Network patch cable UBIQUITI UACC-Cable-Patch-Outdoor-C6A-15M-BK — 15 m Cat6a F/UTP RJ-45 to RJ-45, black

UBIQUITI UACC-Cable-Patch-Outdoor-C6A-15M-BK is a 15 m outdoor patch cable conforming to Cat6a F/UTP (FTP) standard, designed for high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The cable features shielded RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a weatherproof jacket that protects internal foil shielding and a drain wire for improved resistance to electromagnetic interference and ESD. Intended for outdoor network links and PoE-capable installations, the cable provides a reliable connection between switches, routers and network equipment at up to 10,000 Mbit/s.

Advantages

The cable combines thin, rugged construction with full foil shielding to deliver stable performance in harsh outdoor environments while minimizing bulk. Its insulated, weatherproof outer jacket and internal drain wire improve protection against moisture, UV and electrical interference. With shielded RJ-45 terminations and Cat6a specification, the cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet without additional adapters, offering a ready-to-use solution for outdoor, rooftop and exposed installations.

Suitable for

• Outdoor Ethernet links between network devices (switch-to-switch, switch-to-router)
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) supplied devices such as access points and IP cameras
• Rooftop, mast or façade installations where weather resistance is required
• High-speed connections requiring Cat6a performance up to 10 Gbit/s

Key specifications

• Length: 15 m
• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs and drain wire)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, shielded straight plugs
• Maximum data rate: 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Outer jacket: insulated, weatherproof and UV-resistant
• Outer diameter: approximately 3.9 mm for this length
• Color: black
• PoE: supports Power over Ethernet installations

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring connectors are inserted fully into RJ-45 ports until the locking clip engages. For outdoor runs, secure the cable along intended paths using UV-resistant cable ties or clips and avoid sharp bends or tight kinks that exceed the manufacturer's recommended bend radius. Ensure both ends are properly seated and test the link with a network tester or by verifying connection speed and stability on connected devices.

Usage recommendations

When installing outdoors, place the cable in locations protected from direct mechanical damage and avoid proximity to strong electrical noise sources. Use surge protection for long runs exposed to lightning risk and follow local grounding practices: because the cable includes foil shielding and a drain wire, proper grounding can improve EMI protection. For best performance at 10 Gbit/s, keep run lengths within recommended limits and ensure connectors and ports on both ends support Cat6a and 10 Gigabit operation.
