InLine Patch cable flat, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogen-free, black, 2m

The InLine Patch Cable Flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE Halogen-Free Black 2m is a flat network patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Constructed with U/FTP shielding and Cat.8.1 performance, the cable supports demanding network environments while its halogen-free TPE jacket improves safety and mechanical durability. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and reduced signal loss across the 2 m length, and the low-profile flat design allows easy routing in confined spaces.

Advantages

This flat Cat.8.1 patch cable provides high-frequency performance with U/FTP shielding to minimize crosstalk and external interference. The halogen-free TPE outer material resists abrasion and reduces toxic gas emissions in case of fire. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve conductivity and corrosion resistance for reliable signal transmission. The 2 m length and flat profile facilitate neat cable management and installation under carpets or along skirting boards.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Home or office gigabit and multi-gigabit network connections
• Situations requiring low-profile routing under floors, behind furniture, or along walls
• Environments where reduced halogen content is required for safety

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall and individually shielded pairs)
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Cable shape: Flat profile for low-profile routing
• Length: 2 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network device (switch, router, NAS or computer) and the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding port on the other device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the flat cable through the desired path, avoiding sharp bends and pinching points; the flat profile allows placement under carpets or along edges for discreet installation. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines over long distances.

Recommendations

For reliable high-speed operation, use this Cat.8.1 flat cable for short-range connections up to the recommended 2 m length and keep connections clean and free of debris. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or contacts show visible wear. When installing near other cables or electrical equipment, maintain separation to reduce potential interference.
