Armoured Patch Cable EQUIP Cat.6A U/FTP, RJ-45–RJ-45, gold contacts, 20 m, black

Armoured patch cable EQUIP Cat.6A U/FTP, 20 m, with RJ-45 connectors at both ends and gold-plated contacts. This Cat.6A U/FTP (shielded twisted pair) cable is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks that require robust electromagnetic protection and enhanced mechanical durability. The cable construction includes a stainless steel inner jacket, highly elastic PVC outer sheath and HDPE insulation, providing improved resistance to abrasion, crushing and rodent damage while maintaining signal integrity up to 500 MHz. The fully shielded crimped RJ-45 plugs ensure a stable, low-loss connection for demanding installations such as server rooms, outdoor event setups and professional AV deployments.

Advantages

The armoured design delivers superior mechanical strength with certified short-term pressure resistance up to 2000 N and sustained pressure resistance up to 500 N, making the cable suitable for installations exposed to heavy foot traffic or mechanical stress. Full U/FTP shielding minimises electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while 50 µ" gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs provide reliable corrosion-resistant connectivity. Materials such as HDPE insulation and an SUS204 stainless-steel inner jacket offer high insulation performance, durability and temperature range compatibility for both installation and operation.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks and high-bandwidth data links
• Server rooms, data centres and network racks requiring shielded cabling
• Outdoor events, concerts and temporary installations exposed to mechanical stress
• PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ powered devices (up to 90 W)
• Professional AV systems and digital signage where signal integrity is critical

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plug on one end to the network port of a switch, patch panel or device and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure shield continuity by connecting to equipment with compatible shielded ports or using shielded patch panels and grounding points where required. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and keep bending radius consistent with the cable diameter to maintain performance. During installation follow the specified temperature limits and avoid crushing or sustained load beyond the rated mechanical resistance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal electromagnetic protection and performance, use with shielded network equipment and maintain proper grounding of cable shields. When deploying outdoors or in temporary event scenarios, secure cable runs to prevent excessive mechanical stress and inspect connectors for corrosion where exposure to moisture may occur.
