InLine Patch cable flat, U/FTP, Cat.6A, TPE halogen-free, grey, 0.25m

This InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.6A TPE halogen-free grey 0.25m is a short, high-performance network lead designed for reliable data transmission in confined environments. The cable uses U/FTP shielding and Cat.6A specification to support elevated bandwidth and reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Its flat profile and 0.25 m length make it suitable for patching between devices positioned closely together, and halogen-free TPE material enhances safety and environmental compatibility. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors for plug-and-play use in typical Ethernet networks.

Advantages

The flat U/FTP construction provides effective pair-level shielding while keeping the cable profile thin for routing in tight spaces and under carpets or along skirting boards. Cat.6A compliance ensures support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs and improved return loss characteristics compared with lower categories. The halogen-free TPE jacket reduces the risk of harmful gases in the event of fire and offers flexible handling during installation. Standard RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of network equipment.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, routers and patch panels
• Home and office workstations with limited cable space
• Hidden cable runs along baseboards or under desks
• Temporary setups for testing or demonstrations

Key specifications

• Cable type: flat U/FTP
• Category: Cat.6A
• Length: 0.25 m
• Conductor and pair shielding: foil around each pair (U/FTP)
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of your device and the other end to a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until you hear a click. Due to the short length, avoid excessive bending at the connector exit; route the flat cable along edges or under furniture to minimize strain. Verify network link status on connected equipment and test throughput if required to confirm expected performance.

Recommendations

For optimal results, use this 0.25 m Cat.6A flat cable for short-distance connections where space is limited. Avoid tight bends with radii smaller than the cable thickness and keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference despite its shielding. Replace cables that show visible damage to the jacket or connector to maintain signal integrity and safety.
