InLine platte patchkabel, U/FTP, Cat.6A, grijs, 5 m

This InLine Flat patch cable U/FTP Cat.6A grey 5m is a 5-metre networking cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. It features U/FTP shielding and Cat.6A performance characteristics, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a flat profile that facilitates routing along walls, under carpets or through narrow conduits. The grey jacket provides a neutral, professional appearance suitable for office and home environments.

Advantages

The U/FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference by pairing individually shielded twisted pairs under an overall foil, improving signal integrity in environments with nearby electronic equipment. Cat.6A support enables stable 10 Gbps data transmission over appropriate infrastructure. The flat design minimizes cable height, making it easier to conceal and route in tight spaces without bulky bends. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 plugs for broad compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within short to medium runs in offices and homes
• Patch connections between wall outlets, switches and patch panels
• Routing under carpets, along skirting boards or through shallow cable ducts
• Environments requiring reduced crosstalk and improved EMI protection

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Category 6A (Cat.6A)
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall foil with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shape: Flat profile for low-profile installation
• Color: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (for example a router, switch or modem) and the other plug to the destination device or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until a click is felt. When routing the flat cable, follow the intended path along baseboards, under carpets or through cable channels, avoiding sharp folds or tight bends that could stress the cable. For best performance, keep the cable length within recommended limits for Cat.6A installations and avoid running parallel along high-voltage power lines for extended distances.

Recommendations

For sustained 10 Gbps performance, use this Cat.6A cable in combination with other Cat.6A-compliant components and maintain proper installation practices to minimize interference. If the cable will be placed under heavy furniture or in areas with repeated foot traffic, consider protective cable covers or alternate routing to prevent compression damage.
