Outdoor Patch Cable slim wirewin KAT6A S/FTP Anti-UV PUR Jacket black RJ45 1.0 m

The slim wirewin Outdoor Patch Cable KAT6A S/FTP with Anti-UV PUR jacket is a 1.0 m RJ45 patch lead designed for outdoor and exposed installations. Built to meet Category 6A performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, the cable features combined foil and braid shielding (S/FTP) to minimise electromagnetic interference and a durable PUR outer jacket resistant to UV exposure. The black, slim-profile design allows for compact routing and straightforward RJ45-to-RJ45 connections between outdoor network devices, patch panels, and weather-protected enclosures.

Advantages

This outdoor patch cable provides Category 6A transmission capability in a compact 1.0 m length while offering S/FTP shielding to suppress external and internal crosstalk. The anti-UV PUR jacket increases resistance to sun exposure and mechanical wear compared with standard PVC, and the black colour reduces visual impact in outdoor installations. The RJ45 straight male connectors on both ends make it suitable for direct patching and connecting standard network ports without adapters.

Suitable for

• Short outdoor Ethernet runs between wall outlets, switches, or access points
• Patching external devices such as outdoor cameras, wireless access points, and weatherproof switches
• Temporary or permanent external connections where UV resistance and shielding are required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for short-distance patching and linking of RJ45 ports; it is not intended as a long-haul buried or permanent in-ground cable. For installations that require higher mechanical protection such as rodent resistance, conduit-rated or armored cabling should be considered. Also, if a longer cable run or different connector type is required, this 1.0 m RJ45-to-RJ45 lead will not be appropriate.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.0 m
• Connector type: RJ45 straight male to RJ45 straight male
• Cable category: Cat6A (10 Gigabit Ethernet capable)
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil plus overall braid)
• Outer jacket material: Anti-UV PUR
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device or patch panel port and the other RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on the switch, router, camera, or access point. Ensure that connected devices support Cat6A speeds if 10 Gigabit performance is required. When routing the cable outdoors, avoid sharp bends and secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties to prevent strain on the connectors. If the connection will be exposed to direct weather, use weatherproof RJ45 boots or rated enclosures to protect the mating point.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 1.0 m length is sufficient for the intended connection
• Verify that both devices have standard RJ45 ports and require Cat6A performance
• Assess whether PUR jacket and UV resistance meet the environmental demands of the installation
• Check if additional weatherproofing or conduit is needed for prolonged exposure

Usage recommendations

For reliable outdoor links, keep the cable away from high-voltage lines and strong EMI sources, secure it to fixed structures to avoid movement, and pair with weatherproof connectors or enclosures where the RJ45 interface is exposed to rain or direct sunlight.
