InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.6A TPE halogen-free grey 0.5m

The InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.6A TPE halogen-free grey 0.5m is a short, flat Ethernet patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission in confined spaces. Constructed to Cat.6A standards with U/FTP shielding, this 0.5 m cable reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference while maintaining gigabit and 10 Gigabit-capable performance for short runs. The halogen-free TPE jacket improves safety and environmental friendliness, and the flat profile allows for neat routing under carpets, along walls, or behind equipment. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors for compatibility with networking devices, switches, routers and patch panels.

Advantages

The flat design minimizes bending radius and saves space in tight installations while facilitating discrete cable management. U/FTP shielding provides individual pair foil shielding plus an overall braid or foil to lower interference and improve signal integrity in environments with other cables or electronic equipment. The halogen-free TPE jacket resists wear and offers safer combustion properties compared to halogenated materials. Standard RJ-45 connectors ensure plug-and-play compatibility across a wide range of networking hardware.

Suitable for

• Short connections between patch panels and wall outlets in office and data center racks
• Desktop connections behind furniture or monitors where a flat profile is needed
• Home and small office networks requiring shielded Cat6A performance
• Environments where reduced interference and halogen-free materials are preferred

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other end into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel until the latch clicks. Verify the link status on connected devices to confirm a successful connection. Use the flat profile to route the cable along baseboards, under carpets or behind equipment to minimize visibility and tripping hazards. For best performance, avoid sharp bends or crushing of the cable and maintain separation from high-voltage power lines where possible.

Usage recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, keep runs short and avoid tightly coiling the cable. Use shielded patch panels and switches or properly grounded equipment when deploying U/FTP cables in areas with significant electromagnetic interference. Regularly inspect connectors for dust or damage and replace the cable if the jacket is compromised.
