InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free white 1m

The InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free white 1m is a 1-meter flat patch cable designed for high-speed network connections that comply with Cat.8.1 performance requirements. Constructed with U/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and provides stable conductivity for short-distance, high-frequency data transmission. The outer sheath is made from halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), offering improved safety and lower environmental impact compared with halogen-containing materials.

Advantages

The flat cable profile eases routing in tight spaces and under carpets or along walls while maintaining signal integrity. U/FTP shielding provides individual foil around twisted pairs plus an overall drain, which reduces crosstalk and external noise in dense installation environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors promote reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The halogen-free TPE jacket reduces toxic gas emission in case of fire and supports installations where low-smoke, low-toxicity materials are required.

Suitable for

• High-speed short-range data links in server rooms and data centers
• Home and office Ethernet connections requiring Cat.8.1 performance
• Installations with limited cable bend space or where a flat profile is preferred
• Environments where halogen-free materials and reduced emissions are desired

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device such as a switch, router or NIC, and the other plug to the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks for secure engagement. Route the flat cable along the desired path, avoiding sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress. For permanent installations, verify that the cable is not pinched by furniture or doors and maintain bend radii recommended for flat cables to preserve signal performance.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this cable for short-range, high-frequency links up to 1 meter and avoid tight folding or twisting. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and ensure connectors remain clean and undamaged. When used in professional network environments, test link speed and signal integrity after installation to confirm Cat.8.1 performance.
