Câble patch plat InLine, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE sans halogène, gris, 0,3 m

The InLine Patch cable flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free grey 0.3m is a short, high-performance network cable designed for professional Ethernet connections where space is limited. Compliant with Cat.8.1 performance parameters, the cable uses U/FTP shielding around individual pairs to reduce crosstalk and external interference. The flat profile and compact length make it suitable for tidy routing behind patch panels, under desks, or in shallow cable channels. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to support reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The outer jacket is made of halogen-free TPE, offering increased safety and durability in confined or public spaces.

Advantages

The flat U/FTP design delivers improved noise immunity compared with unshielded cables, while the Cat.8.1 specification supports very high data rates for short-reach applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure stable connectivity and reduced contact resistance. The halogen-free TPE jacket provides mechanical flexibility and lowers the risk of toxic fumes in the event of a fire, meeting requirements in sensitive installations. The 0.3 m length minimizes slack and helps maintain tidy cable management in dense networking environments.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels in data cabinets
• Connecting devices in shallow cable trays or under desks where a flat profile is advantageous
• High-speed short-reach links in server rooms and telecommunication closets
• Installation scenarios requiring halogen-free cabling for safety regulations

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of your switch, router, or patch panel and the other end to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. The short 0.3 m length is intended for direct patching; avoid excessive bending at the connector heads and route the flat cable along edges or under furniture to reduce strain. If used inside cabinets, keep the cable clear of moving parts and sharp edges to prevent damage to the jacket or conductors.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat.8.1 flat patch cable for short, high-speed links up to its recommended reach and avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines. Inspect connector contacts occasionally for dirt or oxidation and replace the cable if the jacket shows cuts or severe abrasion. Store in a dry environment and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve the TPE jacket.
