Patch cable InLine Cat.8.1 U/FTP slim, TPE halogen-free, RJ-45–RJ-45, 0.25 m, grey

Compact InLine slim patch cable Cat.8.1 with U/FTP shielding provides a short, high-performance connection between network devices. With individually foil‑shielded twisted pairs (U/FTP) and gold‑plated RJ‑45 connectors on both ends, this 0.25 m cable supports high bandwidth and minimizes crosstalk and external interference. The halogen‑free TPE jacket in grey offers a flexible, low‑smoke, flame‑retardant exterior suitable for use in equipment racks, patch panels and densely populated network cabinets where space is limited.

Advantages

The U/FTP construction ensures enhanced protection against near‑end crosstalk and electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded or overall‑shielded cables, improving signal integrity for high‑speed Ethernet. The slim design and short 0.25 m length reduce cable clutter and enable tidy cable management in server racks and patch panels. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts provide reliable connectivity and corrosion resistance, while the halogen‑free TPE jacket reduces toxic gas emissions in case of fire and remains flexible at typical installation temperatures.

Suitable for

• Short interconnects between switches, patch panels and servers within racks
• High‑speed Ethernet links requiring reduced EMI and crosstalk
• Spaces with limited clearance where slim, low‑profile cables are needed
• Environments preferring halogen‑free cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

How to use

Insert RJ‑45 connectors into the Ethernet ports of your devices until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use this 0.25 m patch cable for direct short links between equipment in the same rack or adjacent racks to maintain high signal quality and minimize clutter. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius to preserve cable integrity and shielding effectiveness. For installations within cabinets, route the cable along cable management channels or patch panel guides to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 U/FTP slim cable for short, high‑frequency links where shielding is required. Avoid routing alongside high‑power mains cables to further reduce potential electromagnetic interference and periodically check connector seating in high‑vibration environments.
