DIGITUS DK-1644-A-030-OD-10 CAT 6A S/FTP Outdoor Patch Cable PE Black 3m 10 Pieces

The DIGITUS DK-1644-A-030-OD-10 CAT 6A S/FTP Outdoor Patch Cable PE Black 3m 10 Pieces set provides reliable and high-speed Ethernet connectivity designed specifically for demanding outdoor environments. Each cable in this 10-piece pack features a robust polyethylene outer jacket combined with S/FTP shielding to ensure stable data transmission even when exposed to harsh weather conditions. Manufactured and tested according to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 6A standards, these cables offer dependable network performance up to 500 MHz and support Power over Ethernet applications.

Advantages

Constructed with a durable LDPE outer sheath, these outdoor patch cables offer exceptional resistance to ultraviolet radiation, acids, alkalis, and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability outdoors. The integrated RJ45 plugs include molded anti-kink boots with strain relief and latching lever protection to prevent cable snags and accidental breakage during installation and maintenance. Furthermore, the inner copper conductors guarantee optimal signal integrity across the entire network link.

Suitable for

• Outdoor Ethernet networking and security camera installations
• Connecting network devices across strong temperature fluctuations and sun-exposed areas
• Power over Ethernet applications including PoE, PoE+, and PoE++
• High-speed local area network setups requiring Cat 6A performance

When it may not be suitable

These outdoor patch cables may not be ideal for standard indoor office environments where flexible PVC cables are preferred due to routing requirements. Additionally, the rigid weather-resistant jacket is less suited for confined indoor spaces with tight bending radii.

Key specifications

• CAT 6A Class E performance tested up to 500 MHz
• S/FTP shielding configuration
• Copper inner conductor
• Length: 3 meters per cable
• Polyethylene outer jacket with UV, acid, alkali, and corrosion resistance
• Operating temperature range from -20 °C to +60 °C
• Equipped with two RJ45 8P8C plugs featuring bend protection and latching lever guard
• Quantity: 10 pieces

How to use

Connect one end of the patch cable into an outdoor-rated network device, switch, router, or PoE injector, and route the cable carefully while avoiding sharp bends. Ensure the RJ45 connector clicks securely into place, utilizing the integrated latch protection. The durable outer sheath allows the cable to be laid safely along external building walls or through protective conduits outdoors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 3-meter length is sufficient for your specific routing distance between network components
• Confirm compatibility with outdoor routing paths and temperature conditions at your installation site
• Check if PoE support is required for your connected network hardware

For optimal network performance and longevity, protect the cable connections from direct standing water and avoid exceeding the specified operating temperature range during installation.
