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

The InLine Patch Cable Flat U/FTP Cat.6A TPE Halogen-Free Grey 1m is a 1-metre network patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in environments that require reduced electromagnetic interference and space-saving cable routing. The flat profile permits routing under carpets, along skirting boards or through narrow cable management channels while both ends feature standard RJ-45 connectors for immediate compatibility with network equipment. The cable uses U/FTP shielding and meets Cat.6A performance criteria, and its halogen-free TPE jacket supports safer use in occupied spaces.

Advantages

The flat construction reduces profile height and simplifies installation in confined pathways without sacrificing performance. U/FTP shielding limits crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity for gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet links. The halogen-free TPE jacket provides a flexible, durable outer layer with lower smoke and toxic gas emissions in case of fire compared with halogen-containing materials. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure plug-and-play connectivity with switches, routers, patch panels and network outlets.

Suitable for

• Office workstations and desktop connections where cable runs must be discreet
• Home networking for broadband, media streaming and gaming setups
• Patch panels and wall outlets in cabinets or shallow racks
• Environments requiring halogen-free cabling for safety or regulatory reasons

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (meets standards for 10 Gbps over appropriate distances)
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)
• Colour: Grey
• Profile: Flat cable for low-profile routing

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router or wall outlet) and the other plug to the target device (PC, NAS, media player). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the flat cable along desired pathways—under carpets, along skirting boards or through cable channels—avoiding sharp bends with radii smaller than recommended for Ethernet cables. For best signal performance, keep the cable separated from strong power sources and large electrical motors where possible.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance, use within typical patch lengths and avoid excessive bundling with unshielded power cables. Inspect connectors for damage before use and avoid repeated severe flexing at the connector ends. Clean contacts gently if needed and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors are compromised.
