InLine Flat patch cable, U/FTP, Cat.6A, red, 10m

The InLine Flat patch cable U/FTP Cat.6A red 10m is a 10-metre network patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference. Its flat profile allows routing in tight spaces such as under carpets, along skirting boards or through cable channels, while the red jacket provides clear visual identification in network installations. The cable meets Category 6A shielding and performance expectations for Class EA applications and is suitable for typical home and office network setups.

Advantages

The flat construction minimises thickness and improves flexibility for low-profile runs and discreet routing. U/FTP shielding with individually foiled pairs reduces crosstalk and external interference, supporting stable high-speed connections. Standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network devices. A 10 m length covers most medium-distance connections within rooms or between adjacent office spaces, and the red colour assists in quick identification of specific network lines.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Low-profile cabling under carpets, along skirting boards or inside cable ducts
• Patch connections in server closets and small rack installations
• Temporary or permanent cabling where colour-coded identification is useful

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A (Class EA)
• Shielding type: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Design: Flat cable profile for low-height routing
• Colour: Red
• Intended use: Ethernet data transmission, up to Cat6A performance

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (for example a router, switch or wall socket) and the other end to the target device such as a PC, NAS or access point. Route the flat cable along the chosen path, pressing it gently into place under skirting boards or inside cable channels to prevent tripping hazards. Avoid sharp bends and do not place heavy objects on the cable to maintain signal integrity. For sealed or exposed installations, ensure connectors are fully inserted to achieve a correct latch and contact.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use the red colour to mark critical connections or to follow a colour-coded cabling scheme. If running the cable over longer distances beyond 10 m, consider using additional patch points or selecting an appropriate length to maintain Cat6A performance.
