InLine Patch cable flat, U/FTP, Cat.6A, TPE halogen-free, black, 5m

The InLine Flat Patch Cable 5m Cat.6A U/FTP in black is designed for wired network connections that require high data throughput and compact cable routing. This flat, halogen-free TPE cable supports Category 6A performance and offers improved flexibility for installation in tight spaces. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors to ensure compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network devices.

Advantages

The flat profile reduces cable bulk and allows routing under carpets, along skirting boards or behind furniture while maintaining reliable signal integrity. U/FTP shielding around twisted pairs reduces near-end crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, supporting stable high-speed transmission. Halogen-free TPE construction provides greater flexibility and a safer material choice in confined environments where low smoke and low toxicity are desired. Standard RJ-45 plugs provide plug-and-play connectivity with existing Ethernet equipment.

Suitable for

• Office and home Ethernet connections between computers, switches and routers
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment in tight or low-clearance spaces
• Structured cabling runs requiring Cat.6A performance at short distances
• Installations where a flat, low-profile cable is preferred for discreet routing

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet at supported distances
• Cable type: Flat U/FTP — overall unshielded with individually foiled twisted pairs
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends, 8P8C pinout
• Material: Halogen-free TPE jacket for flexibility and reduced smoke/toxicity
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (for example a switch, router or computer) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the remote device or wall outlet. Ensure plugs are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the flat cable along edges, under carpets or behind furniture as needed, avoiding sharp bends with radii smaller than the cable width. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines over long distances to reduce the potential for interference.

Recommendations

For consistent 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance, keep the cable length within specified distances for Cat.6A applications and avoid tight compression or severe kinks. Use appropriate strain relief at connection points and avoid repeated plugging cycles beyond normal use to preserve connector integrity.
