InLine Patch cable slim, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogen-free, black 10m

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free black 10m is a 10-metre network patch cable engineered for high-speed Ethernet connections in structured cabling environments. It uses U/FTP (unshielded foil twisted pair) Cat.8.1 construction to support elevated bandwidth and reduced crosstalk. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer. The outer jacket is made from halogen-free TPE material in black, providing increased safety and improved flexibility for installation in offices, server rooms and other networked spaces.

Advantages

The slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 design minimises interference and supports high-frequency data transmission suitable for current and future network standards. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve conductivity and resist corrosion, ensuring consistent connection quality. The halogen-free TPE jacket offers better fire safety characteristics and remains flexible for easier routing in tight spaces. A 10 m length provides reach for rack-to-rack or workstation connections without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections in offices and data centres
• Server rack interconnects and switch-to-switch cabling
• Workstation and desktop network links requiring Cat.8.1 performance
• Environments where non-halogen materials are required for safety

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1 U/FTP
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device or patch panel and the other end to the target switch, router or workstation Ethernet port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tension; maintain a bend radius consistent with high-frequency cables and avoid running parallel to heavy electrical power lines to reduce interference. For installations in racks or conduits, allow appropriate slack for maintenance and equipment movement.

Recommendations

The cable is intended for indoor structured cabling and short-reach high-speed links. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace if contact or housing defects are found. For optimal performance, use with compatible Cat.8.1 or higher networking equipment and avoid exceeding recommended bend radius or tensile stress during routing.
