InLine flat patchkabel, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogenfri, grå, 0,25 m

The InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free grey 0.25m is a short, flat network patch lead engineered for high-speed data transmission in confined spaces. Compliant with Cat.8.1 specifications, this cable uses individually shielded pairs (U/FTP) to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The halogen-free TPE jacket provides mechanical flexibility and increased safety in case of fire, while the flat profile allows for easy routing under carpets, along skirting boards, or through narrow cable channels. Both ends terminate in gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable electrical contact and minimal signal loss.

Advantages

The U/FTP shielding for each twisted pair improves signal integrity and reduces susceptibility to external noise sources, making the cable suitable for high-bandwidth links. The Cat.8.1 rating supports very high-frequency performance required by modern network equipment. The flat design minimizes space usage and simplifies cable management in tight installations. Constructed from halogen-free TPE, the jacket combines flexibility with reduced toxic emissions compared to standard materials. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance over time.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network ports in server racks and patch panels
• Connections behind wall-mounted switches or routers where space is limited
• High-speed links for 10 Gbps and above in data center and professional network environments
• Temporary or permanent cabling under floor coverings or along narrow conduits

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the source device and the other RJ-45 plug to the target port, ensuring a firm insertion until the latch clicks. Route the flat cable along the desired path, taking advantage of the low-profile design for placement under carpets, along skirting boards, or through narrow spaces. Avoid tight bending radii and repeated sharp folds to maintain cable performance. For rack or patch-panel use, place the cable so it does not obstruct airflow or other equipment access.

Recommendations

The cable is intended for short-distance, high-performance patching. For best results, use this Cat.8.1 U/FTP cable for direct connections within racks or between adjacent network devices. Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended bend radius, and avoid exposure to extreme heat or mechanical compression to preserve shielding effectiveness and connector integrity.
