InLine Flat patch cable, U/FTP, Cat.6A, black, 0.5m

The InLine Flat patch cable U/FTP Cat.6A black 0.5m is a short, high-performance network cable designed for demanding Ethernet connections. This U/FTP Cat.6A cable uses individually foil-shielded pairs to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, while RJ-45 connectors on both ends provide standard terminations for switches, routers, network cards and patch panels. Its flat profile and 0.5 m length make it suitable for neat routing in constrained spaces such as behind racks, along baseboards or under carpets.

Advantages

The shielded U/FTP construction improves signal integrity and supports higher bandwidth applications compared with unshielded cables. The flat design enables easier cable management where space is limited and reduces visible cable bulk. Short length minimizes latency and excess cable clutter when connecting nearby devices. Standard RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with existing Ethernet equipment supporting Cat6A performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting nearby devices in home or office network setups
• Patch connections behind network racks or cabinets
• Routing under carpets or along skirting boards where a low profile is required
• Shielded installations where reduced EMI and crosstalk are needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (augmented performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: U/FTP (each pair foil-shielded with overall braid not specified)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Design: flat cable profile for low-profile routing
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the matching Ethernet port until it clicks. Use the 0.5 m flat cable to connect devices located close to each other, such as a wall-mounted switch to a server or a router to a desktop. Route the flat cable along edges or under carpets for a discrete installation, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling. For shielded performance, ensure connected equipment and patch panels support or are properly grounded for shielded cabling.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends with a radius smaller than the cable profile allows, keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines where possible, and terminate shielded connections to grounded shielded RJ-45 ports or appropriate patch panels. Use the short 0.5 m length to reduce excess cable in compact setups and to maintain clear airflow in racks and enclosures.
