InLine Flat patch cable, U/FTP, Cat.6A, yellow, 1m

The InLine Flat patch cable U/FTP Cat.6A yellow 1m is a slim, 1-metre network patch lead designed for high-speed data transmission in compact and organized network environments. Built to Cat.6A specification with U/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs while maintaining reduced crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Its flat profile and yellow colour help route and identify connections in dense cable channels, under desks, or along walls where low-profile routing is required.

Advantages

The U/FTP shielding around twisted pairs minimizes alien crosstalk and improves signal integrity compared with unshielded cables, which is important for 10 Gbps performance. The flat design reduces bulk and allows the cable to fit through narrow gaps, beneath floorcoverings, or behind equipment more easily than round cables. RJ-45 terminations on both ends provide compatibility with standard network ports, and the bright yellow jacket simplifies visual identification and cable management in mixed-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, patch panels, and network devices
• Workspace and home office setups where low-profile cable routing is required
• Structured cabling runs in patch zones, racks, and horizontal cabling where colour coding is used
• Environments requiring improved protection against interference compared to UTP cables

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A
• Shielding: U/FTP (unshielded overall, foil-shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Profile: flat
• Colour: yellow
• Application: supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your device and the other plug to a switch, router, or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks for a secure connection. Route the flat cable along intended paths, making gentle bends rather than tight angles to avoid strain. For in-wall or permanent installations verify local regulations and installation practices before concealment; the flat design allows placement under carpets or along skirting where permitted.

Recommendations

To preserve performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines for long distances and keep the cable free from sharp kinks and excessive tensile stress. Use colour-coded routing and labels to maintain an organized network layout and replace the cable if connector damage or visible jacket wear appears.
