InLine Patchkabel plat, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogeenvrij, zwart, 1,5m

The InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free black 1.5m is a flat Ethernet patch cord engineered for high-speed network connections up to Category 8.1 performance. With a 1.5 m length and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable uses U/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The connectors feature gold plating for reliable contact and improved conductivity. The jacket and insulation are made from halogen-free TPE, combining flexibility with flame-retardant, low-smoke properties suitable for environments where reduced toxic emissions are required.

Advantages

The flat design allows the cable to fit under carpets and along skirting boards while maintaining signal integrity. U/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against external interference compared with unshielded alternatives, supporting stable high-speed data transfer. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve long-term connection reliability and reduce oxidation-related signal loss. Halogen-free TPE construction offers mechanical flexibility and safer behavior in case of fire, with reduced corrosive and toxic gas emissions.

Suitable for

• Short-distance high-speed connections between network equipment (switches, routers, patch panels)
• Home and office workstations where space-saving flat cables are preferred
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling materials
• Structured cabling segments conforming to Cat.8.1 performance needs

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Outer material: halogen-free TPE jacket
• Colour: Black
• Form factor: flat cable profile for low-profile routing

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of your switch, router, patch panel or device and the other end to the corresponding port on the receiving device. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the physical connection. Route the flat cable along skirting boards, under carpets or through cable channels as needed, avoiding sharp bends with radii smaller than the cable thickness. For optimal performance, keep the cable separate from high-power electrical lines and avoid excessive mechanical stress at connector junctions.

Recommendations

For stable Cat.8.1 performance, use the cable for short runs up to the recommended distances for the specific application and maintain separation from high-voltage cabling. Periodically inspect connector contacts for dirt or damage and avoid repeated extreme bending near the connector to prolong service life.
