InLine Patch cable flat, U/FTP, Cat.6A, TPE halogen-free, grey, 3m

The InLine Patch Cable Flat U/FTP Cat.6A TPE Halogen-Free Grey 3m is a 3-meter flat network patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission. Constructed with U/FTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting reliable connections in structured networks and point-to-point links. The halogen-free TPE jacket provides flame retardant properties and improved environmental safety while the slim, flat profile allows installation in tight spaces and under carpeting. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors for compatibility with switches, routers, network sockets and other Ethernet devices.

Advantages

The U/FTP shielding around individual pairs combined with an overall foil improves signal integrity and helps maintain performance at higher frequencies. The Cat.6A specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper at suitable distances. The flat cable design reduces bending radius issues, eases routing through narrow channels and contributes to a low-profile installation. A halogen-free TPE outer jacket reduces toxic gas emissions in case of fire and offers flexibility across a wide range of installation scenarios. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure plug-and-play compatibility with common network equipment.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office and data centre environments
• Wall-to-desk or under-carpet routing where low-profile cabling is required
• Shielded setups requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Short to mid-range horizontal cabling runs up to the cable's certified distance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A performance for higher-frequency data transmission
• Shielding: U/FTP (foil shielded pairs with overall shielding)
• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Outer jacket material: Halogen-free TPE
• Form factor: Flat profile for tight-space installations
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of a switch, router or patch panel and the other end to the target device such as a computer, IP phone or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure physical connection. Route the flat cable along clean paths, avoiding sharp bends and tight pinches that could damage the internal pairs or the shield. For best performance, keep the cable separated from large power cables and strong electromagnetic sources where possible.

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, use this Cat.6A U/FTP flat cable within standard horizontal cabling lengths and maintain proper bend radius. When installing in permanent infrastructure, verify the cable meets local building and fire-safety codes regarding halogen-free materials. Periodically inspect connectors for dirt or damage and replace the cable if shielding or jacket integrity is compromised.
