Plochý patch kabel InLine, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE bez halogenů, šedý, 5m

The InLine Patch Cable Flat U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE Halogen-Free Grey 5m is a flat Ethernet cable engineered for high-speed data transmission across short to medium distances. Constructed to the Cat.8.1 standard with U/FTP shielding, this 5 meter cable reduces near-end crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference while maintaining a compact, low-profile form factor. The cable jacket is made from halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), offering improved safety in case of fire and meeting environmental considerations. Both ends terminate in standard RJ-45 connectors for compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices.

Advantages

The flat design simplifies routing in tight spaces and under raised floors, while U/FTP shielding provides pair-level foil coverage plus an overall drain/foil arrangement to lower signal degradation. Compliance with Cat.8.1 ensures support for higher frequencies and bandwidths typical of modern data center and professional networking setups. A halogen-free TPE jacket reduces toxic emissions in the event of combustion and delivers flexible handling for installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• High-speed local area network connections between switches and patch panels
• Short-range server or workstation cabling in data centers or server rooms
• Cabling in constrained routing paths such as cable trays, underfloor ducts, or wall channels
• Environments where halogen-free materials are preferred for safety or regulatory reasons

Key specifications

• Shielding: U/FTP (overall and pair foil with drain)
• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cable profile: flat
• Jacket material: halogen-free TPE
• Colour: grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and the other RJ-45 end to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully seated to engage the locking tab and verify link/activity LEDs on network hardware to confirm connectivity. Route the flat cable along surfaces or through constrained channels, avoiding sharp bends with radii smaller than the cable width to maintain signal integrity. For best results, keep the cable separated from strong power sources and large electromagnetic emitters.

Recommendations

Install the cable in dry, ventilated environments and avoid exposure to oils or solvents that may degrade the TPE jacket. When routing through cable management systems, secure the cable without excessive compression to preserve the flat profile and shielding effectiveness. For installations requiring longer runs or outdoor exposure, select cables specified for those environments.
