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

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free grey 10m is a high-performance network patch cable designed for environments that require very high data rates and reduced electromagnetic interference. This slim U/FTP (unshielded overall with foiled twisted pairs) Cat.8.1 cable combines a compact, flexible outer jacket made from halogen-free TPE with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to provide reliable contact and long-term mechanical stability over a 10 meter reach.

Advantages

The cable supports Cat.8.1 performance characteristics for high-frequency data transmission and improved pair shielding to reduce crosstalk. Its slim profile and flexible TPE jacket make routing in confined spaces and cable management easier while maintaining mechanical robustness. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance conductivity and corrosion resistance for stable network connections. The halogen-free material reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire, aligning with safety considerations for installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed data center interconnects and short-distance server links
• Backbone and switch-to-switch connections within enterprise networks
• Office wiring where a slim, flexible cable is required for neat cable runs
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is important

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1
• Cable type: U/FTP (overall unshielded, each pair foil-shielded)
• Length: 10 m
• Connector: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: TPE, halogen-free
• Color: Grey
• Slim, low-profile design for tight routing

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the slim cable along cable trays or under desks as needed, avoiding sharp bends and prolonged compression. For best performance, keep the cable length within the specified 10 m and separate it from strong electrical noise sources where possible.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.8.1 patch cable for short to medium runs where high bandwidth and reduced interference are required. Avoid kinking, excessive tension, and exposure to temperatures beyond the TPE jacket specification. For permanent in-wall installation, verify local fire codes and suitability of halogen-free TPE for the intended installation method.
