Câble patch plat InLine, U/FTP, Cat.6A, noir, 5 m

The InLine Flat patch cable U/FTP Cat.6A black 5m is a 5-metre network cable engineered for high-speed Ethernet connections where space is limited. Its U/FTP shielding (overall foil with individually foiled pairs) reduces crosstalk and protects signals from external electromagnetic interference, supporting reliable data transmission for demanding network environments. The flat profile simplifies routing under carpets, along skirting boards or through narrow conduits while the black jacket provides a discreet finish for home or office installations.

Advantages

This Cat.6A flat patch cable combines enhanced shielding and a slim, flexible design to deliver stable performance in congested cabling scenarios. The U/FTP construction improves pair-to-pair isolation and reduces susceptibility to external noise compared with unshielded alternatives. The 5 m length covers typical distances between wall outlets, switches and devices without excess slack, and the rugged outer jacket increases durability for repeated handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in home and small office networks
• High-speed Ethernet applications up to 10 Gbps where Cat6A performance is required
• Routing along skirting boards, under carpets or through narrow cable channels
• Temporary setups for events, test benches or equipment relocation

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall foil with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Conductor type: stranded copper (flexible for patch applications)
• Jacket colour: black
• Design: flat profile for low-profile routing

How to use

Connect one end of the flat patch cable to the RJ45 port of your networking device and the other end to the corresponding port on a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure connection. When routing the cable, follow room contours and avoid sharp bends; the flat profile allows it to sit neatly under carpets or along skirting boards. For permanent installations, verify link speed and signal integrity after installation using network diagnostics or a cable tester.

Recommendations

To maintain optimal performance, avoid tight bends and prolonged compression under heavy furniture. Keep the cable away from high-power sources that may introduce electromagnetic interference, and choose shielded terminations and grounded equipment if the installation environment requires enhanced protection.
