InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free black 1.5m

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free black 1.5m is a 1.5 meter slim patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in modern network environments. Constructed to Cat.8.1 specifications with U/FTP shielding and halogen‑free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket material, this cable is intended to deliver reliable connections between network devices while minimizing interference and meeting safety considerations in confined or sensitive installations. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure stable contact and corrosion resistance for prolonged use.

Advantages

The slim profile reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in densely cabled racks and workstations while maintaining the electrical performance required for high-frequency signals. U/FTP shielding around individual pairs reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, supporting clearer signal transmission at higher bandwidths. The halogen-free TPE jacket offers increased safety in environments where reduced toxic emissions are preferred, and gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and longevity.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections in server rooms and data centers
• Desk-to-switch patching where space and cable management are important
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling materials
• Applications requiring reduced interference and stable high-frequency performance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1 performance class
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE
• Colour: black
• Slim cable profile for improved routing and space efficiency

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your source device and the other connector into the target device or network switch. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a solid mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for slim patch cables to preserve signal integrity. For permanent installations, verify port compatibility and test link performance after installation with appropriate network testing tools.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth interconnections such as switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links within racks or between nearby devices. Avoid exposing the cable to direct sunlight, high temperatures, or chemicals that can degrade TPE. For best performance, avoid running parallel to high-power electrical lines and keep separation from potential sources of electromagnetic interference.
