Patch cable Synergy21 RJ45 CAT6A 500MHz S-STP Outdoor UV-/water-resistant AWG26 15m

The Synergy21 RJ45 CAT6A patch cable is a shielded network cable engineered for outdoor and industrial installations. With S‑STP shielding and AWG26 conductors, this 15 m cable is rated for up to 500 MHz and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over copper. The outer jacket is UV- and water-resistant, designed to maintain performance in exposed environments and reduce signal degradation caused by moisture or sunlight.

Advantages

The cable combines braided and foil shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable high-speed data transmission in noisy environments. Its AWG26 conductor size balances flexibility with electrical performance, while the robust outdoor jacket provides long-term resistance to UV radiation and wet conditions. The standard RJ45 connectors and CAT6A specification make the cable compatible with modern network equipment and capable of supporting demanding applications that require low latency and high throughput.

Suitable for

• Outdoor Ethernet links between buildings, cabinets, and access points
• Industrial network connections where EMI/RFI reduction is required
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet segments within the 15 m distance limit
• FTTx or POE deployments that need shielded cabling and environmental protection

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed specifically for shielded, outdoor-rated CAT6A applications; it may be excessive for simple indoor home networks that do not experience interference or environmental exposure. For runs longer than 15 metres, signal attenuation and performance limits mean a different cable length or an active solution such as a switch or fiber optic link should be considered.

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A (500 MHz)
• Shielding: S‑STP (overall braid plus individual pair shielding)
• Conductor size: AWG26
• Length: 15 m
• Connector type: RJ45, shielded
• Environmental protection: UV-resistant and water-resistant outer jacket suitable for outdoor use
• Supported speeds: up to 10 Gbps (within specified distance limits)

How to use

Install the patch cable by connecting the shielded RJ45 plugs to compatible shielded ports on network devices, ensuring that the cable shielding and connector shells are properly grounded if the installation requires it. Route the cable along secure pathways, avoid tight bends and sharp edges, and use appropriate strain relief at connection points. For outdoor runs, mount the cable away from direct sources of mechanical stress and inspect connection points periodically for moisture ingress or damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 15 m covers the planned run without excess tension
• Need for shielded cabling and grounding in your installation to benefit from S‑STP
• Compatibility of network ports and equipment with shielded RJ45 connectors
• Whether a fiber solution might be preferable for longer distances or immunity to electrical interference

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use shielded RJ45 ports and ensure continuous shielding continuity to ground in environments with significant electromagnetic interference. Avoid tight bends (bend radius < 4× cable diameter) and secure outdoor terminations with weatherproof enclosures.
