InLine patchkabel plat, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogeenvrij, wit, 0,5m

The InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free white 0.5m is a short, high-performance network cable engineered for environments that require reliable, high-speed Ethernet connections. It complies with Cat.8.1 channel characteristics and uses U/FTP shielding to minimise crosstalk and external interference. The flat design and 0.5 m length make it suitable for compact routing and tight spaces while RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts provide consistent electrical contact. The cable jacket is made from halogen-free TPE, offering increased safety in case of fire and long-term mechanical resistance.

Advantages

This cable combines U/FTP shielding and Cat.8.1 performance for reduced interference and high-frequency transmission capability. The flat profile simplifies installation in cable ducts, under carpets, or behind equipment where space is limited. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring stable signal transfer. The halogen-free TPE jacket offers a safer material option compared with halogen-containing compounds and provides flexibility and durability for repeated handling.

Suitable for

• Short runs between network devices in dense racks or desktop setups
• High-speed Ethernet links in data centres or server rooms requiring Cat.8.1 performance
• Routing in narrow or low-clearance paths such as underfloor channels and wall cavities
• Temporary connections in testing or diagnostic scenarios

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded pair with foil shield per pair)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE
• Colour: white
• Form factor: flat cable profile for space-saving routing

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, router, patch panel or network interface on a computer, and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the flat cable along the intended path, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. The short 0.5 m length is intended for direct point-to-point connections where minimal slack is required.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 U/FTP flat patch cable in short, high-speed links and avoid running parallel to strong electrical sources. Do not exceed the cable's bend radius or apply sustained mechanical stress. Inspect connectors for dirt or damage before use and replace the cable if insulation or shielding is compromised.
