InLine Patch cable flat, U/FTP, Cat.6A, TPE halogen-free, black, 15m

The InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.6A TPE halogen-free black 15m is a 15-metre flat network patch cable designed to meet Cat6A performance requirements. It provides shielded pair construction (U/FTP) to reduce near-end crosstalk and external interference, and uses standard RJ-45 connectors for compatibility with network devices. The halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket offers flexibility and a safer material profile for indoor installations where reduced smoke and toxic emissions are desired.

Advantages

The flat design allows the cable to be routed under carpets, along skirting boards, or through tight spaces while maintaining a compact profile. U/FTP shielding around each pair reduces electromagnetic interference and helps preserve signal integrity at high data rates typical of Cat6A applications. The halogen-free TPE jacket combines durability with improved safety characteristics compared to halogen-containing materials. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure plug-and-play connectivity with switches, routers and patch panels.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links up to Cat6A bandwidth
• Home and office network cabling where low-profile routing is needed
• Installations requiring reduced emission materials (halogen-free)
• Connections between switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 15 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE
• Colour: Black
• Form factor: Flat cable profile for low-profile routing

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router, or wall socket) and the other plug to the corresponding device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a stable connection. Route the flat cable along baseboards, under carpets or through cable management channels to minimize tripping hazards and maintain neat installation. Avoid tight bends that might crease the cable; gentle curves preserve the internal pair geometry required for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid routing the cable near high-voltage power lines or strong electromagnetic sources. When running long parallel lengths with power cabling, maintain separation to reduce potential interference. Periodically inspect connectors and the jacket for wear; replace the cable if the shielding or insulation shows visible damage. Use in indoor environments where halogen-free materials are preferred for safety.
