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

The InLine Flat patch cable U/FTP Cat.6A grey 7m is a slim, shielded Ethernet lead designed for high-speed network connections. With a flat profile and U/FTP (unshielded overall / foiled twisted pair) construction, this Cat6A cable supports up to 10000 Mbit/s data transfer and 10GBase-T cabling technology. The cable is terminated with RJ-45 connectors at both ends and is finished in a neutral grey colour, combining compact installation properties with improved interference suppression for reliable performance in demanding network environments.

Advantages

The flat design reduces space requirements and facilitates routing under carpets, along skirting boards, and through narrow cable channels while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics. U/FTP shielding provides individual foil around twisted pairs which lowers crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded alternatives. Support for Cat.6A and 10GBase-T ensures compatibility with modern switches, routers and network devices that require 10 gigabit throughput over copper cabling.

Suitable for

• Office workstations and desk-to-switch connections where low profile cabling is needed
• Home networks requiring 10 Gbit/s connectivity for NAS, media servers or gaming
• Data cabinets and patch panels in confined spaces where flat cables simplify routing
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where improved shielding is beneficial

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router, PC or NAS) and the other plug to the corresponding port. Route the flat cable along skirting boards, under carpets, or through cable raceways to minimize visible wiring and avoid tight bending radii. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted and the locking clips engage. For best signal integrity, avoid sharp folds and keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines where possible.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short- to medium-length 10GBase-T runs within single rooms or between adjacent racks; if longer distances or harsh electromagnetic environments are expected, consider appropriate installation practices or alternative cabling options. Check connector seating if intermittent connectivity occurs and avoid excessive twisting or compression of the flat cable to maintain performance.
