InLine Flat Ultraslim Patch Cable U/UTP Cat.6 Gigabit ready black 0.5m

Flat InLine® Patch Cable Cat.6, 0.5 m, black — ultra-flat U/UTP Ethernet patch cable designed for Gigabit LAN connections. The cable has four twisted pairs and RJ-45 plugs on both ends, providing Cat.6 performance for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet links between switches, routers, hubs, network cards, print servers and other active or passive network devices. With a profile height of approximately 1 mm, the flat design allows discreet installation behind furniture, under carpets, along skirting boards or inside racks where space is limited.

Advantages

The ultra-flat profile minimizes cable visibility and enables routing in narrow gaps, while the Cat.6 specification and RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable data transmission at Gigabit speeds. Its thin construction supports improved airflow inside racks and simplifies access to sockets and cables. The black colour helps the cable blend into typical office or home environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and hubs in Gigabit and Fast Ethernet networks
• Linking network cards and print servers to network infrastructure
• Installing in tight spaces: behind furniture, under carpets, along skirting boards
• Use inside server or network racks where low-profile cabling is required

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat.6 (Gigabit)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded)
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Colour: Black
• Profile height: approx. 1 mm (ultra-flat)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the source device (switch, router or PC) and the other connector into the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click. Route the cable along the chosen path — behind furniture, under a carpet or along skirting boards — keeping bends gentle to avoid sharp kinks. When used inside racks, place the flat cable to maximise airflow and maintain tidy cable management.

Recommendations

Do not bend the cable sharply or apply heavy loads; avoid running the cable under doors that may clamp it. For permanent installations or outdoor use, choose a cable specifically rated for those conditions. Verify network device ports support Cat.6/Gigabit speeds for optimal performance.
