Patch Cable Synergy21 RJ45 CAT6A 500 MHz S-STP Outdoor UV-/water-resistant 50 m

Synergy21 Patch Cable RJ45 CAT6A 500 MHz, 50 m S‑STP Outdoor UV-/water-resistant is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for demanding outdoor LAN connections. The cable supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and uses S‑STP (shielded, screened twisted pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference. The robust outer jacket provides UV protection and water resistance, making the cable suitable for installations in exposed environments such as roofs, façades, gardens, and conduit runs where a high-performance CAT6A link is required.

Advantages

This Synergy21 CAT6A patch cable offers stable high-speed data transmission up to 500 MHz with improved noise immunity due to S‑STP shielding. The 50 m length enables long runs without intermediate connectors, and the outdoor-rated jacket resists UV degradation and moisture ingress. Pre-terminated RJ45 ends allow immediate use in standard Ethernet equipment without on-site termination tools.

Suitable for

• Outdoor Ethernet runs between buildings, routers, switches, and PoE devices
• High-speed LAN connections requiring CAT6A performance (up to 10 Gbps in appropriate setups)
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are preferred
• Permanent exterior installations along façades, gardens, roofs, or through waterproof conduits

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for outdoor and shielded CAT6A applications. It may be excessive for short indoor patching where CAT5e or unshielded CAT6 solutions would suffice and lower cost is a priority. Because it is a pre-terminated 50 m patch cable, it may be difficult to route or conceal in tight indoor cable management systems compared with shorter patch cords or bulk cable that can be cut to length and terminated on-site.

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A
• Shielding: S‑STP (overall braid plus individually shielded pairs)
• Bandwidth/frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Length: 50 m
• Connector type: RJ45, pre-terminated
• Environmental properties: UV-resistant jacket and water-resistant construction for outdoor use
• Intended use: Ethernet networks, supports high-speed data and PoE where applicable

How to use

Plan the cable route to avoid sharp bends and sources of mechanical strain. Connect the pre-terminated RJ45 plugs to compatible Ethernet ports on switches, routers, or PoE devices. Ensure that both ends are fully inserted and latched in the ports. For outdoor installation, secure the cable along the route using appropriate clips or conduit and avoid direct contact with heat sources. If the cable will be exposed to standing water or submerged conditions, verify that connectors and terminations are adequately protected with waterproofing accessories.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that 50 m pre-terminated length matches your route and routing constraints
• Confirm that shielded cable (S‑STP) is compatible with your network equipment and grounding practices
• Check that outdoor UV- and water-resistant rating meets the exposure conditions of your installation
• Consider whether a bulk cable and on-site termination would be preferable for concealed or complex runs

Usage recommendations

For best performance, maintain proper grounding for shielded installations, avoid tight bending radii (follow manufacturer bend-radius guidance), and use corrosion-resistant mounting hardware for outdoor runs. Test links after installation with a network tester to confirm signal integrity and verify data rates up to CAT6A performance.
