InLine Flat Ultraslim Patch Cable U/UTP Cat.6 Gigabit ready yellow 1m

Flat InLine® Patch Cable for LAN data networks in Cat.6 without U/UTP shielding. This ultra-flat 4-pair twisted cable has a profile height of only 1 mm and a length of 1 m, and is intended for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet connections between switches, routers, hubs, network cards, print servers and other active or passive network devices. The cable is yellow and supports Gigabit-capable Cat.6 transmission while allowing discreet routing in confined spaces such as behind furniture, skirting boards, door jambs or under carpets. In rack installations the flat design helps improve air circulation and makes sockets and cable access easier.

Advantages

The flat Cat.6 construction reduces space requirements and enables near-invisible routing along floors and walls. Four twisted pairs provide the signal structure required for Gigabit Ethernet over Cat.6, while the 1 m length and yellow colour make identification and short connections straightforward. The ultra-slim profile can be positioned in narrow gaps and contributes to better cable management in racks by promoting airflow and simplifying access to ports.

Suitable for

• Short Ethernet and Fast Ethernet connections between switches, routers and hubs
• Connecting network cards and print servers to local networks
• Discrete cabling behind furniture, under carpets or along skirting boards
• Neat cable routing inside server racks to improve airflow and access

How to use

Plug one RJ45 end into the network device (switch, router, hub, network card or print server) and the other end into the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to guarantee reliable contact. Route the flat cable along the chosen path — behind skirting boards, under carpet edges or along walls — keeping it free from sharp bends that could stress the conductors. For rack use, run the cable along cable channels or tie points to keep it secure and maintain airflow.

Recommendations

For optimal signal quality, avoid prolonged tight bends and excessive mechanical stress. Use the 1 m flat patch cable for short runs and indoor installations; if longer distances or outdoor routing are required, select an appropriate longer cable or one with suitable environmental protection.
