Network patch cable Ubiquiti UACC-Cable-Patch-Outdoor-C6A 3 m Cat6a F/UTP RJ-45 Black

Ultra-thin, rugged outdoor Cat6a patch cable from UBIQUITI, 3 m length, designed and optimized for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in harsh environments. The cable features F/UTP (FTP) shielding and shielded RJ-45 connectors to reduce electromagnetic interference and support Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments for outdoor or indoor network connections.

Advantages

This Ubiquiti outdoor Cat6a cable combines a slim 3.5 mm outer diameter with a weatherproof, insulated jacket and internal foil shielding plus a drain wire for improved ESD protection. The thin profile makes routing easier in tight spaces while the shielded design preserves signal integrity for 10 GbE links and PoE systems.

Suitable for

• Outdoor Ethernet runs between network equipment (switches, routers, access points)
• Indoor-to-outdoor connections where weather resistance is needed
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links requiring Cat6a performance
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) powered devices such as access points and IP cameras

When it may not be suitable

This cable is optimized for Ethernet data and PoE and is not intended for non-network electrical wiring or high-voltage applications. If you require a cable longer than 3 m, verify available outer diameter and performance for longer lengths (the product family offers other lengths up to 15 m with slightly larger diameter).

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a F/UTP (FTP)
• Data rate: up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10000 Mbit/s)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male — both ends
• Outer diameter: 3.5 mm (for 1–8 m lengths)
• Jacket: insulated, weatherproof
• Shielding: internal foil shield and drain wire; shielded RJ-45
• Colour: Black
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE)

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 end to the corresponding Ethernet ports on your network devices (switch, router, access point or patch panel). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click. For outdoor runs, route the cable through suitable conduits or protective channels where possible and secure the cable to avoid strain on the connectors. Verify link speed and PoE operation after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Required length and available product lengths within the outdoor Cat6a range
• Compatibility with your equipment's PoE class and connector type (RJ-45)
• Installation environment — exposure to UV, moisture, and mechanical stress
• Routing constraints where a slim 3.5 mm cable may be advantageous

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation, keep terminations dry and clean, and use additional protection where the cable is exposed to direct sunlight or physical damage. Test the link after installation to confirm 10 GbE connectivity and PoE delivery.
