Câble patch InLine fin, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE sans halogène, gris 3 m

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free grey 3m is a 3 metre network patch cable built for high-speed data transmission in modern LAN environments. It uses U/FTP Cat.8.1 twisted pair construction and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain reliable signal integrity across short to medium patching runs. The outer jacket is made from halogen-free TPE, combining mechanical flexibility with improved safety characteristics for indoor use.

Advantages

This slim patch cable provides enhanced shielding through U/FTP Cat.8.1 design to minimise crosstalk and external interference, supporting high bandwidth requirements. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent electrical contact and reduced corrosion over time. The halogen-free TPE jacket offers a flexible, durable sheath that reduces toxic gas emission in case of fire and is suitable for confined installation spaces. The slim profile facilitates neat cable management and better airflow in dense rack or patch panel setups.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections in server rooms and data centres
• Patch panels, switches and network outlets requiring Cat.8.1 cabling
• Short-distance backbone links and workstation patching
• Environments where low-smoke, halogen-free materials are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: U/FTP Cat.8.1
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: Halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)
• Colour: Grey
• Form factor: Slim/low-profile patch cable

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router, or network outlet) and the other to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to guarantee secure mechanical and electrical contact. Avoid tight bends near the connector ends and maintain a bend radius appropriate for slim cables to prevent signal degradation. For best performance, use the cable for links within the recommended distance for Cat.8.1 patching and in properly grounded, shielded installations.

Recommendations

Use the cable indoors in controlled environments; avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For installations in high-interference areas, ensure proper grounding of shielded components and route the cable separately from high-voltage power lines. Periodically inspect connectors for dirt or damage and replace the cable if mechanical wear affects performance.
