InLine Flat patch cable, U/FTP, Cat.6A, red, 3m

The InLine Flat patch cable U/FTP Cat.6A red 3m is a 3-metre, slim-profile network cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Its U/FTP shielding and Cat.6A specification support reliable high-speed data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference in networking environments. The flat construction makes the cable easy to route under carpets, along skirting boards or through narrow gaps while the red jacket provides clear visual identification in patch panels and wiring setups.

Advantages

The cable's U/FTP design provides individual foil shielding per pair plus an overall braid that improves protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded alternatives. The Cat.6A rating allows stable performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet at supported distances and ensures consistent bandwidth for demanding network applications. The flat profile reduces bending bulk and simplifies installation in confined spaces, and the bright red colour aids cable management and quick identification.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office or data centre patching
• Home networking where discrete routing under carpets or along skirting is needed
• Structured patch panels and wall plates requiring visible cable identification
• Environments where reduced crosstalk and EMI protection is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/FTP (individual pair foil with overall braid)
• Category: Cat.6A
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Profile: flat
• Colour: red

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device or wall outlet and the other into the corresponding switch, router or network interface. Route the flat cable along the desired path, taking advantage of its low profile to run it under carpets, along skirting boards or through narrow channels without creating excessive bends. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure a stable link. For best signal quality, avoid sharp bends and heavy pressure along the cable run.

Recommendations

For consistent 10 Gigabit performance, use the cable within typical horizontal cabling distances and pair it with compatible Cat.6A or higher-rated equipment. Maintain gentle bend radii and avoid routing the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. Use the red colour for clear labelling of critical links during installation and maintenance.
