InLine Patch cable slim, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogen-free, white 3m

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free white 3m is a 3-metre network patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Constructed with U/FTP shielding and Cat.8.1 specification, this slim cable is intended to deliver improved protection against crosstalk and electromagnetic interference while maintaining a compact, flexible profile. The cable jacket is made from halogen-free TPE, and both ends are terminated with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer. The white finish provides a discreet appearance for home offices, server rooms, or visible installations.

Advantages

The U/FTP Cat.8.1 construction provides enhanced noise immunity and supports higher frequency ranges compared with lower category cables. The slim, flexible design reduces routing space and eases installation in tight conduits or patch panels. Halogen-free TPE material improves safety in confined spaces by reducing harmful gas emission in case of fire and offers durable mechanical properties. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure stable electrical contact and resistance to corrosion for consistent performance over time.

Suitable for

• High-speed local area network (LAN) connections requiring Cat.8.1 performance
• Patch panels and switch ports in data centres and server rooms
• Workspace and home office wiring where a low-profile cable is needed
• Environments where halogen-free materials are preferred for safety

• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE
• Colour: White
• Form factor: Slim/flexible design for space-saving routing

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (router, switch or NIC) and the other end to the patch panel or destination device. Ensure both connector plugs are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable along existing cable runs or through cable management channels to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer's recommended bend radius to preserve performance. For best results, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances to minimise electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

Use the InLine Cat.8.1 slim patch cable where high bandwidth and minimal interference are required. Verify compatibility of connected equipment with Cat.8.1 performance levels and maintain proper cable management to ensure signal integrity and longevity.
