InLine Patch cable slim, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogen-free, black 1m

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free black 1m is a 1 metre slim patch cable engineered for high-speed network connections. Constructed with U/FTP shielding compliant with Cat.8.1 standards and a halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket, the cable supports reliable data transmission while offering a compact, flexible profile. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact quality and low signal loss for demanding networking environments.

Advantages

The slim design reduces cable bulk in dense installations and improves airflow in racks and enclosures. U/FTP shielding around each pair plus an overall drain/foil layer minimises crosstalk and external interference, supporting higher frequencies and stable throughput. The halogen-free TPE jacket provides increased flexibility and a safer material profile in confined spaces. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts deliver improved corrosion resistance and low contact resistance for sustained performance.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links in data centres and server rooms
• Structured cabling between switches, patch panels and active equipment
• Environments requiring compact, low-profile cabling
• Installations where halogen-free materials are preferred for safety

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1 (U/FTP)
• Length: 1 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Conductor and shielding: individually foiled pairs with overall shield
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE
• Connector finish: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port on your switch, router or network interface and the other end to the corresponding device or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; maintain the cable bend radius recommended by Cat.8.1 standards to preserve shielding integrity and signal performance.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-distance, high-frequency links where Cat.8.1 performance and a slim profile are required. Route cables away from strong electromagnetic sources, avoid tight bundling with power lines, and check connector seating periodically. For permanent installations in enclosed spaces, choose halogen-free materials like TPE for improved safety.
