InLine Patch cable slim, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogen-free, white 0.3m

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free white 0.3m is a short, high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for compact connections in networking setups. It supports Category 8.1 performance characteristics and uses U/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The cable jacket is made from halogen-free TPE for improved safety in confined spaces, and both ends are terminated with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

This slim patch cable offers a compact form factor suitable for tight spaces while maintaining high data-transfer capability consistent with Cat.8.1 specifications. U/FTP shielding around each pair enhances signal integrity in environments with potential interference. The halogen-free TPE jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire and provides flexible handling for cable routing. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent electrical contact and long-term reliability.

Suitable for

• Short runs between patch panels and switches in server racks
• Connecting network devices where space is limited, such as network cabinets and wall outlets
• High-speed data links requiring reduced interference and stable signal transmission
• Environments where halogen-free cabling is preferred for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1 performance level
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Cable length: 0.3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE

• Form factor: Slim/low-profile cable construction

How to use

Use the patch cable to connect Ethernet ports between devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and network-enabled equipment. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the device's Ethernet jack until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable so it is not subjected to sharp bends or crushing; the slim design facilitates neat cabling in dense rack or cabinet installations. For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference.

Recommendations

For optimal longevity and signal quality, avoid excessive bending radii and repeated flexing near the connector ends. Use this short-length Cat.8.1 patch cable in scenarios requiring minimal cable slack and where halogen-free materials are specified. Periodically inspect connector contacts for debris and ensure RJ-45 latches engage fully to maintain reliable network connections.
