InLine Flat patch cable, U/FTP, Cat.6A, grey, 1.5m

The InLine Flat patch cable U/FTP Cat.6A grey 1.5m is a slim, shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission in constrained spaces. Conforming to Cat.6A performance guidelines, this 1.5 metre cable uses U/FTP (unshielded overall with foiled twisted pairs) construction to reduce crosstalk and external interference while maintaining a low-profile flat design. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors for compatibility with network switches, routers, patch panels and client devices.

Advantages

The U/FTP shielding provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, supporting more reliable gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links where environment noise is a factor. The flat profile eases installation under carpets, along skirting boards or through tight cable channels and helps achieve a neat, low-visibility routing. The 1.5 m length is suitable for short runs between desks, wall sockets and network equipment while maintaining full Cat.6A electrical characteristics.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home and office networks
• Short patch runs in server rooms and comms cabinets
• Routing under carpets, along skirting boards or through cable management channels
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielded pairs are preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at specified distances)
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foiled twisted pairs)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cable profile: flat design for low-profile installation
• Colour: grey

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices, ensuring secure insertion until the latch clicks. Route the flat cable along the chosen path — under a carpet, beside skirting boards or through cable channels — avoiding sharp bends and excessive stretching. For closet or rack installations, run the cable alongside other structured cabling and secure it with non-compressive cable ties or adhesive cable clips to prevent movement. Verify link status and network speed on connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends with radii smaller than the cable width and keep the cable run clear of heavy power lines or mains transformers to reduce potential interference. Use shielded equipment or proper grounding where multiple shielded cables are connected to metal racks or panels to maintain shielding effectiveness.
