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

The InLine Flat patch cable U/FTP Cat.6A grey 0.5m is a short, flat Ethernet patch lead designed for high-speed data transmission in confined spaces. Rated to Cat.6A performance, the cable supports applications that require improved next‑generation bandwidth and reduced alien crosstalk. U/FTP shielding around each pair provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference, while RJ‑45 connectors on both ends ensure standard plug-and-play connectivity for network devices.

Advantages

The flat construction reduces cable bulk and allows routing under carpets, along baseboards or through narrow gaps without forming prominent loops. U/FTP shielding improves signal integrity in environments with potential interference from nearby electrical equipment. Being 0.5 m in length, the cable minimizes excess slack and contributes to a neat installation near switches, patch panels or desktop devices. Neutral grey coloring integrates unobtrusively into most office and home interiors.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections between routers, switches and patch panels
• Desk- or shelf-level connections where minimal cable slack is desired
• Installations requiring low-profile routing under flooring or along trim
• Home and office networks that benefit from shielded Cat.6A performance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A performance class
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall flat cable with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Construction: flat profile for low-height routing
• Colour: grey

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 end to the LAN port of a router, switch or modem and the other end to a computer, access point or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. The flat design allows you to guide the cable along baseboards or through tight spaces; avoid sharp bends with radii smaller than the cable thickness to maintain performance. If used near larger power cables or strong electromagnetic sources, maintain separation where practical despite the shielding.

Recommendations

For best results, use this 0.5 m Cat.6A U/FTP patch cable for short, visible runs where reduced cable profile is important. Avoid repeated flexing at the connector ends and do not overstress the cable by stretching; keep bend radius gentle and secure with non-abrasive clips to prevent damage to the shielding and conductors.
