Outdoor Patch Cable Brackton Cat6a S/FTP 40m RJ45 to RJ45 Black

Brackton Outdoor Patch Cable Cat6a S/FTP 40m is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for outdoor use and long cable runs. The cable features a S/FTP shielding scheme and RJ45 (male) connectors on both ends, supporting standard Cat6a performance for high‑speed Ethernet applications up to 10 Gigabit. The outer jacket is built to withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining signal integrity over the full 40 metre length. A two‑year warranty is included.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield and individually shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, which helps preserve throughput in noisy environments. The 40 m length allows flexible deployment between buildings, cabinets, or outdoor devices without intermediate splices. RJ45 connectors on both ends provide plug‑and‑play compatibility with standard networking equipment and ensure consistent Cat6a performance for structured cabling installations.

Suitable for

• Outdoor Ethernet links between network devices and access points
• Long runs to network cabinets, switches or POE devices
• High‑speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in EMI‑prone environments
• Temporary or semi‑permanent site networking where a shielded outdoor cable is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil plus individually shielded twisted pairs
• Length: 40 metres
• Connectors: RJ45 (male) on both ends
• Supported speeds: Up to 10 Gbps over appropriate link lengths
• Use environment: Outdoor‑rated jacket for external installations

How to use

Route the Brackton Outdoor Patch Cable along the desired path, avoiding sharp bends and contact with sources of excessive heat or mechanical stress. Connect the RJ45 plugs to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices, switches, or PoE equipment. Ensure proper grounding practices and shield terminations where required by your installation standards to benefit from the S/FTP shielding. For outdoor installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or conduits and protect exposed connectors from direct moisture and UV when necessary.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance, keep total channel length and intermediate connections within Cat6a structured cabling guidelines. When installing in high EMI areas or where grounding is available, terminate shields correctly and verify continuity. Use weatherproof boots or enclosures for exposed RJ45 connections to extend service life outdoors.
