Outdoor patch cable Brackton CAT 6a S/FTP RJ45–RJ45 50 m black

Outdoor Brackton CAT 6a S/FTP RJ45–RJ45 50 m black is a 50 metre patch cable built to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over Cat6a standard. The cable features S/FTP shielding — each pair is foil‑shielded and the whole cable has an overall braid — to reduce electromagnetic interference in outdoor and exposed installations. Both ends are terminated with RJ45 male connectors and the black UV‑resistant jacket provides protection against weather and sunlight for linking network devices across short outdoor distances.

Advantages

The Brackton CAT 6a S/FTP cable delivers 10 Gigabit performance with improved noise immunity due to pair and overall shielding. Its robust outer jacket is designed for outdoor use and resists UV degradation and moisture for reliable links. Pre‑terminated RJ45 connectors simplify installation and the 50 m length covers typical spans between buildings, network cabinets and surveillance points. The cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and provides stable throughput for bandwidth‑intensive applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches or routers between nearby buildings
• Outdoor CCTV camera links and surveillance systems
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as access points and cameras
• Temporary or permanent external network runs exposed to weather

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (10 Gigabit Ethernet capable)
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil around each pair + overall braided shield)
• Connector type: RJ45 male – RJ45 male
• Length: 50 m
• Jacket color and type: black, UV‑resistant outdoor jacket
• Suitable for outdoor/exposed installation and PoE applications

How to use

Route the cable between termination points, avoiding sharp bends and areas of mechanical stress. Ensure both RJ45 connectors are fully inserted into compatible ports on switches, routers or PoE devices. When running outdoors, secure the cable with appropriate clamps or ties and use protective conduits or channels where additional mechanical protection is required. Verify link speed and PoE operation after installation and test the connection with network diagnostic tools if needed.

Usage recommendations

For long‑term outdoor installations, combine the cable with weatherproof junction boxes at termination points and maintain a minimum bend radius of four times the cable diameter. Avoid running the cable parallel to high‑power electrical lines to minimise interference despite shielding. Regularly inspect exposed sections for physical damage and replace the cable if the jacket shows signs of deterioration.
