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

The InLine Flat patch cable U/FTP Cat.6A red 7m is a flat network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections over a 7-metre run. It uses U/FTP shielding and Cat.6A performance class to support data transmission at higher frequencies and improved resistance to crosstalk and external interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors, and the slim flat profile enables discreet routing along walls, under carpets or in narrow installation gaps.

Advantages

The flat profile reduces bulk and makes the cable easier to route in confined spaces without creating visible bumps. U/FTP shielding (overall unshielded with individually foil-shielded pairs) improves signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. Cat.6A specification provides support for higher bandwidths and longer distances for 10 Gigabit Ethernet compared with lower category cables. The red cable colour allows simple visual identification in cabling bundles.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Running Ethernet along skirting boards, under carpets or through narrow channels
• Temporary setups for events or workspaces that require minimal cable profile

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded, each pair foil-shielded)
• Length: 7 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Design: Flat profile for low-height routing
• Colour: Red

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (PC, switch, router or modem) and the other end into the corresponding port of the network equipment. Route the flat cable along walls, under carpets or through narrow gaps to minimize visibility and trip hazard. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and that cable bends remain gentle to avoid stress on the conductors and shielding. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to mains power cables where possible.

Recommendations

For optimal signal quality, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and maintain smooth bends with a large bend radius. Use the red colour for easy identification in multi-cable runs and consider labeling both ends if used in structured cabling. The cable is suitable for indoor use; avoid exposure to moisture and direct sunlight.
