InLine Patch cable flat, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogen-free, black, 7.5m

The InLine Patch Cable Flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE Halogen-Free Black 7.5m is a flat network patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Compliant with Cat.8.1 specifications, the cable supports elevated bandwidth and data rates for modern network infrastructures. Its U/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, while halogen-free TPE construction increases safety in environments where reduced toxic gas emission is important. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure stable contact and corrosion resistance, and the slim black flat design facilitates discrete routing along walls, under carpets or through narrow spaces.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat.8.1 compliance offers improved signal integrity and bandwidth compared to lower-category patch leads. U/FTP shielding provides individual pair protection plus an overall foil, lowering near-end and far-end crosstalk and improving performance in electrically noisy environments. The flat profile simplifies installation in tight spaces and helps maintain a neat cable layout. Halogen-free TPE material reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire, and gold-plated RJ-45 plugs provide reliable electrical contact and resistance to oxidation.

Suitable for

• High-speed local area networks (LANs) requiring Cat.8.1 performance
• Data centres and server rooms with dense cabling and electromagnetic interference
• Home or office installations where flat cables are preferred for routing under carpets or along skirting boards
• Environments where halogen-free materials are required for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall braid/foil with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Conductor material: multi-core copper (stranded)
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE
• Form factor: flat profile, black colour

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or network interface on a computer) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the flat cable along the desired path — along skirting boards, under carpets or through cable channels — taking care to avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress. For best performance, keep the cable separated from large power cables and strong electromagnetic sources.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid repeated heavy bending near connector ends, and protect the cable from crushing or pinching. When installing multiple cables, maintain minimal separation from power lines to reduce interference. Inspect connectors periodically for debris and ensure the gold-plated contacts remain clean. Use the cable within intended indoor environments and temperature ranges specified for TPE-jacketed networking cables.
