InLine patchkabel plat, U/FTP, Cat.6A, TPE halogeenvrij, grijs, 7,5 m

The InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.6A TPE halogen-free grey 7.5m is a flat Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed networking. With Cat.6A compliance and U/FTP shielding, the cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance while minimizing crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The halogen-free TPE jacket provides a low-smoke, non-toxic alternative to PVC, while the slim flat profile helps save space and route the cable neatly along walls, under carpets or behind furniture. Standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with switches, routers, network interfaces and patch panels.

Advantages

The U/FTP construction reduces alien crosstalk and protects individual pairs with foil shielding for improved signal integrity at higher frequencies. Cat.6A specification ensures reliable transmission up to 500 MHz and suitable headroom for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper. The flat cable geometry makes installation in confined spaces easier and allows the cable to be routed discreetly in environments where round cables are impractical. The halogen-free TPE outer material lowers hazardous gas emission in case of fire and offers good flexibility and durability for repeated handling.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office and data center environments
• High-density patching and under-desk or along-wall cable routing
• Home or small-business networks requiring low-profile cable runs
• Environments where reduced smoke and halogen-free materials are preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A, up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall braid not present; individual pair foil)
• Conductor count and type: 4 twisted pairs, copper conductors
• Maximum frequency: up to 500 MHz (Cat.6A standard)
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)
• Cable profile: flat design for low-profile routing
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends (plugged, 8P8C)
• Color: grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (such as a switch, router or network interface) and the other RJ-45 connector to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For optimal performance, avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable near the connector ends and maintain separation from strong electrical noise sources where possible. When routing the cable under carpets or along walls, use gentle pressure and secure clips or adhesive channels suited for flat cable profiles.

Recommendations

For sustained 10 Gigabit performance, verify that connected equipment and infrastructure (switches, NICs, patch panels) support Cat.6A and 10GBase-T. Avoid sharp bends with a radius smaller than a few millimetres and do not exceed recommended pull forces during installation. In installations requiring fire-safety compliance, prefer halogen-free materials like the TPE jacket used here and follow local building codes for cable routing and fixation.
