InLine Patch cable flat, U/FTP, Cat.6A, TPE halogen-free, black, 1m

This InLine Patch Cable Flat U/FTP Cat.6A TPE Halogen-Free Black 1m is a 1-metre flat Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections in confined or low-profile spaces. It uses U/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity, and features RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for reliable conductivity. The jacket is made from halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), offering improved safety and reduced environmental impact compared with halogen-containing materials.

Advantages

The flat design enables routing under carpets, along skirting boards, or through narrow cable channels without adding bulk. U/FTP shielding helps protect against crosstalk and external noise, supporting stable data transmission at higher frequencies. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide corrosion resistance and consistent electrical contact. The halogen-free TPE jacket offers flexibility and reduced toxic emissions in case of fire, while the 1 m length provides a compact solution for short links between devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer, switch, or router in tight spaces
• Home and office networks where low-profile cabling is needed
• Installation under desks, along skirting boards, or inside shallow conduits
• High-speed 10GBASE-T and Gigabit Ethernet short links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Flat U/FTP Cat.6A
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks into place. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; route it along flat surfaces or through cable management channels. When disconnecting, press the connector tab and pull straight out to prevent damage to the plug or port. Use the 1 m length for short point-to-point connections between equipment in the same room.

Recommendations

For best results, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as large transformers or unshielded power cables. If multiple cables run in parallel, allow a small separation or use cable clips to maintain flat alignment and prevent stacking that could affect shielding effectiveness.
