Patch Cable Synergy21 RJ45 CAT6A 500 MHz 7.5 m, black, S-STP (S/FTP), Outdoor UV- and water-resistant, AWG26

Synergy21 RJ45 CAT6A patch cable with 500 MHz bandwidth and 7.5 m length provides a shielded connection designed for reliable high‑speed Ethernet. The cable uses S‑STP (S/FTP) construction with individually foil‑shielded pairs and an overall braid, together with AWG26 conductors to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The outer jacket is formulated for outdoor use, offering UV and water resistance for installations exposed to sunlight and moisture. This cable supports Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links, Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, and stable network connections across indoor and outdoor environments.

Advantages

The S‑STP (S/FTP) shielding combined with AWG26 conductors ensures consistent signal integrity and lower interference in environments with nearby electrical noise. A 500 MHz bandwidth rating meets the requirements for CAT6A performance, reducing attenuation over the 7.5 m length. The UV‑resistant and water‑resistant jacket increases longevity for outdoor deployments while the RJ45 terminations provide straightforward connectivity with standard network equipment.

Suitable for

• High‑speed Ethernet links including 1GBASE‑T and 10GBASE‑T
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as access points and IP cameras
• Indoor structured cabling and short outdoor runs between buildings or enclosures
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This shielded CAT6A cable is heavier and less flexible than unshielded alternatives, which may make routing in very tight conduits or highly flexible patching panels more difficult. For very long backbone runs beyond typical horizontal or patch lengths, use cabling and installation techniques rated specifically for those distances.

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Length: 7.5 m
• Shielding: S‑STP (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded pairs, S/FTP)
• Conductor size: AWG26
• Connector type: RJ45
• Jacket: UV‑resistant and water‑resistant outer sheath suitable for outdoor exposure
• Intended applications: Ethernet, PoE

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into corresponding network ports on switches, routers, access points or devices. Ensure proper grounding of shielded installations by connecting the cable shield to grounded equipment or outlets according to installation standards. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain bend radius recommendations for CAT6A to preserve performance. For outdoor runs, protect termination points and connectors from direct water ingress and secure the cable to prevent physical damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 7.5 m meets the installation needs
• Whether shielded cabling is necessary for the environment and if equipment provides proper grounding
• Compatibility with required Ethernet speeds (1G/10G) and PoE power levels
• Routing constraints where a stiffer shielded cable might be harder to install

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its rated length, avoid exceeding recommended bend radii, and ensure shield termination and grounding at least at one end according to local cabling standards. When used outdoors, seal and protect connector areas from prolonged moisture exposure to maintain long‑term reliability.
