InLine patchkabel slank, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogeenvrij, zwart 5 m

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free black 5m is a slim, 5-metre patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in modern network environments. Constructed with U/FTP shielding and Cat.8.1 performance characteristics, this cable supports demanding Ethernet applications. The outer jacket is made of halogen-free TPE for improved safety and durability, and the connectors are fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 plugs to ensure reliable contact and reduced corrosion.

Advantages

The U/FTP construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, supporting stable, high-frequency signals over short runs. The slim design minimizes cable bulk and eases routing in dense installations or limited spaces. The halogen-free TPE jacket provides enhanced fire safety properties and mechanical resilience, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors deliver consistent conductivity and long-term connection quality.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links in data centres and server rooms
• Patch panels and network switches where high bandwidth is required
• Office and home networks with space-constrained cable management
• Short-distance connections for 40G/25G/10G-capable equipment where Cat.8.1 is applicable

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one gold-plated RJ-45 connector to the network device and the other to the target port, ensuring a secure latch on both ends. Route the slim cable through cable management channels or along trays to minimize bending stress; avoid sharp bends and kinks to maintain signal integrity. For optimal performance, use this Cat.8.1 cable for short, high-bandwidth links between compatible equipment and avoid running it in parallel with strong power lines to reduce potential interference.

Recommendations

Inspect connectors before installation to ensure clean contacts. Maintain bend radius according to typical Cat. cabling best practices and avoid excessive mechanical strain. Use the slim form factor to optimise space in patch panels and racks, and store unused cable lengths coiled without tight loops.
