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

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free grey 7.5m is a high-performance network patch cable designed for demanding data transmission environments. Built to Cat.8.1 standards, this slim cable combines U/FTP shielding with halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) insulation to provide reliable signal integrity and improved safety. The 7.5 m length and slim profile make it suitable for structured cabling runs and patching in racks, cabinets and office wiring where space is limited.

Advantages

The U/FTP shielding (overall braid with individually foiled pairs) reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, supporting stable high-frequency performance. The halogen-free TPE jacket offers increased fire safety by emitting minimal corrosive gases if exposed to heat, and the slim design improves cable management and airflow in dense installations. Standard RJ-45 connectors at both ends provide broad compatibility with network devices that accept Cat.8.1 cabling.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centers and server room patching
• Backbone connections in enterprise and campus networks
• Office and telecommunications racks with limited space
• Shielded network segments requiring reduced EMI

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plug at one end to the network port of a switch, patch panel or network device and the RJ-45 plug at the other end to the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the slim cable along cable trays, patch panels or through cable management channels to minimise bends and avoid tight kinks. Maintain appropriate separation from high-power cabling and strong EMI sources where possible to preserve shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid excessive bending and sharp folds; follow recommended minimum bend radius for slim patch cables. Use this U/FTP Cat.8.1 cable in shielded or grounded installations when possible to realise full EMI protection. Store and install at normal indoor temperatures and handle connectors carefully to prevent damage to the plug latch and contacts.
