InLine Patchkabel plat, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogeenvrij, grijs, 2m

The InLine Patch Cable Flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE Halogen-Free Grey 2m is a flat, high-performance Ethernet cable engineered for short-range, high-speed data connections. It uses U/FTP Cat.8.1 construction and high-quality materials to support reliable signal transmission. The cable is 2 metres long and terminated with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends, while the halogen-free TPE jacket provides mechanical flexibility and reduced environmental risk compared with halogen-containing compounds. Its slim, flat profile is intended for routing in narrow gaps and under carpets or along skirting boards where space is limited.

Advantages

The flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 design reduces cable bulk and eases installation in confined spaces while maintaining shielding to minimise crosstalk and external interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and reduce oxidation-related signal degradation. The halogen-free TPE outer material increases durability and lowers potential toxic gas emissions in case of fire. The 2 m length balances reach and signal integrity for patching between network equipment in offices, server cabinets and home setups.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN patching between switches, routers and wall outlets
• Short connection runs in offices, server rooms and home networks
• Installation in tight or low-clearance paths such as under carpets and along skirting boards
• Environments where halogen-free materials are required for safety or regulatory reasons

Key specifications

• Cable category: U/FTP Cat.8.1 suitable for very high bandwidth applications
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)
• Form factor: flat profile for reduced height and flexible routing
• Colour: grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of the source device and the other plug to the destination device or network outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure reliable contact. Route the flat cable along edges, under carpets or inside cable channels to minimise trip hazards and mechanical stress; avoid tight sharp bends at the connector ends. For rack or cabinet use, allow gentle curves rather than acute angles to preserve cable geometry and shielding performance.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this U/FTP Cat.8.1 flat patch cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth links and avoid bundling it tightly with large power cables to reduce potential interference. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace if contact pins are bent or housing is cracked. Keep within manufacturer-recommended bend radius (gentle curves) and avoid subjecting the cable to excessive tensile force when routing or securing.
