InLine patchkabel, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000 MHz, halogeenvrij, grijs, 3 m

The InLine Patch cable S/FTP PiMf Cat.8.1 2000MHz halogen-free grey 3m is a high-performance network cable designed for demanding Ethernet applications. It is a shielded S/FTP (PiMf) Cat.8.1 cable with a specified bandwidth of 2000 MHz, supplied in a 3 m length and terminated with RJ-45 connectors. The halogen-free jacket reduces harmful emissions in case of fire and the grey colour provides a neutral appearance suitable for a variety of installations.

Advantages

The cable's S/FTP PiMf construction provides individual pair shielding with overall braid, which improves immunity to electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense cabling environments. The Cat.8.1 rating and 2000 MHz bandwidth enable support for very high data rates over short connection runs. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and help reduce contact resistance and signal loss. The halogen-free jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces and the 3 m length is convenient for patching between racks, switches and wall outlets.

Suitable for

• Short-range high-speed Ethernet links in data centres and server rooms
• Patch panel to switch connections in networking racks
• High-bandwidth applications such as 25G/40G Ethernet over copper where supported
• Environments requiring halogen-free cabling for reduced smoke and acidic gas emissions

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1 (S/FTP PiMf)
• Bandwidth: 2000 MHz
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: halogen-free, grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network equipment port and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the switch, patch panel or device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radii recommended for high-frequency cables to preserve performance. When used in rack or cabinet installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP cable for short runs up to the intended maximum distance for the chosen application and ensure both connected devices and ports support the required data rates. Avoid running the cable parallel to large power lines and maintain recommended bend radius and strain relief to prevent degradation of the cable shielding and conductor alignment.
