InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free grey 0.3m

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free grey 0.3m is a short, high-performance Ethernet patch lead engineered for demanding network environments. Built to Cat.8.1 standards with U/FTP shielding and premium RJ-45 connectors, this 0.3 m cable is intended for use where minimal signal loss and compact routing are required. The halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket provides improved safety in case of fire and long-term durability while the slim design allows for neat cable management in patch panels, switches and densely packed racks.

Advantages

U/FTP shielding around each twisted pair reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for stable high-speed transmission. The RJ-45 plugs feature gold-plated contacts that ensure reliable contact and low contact resistance. The halogen-free TPE outer sheath combines flexibility with resistance to abrasion and oils, and the short 0.3 m length minimizes excess cable slack, improving airflow and tidiness in network cabinets.

Suitable for

• Connecting network equipment in server rooms and data centers where short patch connections are required
• High-speed links between switches, routers and patch panels in dense rack environments
• Laboratory and testing setups that require stable, low-latency connections over short distances
• Home or office installations needing a neat short cable for connecting devices positioned close together

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall jacket with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Conductor material: stranded copper (flexible patch cable)
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks. Use this patch cable for short connections between adjacent ports on switches, patch panels or network devices. Avoid sharp bends and high tensile stress; route the cable with gentle curves and secure it with cable management accessories when grouping multiple cables. For optimal performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and do not exceed its intended bend radius.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Cat.8.1 performance, use this slim U/FTP patch cable for short indoor connections up to 0.3 m only. Pair it with compatible shielded equipment and properly grounded patch panels or racks to maintain the effectiveness of the shielding. Regularly inspect connectors for contamination and replace the cable if the outer jacket or plug latch is damaged.
