recommended bend radii, and pair with compatible high-performance networking equipment to maintain Cat 8.1 transmission characteristics.
