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

The InLine Patch Cable Flat U/FTP Cat.6A TPE Halogen-Free White 3m is a 3 metre flat network patch cable engineered for high-speed Ethernet connections. Constructed to Cat.6A U/FTP specifications, it supports high data rates and improved alien crosstalk protection compared with lower category cables. The cable uses gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable contact and corrosion resistance, and the halogen-free TPE outer jacket reduces harmful emissions in case of fire while providing a flexible, durable sheath suited to routing along walls, under carpets or through narrow conduits.

Advantages

The flat profile reduces cable bulk and makes the cable easier to route in confined spaces, behind skirting boards or under floor coverings. U/FTP construction (overall unshielded with individually foil-shielded pairs) enhances immunity to external interference and improves signal integrity for demanding Ethernet applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs ensure stable connectivity and low contact resistance. The halogen-free TPE jacket offers improved environmental and safety characteristics compared to standard PVC, with good flexibility for repeated handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Wired Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in home or small office networks
• Connections where low-profile routing is required, such as under carpets or along skirting boards
• Patch panels, switches and wall outlets with RJ-45 ports
• Installations preferring halogen-free cable materials for improved fire safety

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port on your device (PC, switch, router or wall outlet) and the other plug to the matching port on the network equipment. Ensure plugs are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the flat cable along skirting boards, under carpets or through cable channels, avoiding sharp bends and tight kinks that could damage the internal pair structure. For optimal performance, keep the cable separated from strong electrical noise sources and avoid running it parallel and close to mains power cables for long distances.

Recommendations

For stable high-speed connections, use the cable for links up to 3 metres as specified and maintain gentle bend radii. When installing near power cabling, cross at right angles where separation cannot be maintained. Periodically inspect connector ends for contamination and ensure the gold-plated contacts remain free of debris to preserve low contact resistance.
