InLine Λεπτό καλώδιο patch, U/FTP, Cat.8.1, TPE χωρίς αλογόνα, λευκό 5 m

The InLine Patch cable slim U/FTP Cat.8.1 TPE halogen-free white 5m is a high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for demanding network environments. Its U/FTP shielding and Category 8.1 specification support very high data rates and reduced crosstalk, while slim construction and a flexible halogen-free TPE jacket make routing and installation in confined spaces easier. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

This patch cable combines Category 8.1 performance with U/FTP shielding to provide improved noise immunity and stable high-speed transmission. The slim profile reduces bulk in cable ducts and behind equipment, and the halogen-free TPE jacket is resistant to wear while meeting safety considerations for installations where low smoke and non-halogen materials are required. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance contact quality and reduce the risk of oxidation over time.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centers and server cabinets where Category 8.1 performance is required
• Short-run connections between switches, patch panels and network devices (5 m)
• Dense cabling environments or wall-mounted installations that benefit from a slim cable profile
• Installations requiring halogen-free cabling for safety or regulatory reasons

When it may not be suitable

This 5 m Cat.8.1 patch cable is optimized for short interconnects and may not be appropriate for long-distance backbone runs or outdoor installations. Cat.8.1 cables are primarily intended for very high-frequency, short-range applications; for standard home or office networks with longer horizontal runs, lower category cables may be more cost-effective.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)
• Colour: White

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your switch, router or patch panel and the other end to the target device following standard Ethernet wiring practice. Avoid sharp bends and compressive stress on the slim cable to preserve shielding integrity and transmission performance. For best results, keep the cable length within 5 m and route separately from high-power electrical lines to minimize potential interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 5 m cable length fits your planned installation and rack or cabinet layout
• Verify that Cat.8.1 performance and U/FTP shielding are required for your equipment and application
• Ensure RJ-45 connectivity is compatible with your devices (standard 8P8C ports)
• Consider whether a slim profile and halogen-free jacket are needed for space or safety constraints

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this slim Cat.8.1 patch cable for short interconnects in data center top-of-rack or switch-to-patch-panel scenarios, maintain gentle bend radii, and keep the cable away from sources of strong electrical noise.
