InLine Patch cable flat, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogen-free, black, 0.25m

The InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free black 0.25m is a short, high-performance network patch lead designed for compact installations and high-speed data transmission. With Cat.8.1 specification and U/FTP shielding, the cable supports reduced crosstalk and external interference in environments with dense cabling or strong electromagnetic sources. The flat profile and 0.25 m length make it useful for neat connections between devices in rack-mounted equipment, behind wall plates, or between adjacent ports where space is limited.

Advantages

The cable combines U/FTP shielding to minimize pair-to-pair and external electromagnetic interference with reliable RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for consistent signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The halogen-free TPE jacket offers improved safety in enclosed spaces by reducing harmful gas emissions in the event of fire and provides flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The flat design reduces cable bulk and allows for tidy cable management in patch panels and workstations.

Suitable for

• Short connections between network devices in racks and wall outlets
• High-speed Ethernet links up to Cat.8.1 performance in data centers and server rooms
• Environments with limited space behind equipment or under floor panels
• Installations requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall foil with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Cable profile: flat
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of the source device and the other RJ-45 plug to the destination device or patch panel. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted and the locking clip engages to secure the connection. Because of the short length, use this cable to bridge closely spaced ports or to create tidy internal connections where longer cables would create clutter. Avoid sharp bends near the connector ends to maintain shielding integrity and signal performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this cable for short-distance, high-speed links where Cat.8.1 characteristics are required. Route the flat cable along edges or under trays to keep it protected and avoid crossing power cables whenever possible to reduce potential interference. Inspect connectors for debris before insertion and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs show visible damage.
