InLine patchkabel slimmad, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogenfri, grå 5 m

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free grey 5m is a 5-metre network patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in modern Ethernet installations. Constructed with Foiled Twisted Pair (U/FTP) shielding and halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket, the cable supports Cat.8.1 performance levels and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors plated with gold to ensure reliable signal contact and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

This slim patch cable offers high bandwidth capability suitable for demanding network environments while maintaining a compact, space-saving profile. The U/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in dense cabling setups. The halogen-free TPE jacket provides enhanced safety characteristics compared with halogenated materials and remains flexible for easy routing. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide low contact resistance and durable mating performance.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections in data centres and server rooms
• Backbone and horizontal cabling requiring Cat.8.1 performance
• Workspace connections where a slim, flexible cable profile is needed
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is important

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, patch panel, or NIC) and the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding port on the opposite device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid placing it near strong electrical noise sources to maintain signal quality. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.8.1 U/FTP slim patch cable for short runs up to 5 m where high-frequency performance and reduced interference are required. For optimal longevity and performance, avoid excessive bending radii, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines, and use compatible RJ-45 ports rated for high-speed Ethernet.
