InLine Patch cable flat, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogen-free, black, 0.5m

The InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free black 0.5m is a short, flat Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections in compact installations. It uses U/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and supports the Cat.8.1 standard for elevated bandwidth and signal integrity. The halogen-free TPE jacket improves safety and durability, while gold‑plated RJ-45 connectors ensure stable contact and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

The flat design allows the cable to fit under carpets, through narrow gaps, and behind equipment with minimal bend radius. U/FTP shielding around twisted pairs minimizes crosstalk and external interference, supporting reliable data transmission at high frequencies. A halogen-free TPE outer jacket provides enhanced fire safety and mechanical resilience, and gold-plated contacts deliver consistent conductivity and longer connector life.

Suitable for

• High-speed interconnections between network devices in server rooms and data cabinets
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and workstations in dense cable environments
• Short in-room links where flat cables are needed to pass under flooring or along skirting boards
• Environments requiring halogen-free materials and improved fire safety

Key specifications

• Cable type: flat U/FTP (shielded each pair)
• Performance class: Category 8.1
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE
• Colour: black

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other connector into the corresponding port on the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the flat cable along the desired path, avoiding sharp folds or excessive tension; the flat profile allows discreet routing under carpets or along skirting boards. For best performance, keep the cable length appropriate to the link requirements and avoid tightly bundling it with unshielded power cables.

Recommendations

For optimal network performance, use this Cat.8.1 U/FTP patch cable for short, high-frequency links and maintain proper connector seating. Avoid kinking the cable and keep it separated from high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors periodically for dirt or damage and replace the cable if the jacket shows significant wear.
