InLine Flat Patch Cable, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE Halogen-Free, White, 1.5m

The InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free white 1.5m is a slim network patch lead manufactured for high-speed wired connections. It supports the Cat.8.1 standard and uses U/FTP shielding to minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The cable jacket is made from halogen-free TPE for improved safety and flexibility, while both RJ-45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. Its flat profile and white finish make the cable suitable for installations where space is limited or where a discreet appearance is required.

Advantages

This flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 cable delivers high bandwidth and low latency performance suitable for demanding network applications. The braided and foil shielding configuration reduces near-end and far-end crosstalk and increases immunity to outside interference. A halogen-free TPE jacket offers enhanced flame safety and lower toxic emissions compared with halogenated compounds. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable electrical contact over repeated insertions. The flat design improves cable management under carpets, along skirting boards, or behind furniture.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections in data centres, server rooms, and professional workstations
• Home or office LANs requiring Cat.8.1 performance in short runs
• Installations where a low-profile cable is needed for routing under carpets or along walls
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is important

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (router, switch, network card) and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Avoid sharp bends or crushing the flat cable; maintain gentle curves with a bending radius that does not stress the internal conductors. For optimal performance, keep the cable length appropriate to the application and avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.8.1 flat U/FTP cable for short, high-bandwidth links where space-saving routing is required. For permanent or high-density installations, verify connector seating and periodic inspection to prevent mechanical wear. Store the cable coiled loosely and avoid tight folds to preserve the flat profile and shielding integrity.
