Patch Cable Synergy21 RJ45 CAT6A 500MHz 10m Black S-STP S/FTP Outdoor AWG26

Synergy21 RJ45 CAT6A 500MHz patch cable, 10 m, black jacket, is a shielded network cable engineered for high‑speed Ethernet applications. Constructed as S‑STP (S/FTP) with AWG26 conductors, it supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and is suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The outdoor‑rated jacket provides mechanical protection and environmental resistance for deployments in exposed or partially protected installations.

Advantages

The S‑STP (S/FTP) construction combines an overall braid shield and individually shielded twisted pairs to minimize electromagnetic interference and near‑end crosstalk. AWG26 conductors deliver consistent signal integrity across the 10 m length while maintaining flexibility for cable routing. The cable's outdoor jacket and black colouring offer UV and weather resistance where short external runs or sheltered outdoor paths are required.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over short to medium distances
• Shielded network environments where reduced EMI is required
• Outdoor or exposed indoor runs with protection from direct weather exposure
• Structured cabling links between switches, patch panels and networked devices

When it may not be suitable

This 10 m CAT6A patch cable is intended for short to medium runs; it is not designed for long haul backbone cabling where fiber optic or permanent copper horizontal cabling would be more appropriate. While the jacket is suited for outdoor use, it is not a replacement for conduit or fully weatherproof installations in permanently exposed or buried scenarios.

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A, performance up to 500 MHz
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Shielding: S‑STP (overall braid + individually foil‑shielded pairs, S/FTP)
• Conductor size: AWG26 solid/stranded conductors (manufacturer specification)
• Colour: Black jacket suitable for outdoor use
• Data rate: supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate channel lengths

How to use

Install the Synergy21 RJ45 CAT6A patch cable by connecting each RJ45 plug to the network device or patch panel port designed for shielded cabling. Ensure the shield continuity is maintained by using compatible shielded RJ45 ports or grounded connectors. Route the cable to avoid close proximity to high‑power electrical sources and sharp edges. For outdoor runs, mount the cable with appropriate clips and avoid direct burial; where necessary, use conduit or weatherproof enclosures at termination points.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that both ends of your network equipment support shielded cabling and grounding to benefit from the S‑STP construction.
• Confirm that 10 m length is sufficient for your planned routing and avoid excessive slack or tight bends.
• Check whether the outdoor jacket matches your installation needs—fully buried or permanently exposed installations may require additional protection.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, pair this CAT6A S‑STP cable with shielded RJ45 ports and maintain proper grounding. Avoid co‑routing with high‑voltage power cables and keep bend radii above the manufacturer's minimum; use cable clips or trays for secure routing in outdoor or exposed areas.
