InLine Flat patch cable, U/FTP, Cat.6A, blue, 1m

The InLine Flat patch cable U/FTP Cat.6A blue 1m is a one-metre network patch lead designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling environments. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a slim, flat jacket that eases routing in tight spaces. The U/FTP shielding (overall unshielded with individually foil-shielded pairs) helps reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, supporting stable connections for Gigabit and higher-speed Ethernet links.

Advantages

The flat design allows neat installation under carpets, along skirting boards, or behind furniture without bulking. U/FTP construction provides improved protection against pair-to-pair crosstalk and external noise compared to unshielded cables, which is beneficial in environments with multiple nearby cables or electronic equipment. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with network switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices while the 1 m length offers a convenient reach for short connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within a rack or desk area
• Short patch runs between wall outlets and network devices
• Home offices and small office network setups
• Areas where a low-profile cable is preferred for discreet routing

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded, individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: Blue
• Form factor: Flat jacket for low-profile routing

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the flat cable along desired surfaces, keeping it away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible. For permanent installations, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension to preserve cable performance.

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, avoid running the patch cable parallel and in close proximity to power cables or large transformers. Use cable clips or adhesive channels for secure, low-profile routing and maintain bend radii consistent with typical network cable handling to prevent damage to the internal pairs.
