Network patch cable Synergy21 CAT6A S-STP 500MHz RJ45 1.5m outdoor UV- and water-resistant

The Synergy21 CAT6A S-STP 500MHz RJ45 1.5m outdoor UV- and water-resistant patch cable is designed for high-speed Ethernet links where improved shielding and environmental resistance are required. This 1.5 metre cable supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and uses screened foiled twisted-pair (S-STP) construction with RJ45 connectors to provide stable data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference in LAN and PoE applications. Its jacket is rated for outdoor exposure and resists ultraviolet light and moisture, making it suitable for runs that encounter weather or harsh conditions.

Advantages

The cable’s S-STP shielding lowers susceptibility to external EMI and crosstalk, which helps maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies and longer distances typical for CAT6A performance. The 500 MHz bandwidth enables gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet applications. The outdoor-grade jacket provides UV resistance and water protection to extend service life when used in exposed installations. Standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with commonly used network equipment.

Suitable for

• Indoor and outdoor Ethernet patching where environmental resistance is needed
• Structured LAN backbones and horizontal runs up to the cable’s rated distance
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as access points, VoIP phones, and IP cameras
• High-speed network links requiring up to 500 MHz bandwidth (gigabit and multi-gigabit)

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for typical network patching and short to moderate permanent links; it is not a substitute for fibre-optic runs where very long distances or electromagnetic immunity beyond shielded copper limits are required. For installations that require special armouring, underground direct burial without conduit, or compliance with specific local fire codes for plenum spaces, alternative cable types may be more appropriate.

• Length: 1.5 m
• Suitable for outdoors: UV-resistant and water-resistant jacket
• Designed for: Ethernet and Power over Ethernet applications

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to your network device (switch, router, NIC, or PoE injector) and the other to the corresponding port on the connected device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish secure contact. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain appropriate separation from strong electromagnetic sources where possible to preserve shielding effectiveness. For outdoor runs, secure and protect terminations from direct water exposure using proper enclosures or weatherproof RJ45 boots if required.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length and allow extra margin for routing and strain relief
• Confirm that copper shielded cable meets your site grounding and bonding practices
• Check whether local regulations require plenum-rated or specifically armored cables

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within standard CAT6A installation practices: avoid tight bends (minimum bend radius typically four times the cable diameter), keep separation from high-voltage power lines, and terminate using compatible shielded RJ45 ports or properly grounded connectors to maintain the S-STP shielding effectiveness.
