InLine Patch cable slim, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogen-free, white 0.25m

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free white 0.25m is a short, high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed data connections in compact installations. It uses U/FTP shielding to minimize crosstalk and electromagnetic interference and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for consistent contact quality. The halogen-free TPE jacket provides mechanical flexibility and improved safety in environments where reduced smoke and toxic gas emission are required.

Advantages

This slim Cat.8.1 patch cable offers a combination of advanced shielding, compact length, and flexible halogen-free TPE construction. U/FTP shielding enhances signal integrity in dense cable environments, while gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce oxidation and maintain low contact resistance. The short 0.25 m length is suitable for patching within racks, between adjacent devices, or in patch panels where minimal cable slack is preferred. The white jacket supports discreet installation and easy visual identification.

Suitable for

• Short links between switches, patch panels and servers in data cabinets
• High-speed point-to-point connections in network racks
• Environments requiring halogen-free cabling for safety
• Installations where reduced electromagnetic interference is important

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1 U/FTP (foiled with overall braid)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE
• Colour: White

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of the source device and the other RJ-45 connector to the destination device or patch panel. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted and the locking tab clicks into place to secure the connection. Use the cable for short, direct patching runs only; avoid excessive bending or sharp kinks to preserve shield continuity and internal conductor geometry.

Recommendations

For best performance, route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and strong electromagnetic sources. Maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius and avoid stretching the cable; when used in dense rack environments, label each end for easy identification and use cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.
