InLine Flat Ultra-Slim Patch Cable U/UTP Cat.6 Gigabit-Capable Grey 3m

The InLine Flat Ultraslim Patch Cable U/UTP Cat.6 Gigabit ready grey 3m is a 3-meter, ultra-flat Cat.6 patch cable without U/UTP shielding designed for LAN data networks. It features four twisted pairs in a low-profile 1 mm cable body that allows discreet installation behind furniture, along skirtings, door jambs or under carpets. The cable is suitable for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet connections between switches, routers, hubs, network cards, print servers and other active or passive network devices, and its slim profile also supports improved airflow and easier cable access inside server racks.

Advantages

The flat, 1 mm profile enables installation in very tight or concealed spaces while maintaining Cat.6 performance for reliable data transmission. Being U/UTP (unshielded) reduces stiffness and cost compared with shielded alternatives, and the 3 m length and grey colour make it appropriate for typical home and office setups. Its design helps preserve air circulation in racks, which can contribute to better heat dissipation around networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and hubs in home or office networks
• Patch connections to network cards and print servers
• Installations behind furniture, under carpets or along skirting boards
• Use inside network racks where low-profile cabling is required

How to use

Route the flat patch cable between devices ensuring the RJ45 connectors are securely inserted into the respective ports on switches, routers, hubs or network cards. For concealed installations, press the cable into gaps behind skirting boards, along furniture edges or under carpets; avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. When used inside a rack, lay the cable along cable management channels or behind equipment to preserve airflow and maintain easy port access.

Recommendations

Do not exceed the recommended bending radius or apply heavy loads on the ultra-flat cable; avoid exposure to liquids and direct sunlight. For environments with high electromagnetic interference or where grounding is required, consider a shielded cable alternative instead of U/UTP.
