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

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free black 0.5m is a short, high-performance network patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding Ethernet environments. Constructed to Cat.8.1 specifications with U/FTP shielding and halogen-free TPE jacket material, this 0.5 m cable combines compact length and reinforced connectors to support high-speed connections where space is limited. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs ensure improved contact quality and corrosion resistance for stable signal transfer.

Advantages

The cable supports the shielding benefits of U/FTP construction to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, which helps maintain signal integrity at high frequencies. Its Cat.8.1 rating provides capability for multi-gigabit and low-latency links. The halogen-free TPE jacket increases safety by reducing toxic gas emission in case of fire and provides flexible, durable handling. Gold-plated connectors improve contact reliability and minimize oxidation over time.

Suitable for

• Short-distance high-speed links between switches, patch panels and servers in data cabinets
• Home or office workstations requiring reliable multi-gigabit Ethernet
• Environments where reduced crosstalk and EMI are important, such as dense cabling racks
• Temporary or permanent connections in network test setups and labs

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1 U/FTP
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect one gold-plated RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and the other to the corresponding device port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable run free from strong electromagnetic sources. When replacing or installing multiple cables in a cabinet, label both ends if needed to simplify identification.

Recommendations

For best results in high-density racks, use the 0.5 m length to create tidy, short patch connections between adjacent ports. Do not exceed the recommended bend radius of the cable and avoid crushing or pinching the jacket. Periodically inspect contacts for contamination and replace the cable if mechanical damage is visible.
