InLine Flat patch cable, U/FTP, Cat.6A, blue, 7m

The InLine 71807B flat patch cable is a 7 m Cat.6A network cable designed for high-speed wired connections between switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices. The cable uses U/FTP shielding around individual pairs to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, helping to maintain stable data transmission at higher frequencies. Standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with common Ethernet ports while the blue jacket provides clear visual identification in structured cabling runs.

Advantages

This Cat.6A patch cable supports higher bandwidths and improved signal integrity compared with lower-category cables, thanks to enhanced pair shielding and cable construction. The U/FTP design helps minimise interference in environments with multiple cables or nearby electronic equipment. With a 7 m length and standard RJ-45 terminations, the cable offers flexibility for typical office and home installations and is simple to install without special tools.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office LANs
• Wired connections for desktop PCs, servers and NAS devices
• Structured cabling where reduced interference is required
• High-bandwidth applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium runs

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A
• Cable length: 7 m
• Shielding: U/FTP (shielded pairs with overall jacket)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Blue
• Usage: Ethernet data transmission

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on the devices you wish to connect, ensuring secure clicks on both ends. Route the cable along walls, under desks or through cable management channels to avoid sharp bends and excessive stress; maintain the natural curvature of the cable and avoid kinking. For structured installations, label both ends if required to document connections. No special configuration is needed at the cable level; network settings are controlled by connected devices.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with power lines and keep a short separation from sources of electromagnetic interference. Maintain bend radii greater than the cable diameter and avoid tension on the connectors. Use the 7 m length for connecting equipment within the same room or rack; for longer runs, select appropriate fixed cabling rated for in-wall installation.
