Patch cable DELTACO S/FTP Cat6a, 3 m, IP68-rated waterproof with PG13.5 gland, black

DELTACO S/FTP Cat6a patch cable, 3 m, is a shielded Ethernet cable engineered for high-speed 10GBASE-T networks and for use in environments that require moisture and dust protection. The cable uses S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction to minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and its IP68-rated outer jacket with PG13.5 gland enables sealed connections in outdoor or industrial installations. The black, 3-m length provides a balance of reach and manageability when connecting switches, routers, network ports and active equipment in exposed locations.

Advantages

The S/FTP Cat6a design delivers reliable 10 Gbit/s performance with improved immunity to external noise compared with unshielded alternatives. The IP68-rated jacket and integrated PG13.5 gland create a watertight connection point suitable for prolonged outdoor exposure or dusty industrial settings. Shielding around each pair and an overall drain/foil shield help maintain signal integrity across the full 3 m length, while the durable outer sheath resists mechanical wear. The standardized RJ45 termination ensures compatibility with common Ethernet ports.

Suitable for

• Outdoor networking between cabinets, enclosures and devices where a sealed connection is required
• Industrial environments with elevated dust, moisture or electrical interference
• High-speed 10GBASE-T uplinks and short-run links between switches, routers and servers
• PoE installations that require protected cabling in exposed locations

How to use

Route the DELTACO S/FTP Cat6a patch cable between the two network endpoints, ensuring the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius. Insert the RJ45 plugs into the corresponding Ethernet ports until they click into place. For outdoor or enclosure installations, pass the cable through the entry point and tighten the PG13.5 gland to create the sealed connection; verify the gland is correctly seated against the enclosure wall or gland nut. Test the link using a network tester or by confirming network connectivity and speed on the connected devices.

Usage recommendations

The cable is designed for use in outdoor and industrial applications; avoid prolonged immersion under conditions exceeding IP68 specifications and inspect seals periodically. Maintain service loops and secure cable runs to prevent strain on the RJ45 plugs and gland. For maximum performance, use with compatible shielded equipment and ensure proper grounding of shields where required by the installation.
