InLine 71800S Flat Patch Cable U/FTP Cat.6A 10m Black

The InLine Flat Patch Cable U/FTP Cat.6A InLine 71800S 10m Black is a 10 meter flat Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission in environments where space-saving routing and reliable shielding are required. The cable uses U/FTP (foil-shielded pairs) construction and terminated RJ-45 connectors on both ends, offering performance consistent with Category 6A cabling for gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications over appropriate distances. The flat profile makes the cable easier to run under carpets, along skirting boards or through narrow gaps while maintaining a professional black finish.

Advantages

The U/FTP shielding around each twisted pair reduces near-end crosstalk and provides additional protection against EMI compared with unshielded cables, improving signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The flat design allows for discreet installation in confined pathways and simplifies cable management. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with common networking equipment and simplify deployment in home and office networks.

Suitable for

• Home and small office Ethernet connections
• Desk-to-switch or patch-panel cabling where flat routing is preferred
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference requiring shielded pairs
• Temporary or permanent installations where a low-profile cable is needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: Flat patch cable with U/FTP (foil-shielded twisted pairs)
• Category: Cat.6A performance class
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (for example a computer, switch or router) and the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the flat cable along skirting boards, under carpets or through cable channels as required; avoid sharp bends and do not crease the cable repeatedly to maintain performance. For shield effectiveness, if connected to shielded equipment or a patch panel with grounding, ensure proper grounding of the cable shield where applicable.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.6A flat U/FTP cable in combination with Cat.6A-rated connectors and network equipment. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for extended distances to minimise potential interference, and maintain gentle bend radii to preserve transmission characteristics.
