InLine Flat Ultraslim Patch Cable U/UTP Cat.6 Gigabit ready grey 5m

Flat InLine® Patch Cable Cat.6, 5 m length, designed for LAN data networks and Gigabit-ready connections. This ultra-flat U/UTP cable contains four twisted pairs in a profile height of approximately 1 mm, allowing installation in limited spaces such as behind furniture, under carpets or along skirtings. It is intended for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet connections between switches, routers, hubs, network cards, print servers and other active or passive network devices. The grey colour and slim design support discreet routing in home and office environments.

Advantages

The flat Cat.6 construction provides reliable data transmission for Gigabit-capable networks while enabling installation in narrow gaps and along surfaces where round cables are impractical. U/UTP shielding reduces external interference. A 5 m length offers flexibility for typical patching between wall outlets, equipment and cabinets. The slim 1 mm profile helps maintain airflow inside racks and makes cable access and management easier in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and hubs to endpoints
• Patch connections to network cards and print servers
• Routing behind furniture, under carpets or along skirtings
• Use inside rack cabinets where space and airflow are important

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 6 (Cat.6)
• Length: 5 m
• Shielding: U/UTP
• Cable type: 4-pair twisted, ultra-flat (approx. 1 mm profile height)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Route the flat patch cable between the network devices to be connected, keeping bends gentle to avoid stress on the pairs. Insert RJ45 plugs into the corresponding ports of switches, routers, PCs or other peripherals until they click into place. If placing under carpets or behind furniture, ensure the cable is not pinched by heavy objects and avoid sharp edges. When used in rack cabinets, position the cable to support ventilation and easy access to ports.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid excessive bending and crushing of the cable. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources where possible. Verify that connected devices support Cat.6/Gigabit speeds to achieve maximum throughput.
