Patch Cable Synergy21 RJ45 Cat6A 500MHz 5m S-STP (S/FTP) Outdoor PE/PVC AWG26

The Synergy21 RJ45 Cat6A patch cable is a shielded network cable designed for high‑speed Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. With a 5 m length and support for frequencies up to 500 MHz, this S‑STP (S/FTP) cable uses AWG26 conductors and an outdoor‑rated PE/PVC jacket to provide enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference and increased durability for exposed or industrial installations.

Advantages

The cable’s S‑STP (S/FTP) construction combines an overall braided shield with individually foiled pairs to minimize crosstalk and external interference in noisy environments. AWG26 conductors balance signal integrity and flexibility for typical installation scenarios. The outdoor PE/PVC jacket increases resistance to moisture, UV exposure and mechanical stress compared with indoor‑only jackets, making it suitable for routed outdoor runs where protection from the elements is required.

Suitable for

• 10/100/1000BASE‑T and 10GBASE‑T Ethernet links within the specified distance and environment
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP cameras, access points and VoIP phones
• Outdoor or industrial network connections where a weather‑resistant jacket is needed
• Shielded network segments in commercial or lab environments with high EMI

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for permanent burial without additional conduit or direct burial rated accessories; the PE/PVC jacket improves outdoor resistance but does not replace purpose‑built direct‑burial cables. It is also unnecessary for very short inside‑office runs where unshielded Cat6A or Cat6 cabling would be adequate and more cost‑effective.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A
• Frequency rating: up to 500 MHz
• Length: 5 meters
• Shielding: S‑STP (overall braid + individually foiled pairs, also described as S/FTP)
• Conductor size: AWG26
• Jacket material: outdoor‑rated PE/PVC
• Connector type: RJ45 (shielded)

How to use

Plug the shielded RJ45 connectors into compatible shielded ports on network devices or patch panels. Ensure that both ends and the mating equipment provide proper chassis grounding to benefit from the cable’s shielding. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of excessive heat; maintain recommended bend radius and secure with appropriate cable management. For outdoor installations, use weatherproofed connectors or enclosures at termination points to maintain environmental protection.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required length and whether 5 m meets the planned run and slack requirements
• Verify that connected equipment supports shielded cabling and has proper grounding
• Assess installation conditions — if direct burial is required, choose a direct‑burial rated alternative or use conduit
• Check that AWG26 conductor size and Cat6A performance meet bandwidth and PoE power needs

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the Synergy21 Cat6A S‑STP cable in shielded network segments and ensure consistent grounding at both ends. In outdoor or exposed installations, protect terminations with weatherproof enclosures and avoid prolonged UV exposure where possible to extend jacket life.
