InLine Flat patch cable, U/FTP, Cat.6A, white, 5m

The InLine Flat patch cable U/FTP Cat.6A white 5m is a 5-metre network patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. It uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends and features U/FTP shielding and Cat.6A performance to support reliable data transmission. The flat cable profile reduces bulk and allows routing along walls, under carpets or through narrow gaps while the white jacket offers discrete integration into residential and office environments.

Advantages

The flat construction minimizes cable thickness and enables flexible placement in constrained spaces where round cables are impractical. U/FTP shielding reduces alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity for demanding Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network devices, while the 5 m length provides a practical reach for many desktop and wall-to-equipment connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within home or office networks
• Patch connections in wall-mounted or floor-level installations where space is limited
• Short runs between network equipment in meeting rooms or workstations
• Environments requiring reduced interference for high-speed data transfer

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A (augmented Cat6) performance
• Shielding: U/FTP (unshielded pair with overall foil shielding per pair)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: White
• Design: Flat cable profile for low-profile routing

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the locking tab clicks. Route the flat cable along baseboards, under carpets or through cable channels to keep it tidy and out of the way. Avoid sharp bends at the connector ends and do not apply excessive tensile force to the cable to maintain performance and connector integrity.

Recommendations

For optimum signal quality, avoid running the U/FTP flat cable in parallel alongside high-power electrical cables for extended distances. When installing under carpets or in tight spaces, maintain gentle curves rather than sharp folds and secure the cable with low-profile clips to prevent movement. For 10 Gbit/s applications, use certified Cat.6A-compliant infrastructure and avoid damage to the shielding at termination points.
