InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free white 0.5m

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free white 0.5m is a short, high-performance network patch cable designed for demanding data transmission environments. It supports Category 8.1 performance, uses U/FTP shielding for improved crosstalk protection, and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transfer. The cable jacket is made of halogen-free TPE material, combining flexibility with increased safety in case of fire and resistance to aging during regular use.

Advantages

This slim Cat.8.1 patch cable provides high bandwidth and low latency suitable for modern LAN infrastructures. U/FTP shielding reduces interference between pairs and from external sources. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent electrical contact and corrosion resistance. The halogen-free TPE jacket offers flexibility for tight routing and improved safety characteristics compared with halogen-containing materials. The compact 0.5 m length minimizes cable clutter in patch panels and rack-mounted equipment.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections between switches, patch panels and servers in racks
• High-speed LAN connections requiring Cat.8.1 performance
• Environments where low-profile, flexible cabling is needed
• Installations that require halogen-free materials for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/FTP (individually shielded pairs with overall drain)
• Category: Cat.8.1
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)
• Colour: White

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and connect the other end to the target device or port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a stable connection. Use the 0.5 m length for short-distance links inside racks or between closely positioned devices to reduce excess cabling and maintain tidy installations. Avoid sharp bends at the connector strain relief and keep the cable clear of sources of mechanical abrasion.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 U/FTP cable for links within the same rack or adjacent racks, maintain bend radius recommendations for the TPE jacket, and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and store unused cables in a dry, moderate-temperature environment.
