Patch cable DELTACO S/FTP Cat6a, 5 m, IP68 rated waterproof with PG13.5 gland, black

DELTACO S/FTP Cat6a patch cable, 5 m, is designed to provide reliable high-speed Ethernet connectivity with elevated protection against electromagnetic interference and moisture ingress. The cable implements S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually foil-shielded pairs) to support Cat6a performance, while the IP68-rated construction and integrated PG13.5 gland ensure a sealed connection for outdoor, industrial, or marine environments. The black jacket offers a discreet appearance and resistance to environmental exposure.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference for stable data transmission at Cat6a speeds. The IP68 rating confirms dust-tight construction and continuous immersion protection, and the PG13.5 gland provides a sealed transition at the connector to prevent water ingress. The 5 m length balances installation flexibility and signal integrity for typical patching and fixed-link scenarios. The cable's robust jacket and connector assembly are suitable for harsher environments where moisture and contaminants are present.

Suitable for

• Outdoor Ethernet links between buildings or enclosures where moisture protection is required
• Industrial network segments near machinery, washdown areas, or dusty environments
• Marine installations aboard vessels or docks requiring sealed connections
• High-speed LAN patching where Cat6a performance and reduced interference are needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance level with S/FTP shielding (overall braid + foil on pairs)
• Length: 5 meters
• Ingress protection: IP68-rated for dust-tight and continuous immersion resistance
• Sealing: Fitted with a PG13.5 gland to provide a waterproof cable entry at the connector
• Color: Black outer jacket
• Use environment: Rated for outdoor, industrial, and marine exposure where moisture protection is necessary

How to use

Prepare mating ports by ensuring connectors and ports are clean and free from debris. Insert the cable connector into the Ethernet port and tighten the PG13.5 gland to the enclosure or mating flange as required to create a sealed cable entry. Verify that cable bends comply with the manufacturer's minimum bend radius for maintained performance. After connecting, test the link for proper Ethernet speed and signal integrity using network test equipment or link status indicators.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, and secure it with appropriate clamps or ties outside the sealing area. When installing in permanently submerged or high-vibration locations, confirm gland torque and enclosure mating surfaces are intact. Use the cable for runs within the specified length to maintain Cat6a characteristics and perform periodic inspections in harsh environments.
