Patch Cable Cat. 8.1 F/FTP PIMF LSZH, S CONN maximum connectivity, 7.5 m, black

Shielded patch cable Cat. 8.1 F/FTP PIMF with LSZH jacket from S CONN maximum connectivity, 7.5 m in black, is engineered for high‑speed data transmission in demanding network environments. The cable uses overall foil shielding plus individually foil‑shielded pairs (F/FTP PIMF) to reduce crosstalk and provide improved EMI protection. Its LSZH outer jacket limits smoke and toxic gas emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations with safety requirements.

Advantages

The Cat. 8.1 F/FTP PIMF construction provides enhanced shielding and pair integrity for reliable performance at high frequencies, supporting applications that require low interference and high data throughput. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility for patching between racks, switches and wall ports without excess slack. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous emissions, and the cable’s build quality is aimed at professional LAN and data centre environments where signal integrity and compliance matter.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server rooms requiring high bandwidth cabling
• Professional LAN backbones and rack-to-rack connections
• High-speed point-to-point connections between switches and servers
• Indoor installations where low-smoke, zero-halogen materials are specified

When it may not be suitable

This Cat. 8.1 shielded patch cable is optimized for short‑reach, high‑frequency environments and may be over-specified for basic home networks or low‑bandwidth applications where Cat5e or Cat6 cables are sufficient. It is not intended for long-distance horizontal cabling beyond typical patching lengths or for outdoor burial without additional protection.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat. 8.1
• Shielding: F/FTP (overall foil with individually foil‑shielded pairs, PIMF)
• Conductor arrangement: Pairs in mirror‑foil configuration (PIMF)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Color: Black
• Intended use: Patch cable for high‑speed LAN and data centre applications

How to use

Use the patch cable to connect compatible RJ45 ports on switches, patch panels, servers and network devices. Route the cable within racks or under cable management trays, avoiding sharp bends and tight cable bundles that can stress shielding and conductors. Ensure connectors are fully seated and strain relief is applied where appropriate. For best signal integrity, keep the cable length appropriate for the connection and avoid running it in parallel with strong electrical interference sources when possible.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that connected devices support the bandwidth and standards you require for Cat. 8.1 performance.
• Confirm 7.5 m length is suitable for your rack and patching layout to avoid excess cable management issues.
• Consider whether LSZH jacket is required by building codes or site safety policies.
• Check physical space and connector compatibility (RJ45 ports and clearance in patch panels or keystones).

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use this S CONN Cat. 8.1 F/FTP PIMF LSZH patch cable for short‑reach, high‑bandwidth links inside data centres and professional LANs. Maintain proper cable routing, avoid undue mechanical stress, and pair with compatible shielded connectors and infrastructure to preserve shielding effectiveness and achieve intended performance.
