InLine patchkabel flad, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogenfri, sort, 5 m

The InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free black 5m is a flat network patch cable constructed for high-speed data transmission over local and campus networks. It uses U/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external interference and is made from halogen-free TPE material for improved safety and lower environmental impact. The cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a 5 metre length that supports flexible routing in confined spaces while maintaining Cat.8.1 performance characteristics.

Advantages

The flat design enables low-profile installation under carpets, along walls, or through narrow cable channels without bulk. U/FTP shielding around individual pairs provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, supporting reliable high-frequency transmission. The halogen-free TPE jacket reduces toxic gas emissions in case of fire and adds mechanical flexibility for repeated bending. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with common networking equipment.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links in offices and data centres
• Structured cabling where flat profile eases concealment and routing
• Connections between switches, patch panels and wall outlets
• Environments requiring halogen-free cable materials for safety or compliance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding type: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually shielded pairs)
• Conductor arrangement: Four twisted pairs
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Black
• Length: 5 m

How to use

Route the flat patch cable along a planned path, keeping bends gentle to preserve the internal pair geometry. Plug RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding ports of network devices such as switches, routers, or patch panels until a secure latch engagement is felt. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid excessive tension on the cable during and after installation. For best performance, keep the cable clear of strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible.

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, use this Cat.8.1 U/FTP patch cable for short to medium runs up to the specified length and within structured cabling segments rated for high-frequency Ethernet. Avoid sharp bends, repeated heavy compression, and exposure to temperatures outside the manufacturer’s operational range. When deploying in fire-sensitive areas, the halogen-free jacket supports lower toxic emission concerns compared with halogenated alternatives.
