InLine lattaverkkokaapeli, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE halogeeniton, harmaa, 1,5 m

The InLine Patch Cable Flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE Halogen-Free Grey 1.5m is a flat Ethernet patch cable engineered for high-speed network connections in confined or space-sensitive environments. Built to Cat.8.1 specifications with U/FTP shielding, the cable minimises crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts ensure stable signal transfer and reliable conductivity, while the halogen-free TPE jacket provides mechanical flexibility and safer materials in case of fire. With a 1.5 m length and low-profile flat design, this grey cable fits neatly along walls, under carpets, or behind furniture without creating bulky cable runs.

Advantages

The flat profile reduces bending radius issues and helps route the cable through narrow gaps and cable channels. U/FTP shielding around individual pairs combined with overall foil improves protection against near-end crosstalk and external noise sources, supporting consistent high-speed performance. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs promote corrosion resistance and reliable contact over repeated insertions. The halogen-free TPE outer material increases flexibility and lowers toxic emissions compared to standard PVC in the event of combustion.

Suitable for

• High-speed local area networks requiring Cat.8.1 performance
• Office and home environments with limited cable space
• Connections between switches, routers, patch panels, and high-performance NICs
• Installations where low-profile routing under carpets or along skirting boards is needed

How to use

Uncoil the flat patch cable and align the RJ-45 connectors with the ports on your networking devices. Insert each connector until the latch clicks to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical connection. For best performance, avoid sharp folds or kinks in the cable and maintain gentle curves when routing through tight spaces. When running the cable under carpets or along skirting boards, press it flat to minimise visibility and reduce trip hazards. Disconnect by pressing the RJ-45 latch and pulling straight out to prevent connector damage.

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, keep the cable separated from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as power cables and large transformers. Use the flat form factor to route the cable where round cables cannot fit, but avoid placing heavy objects on top of the cable that could deform conductors. Periodically inspect connector ends for dust or debris and clean gently with compressed air if necessary.
