Ubiquiti UACC-Cable-Patch-Outdoor-C6A-5M-W Cat6a F/UTP Patch Cable 5m White

The Ubiquiti UACC-Cable-Patch-Outdoor-C6A-5M-W is a high-performance 5-meter Cat6a patch cable engineered specifically for demanding outdoor networking environments. This cable provides reliable, high-speed connectivity for professional installations, ensuring that your network remains stable even when exposed to challenging conditions. With its robust construction and advanced shielding, it is an essential component for maintaining high data integrity in outdoor setups.

Advantages

This patch cable features F/UTP shielding combined with an integrated drain wire, which offers superior protection against electromagnetic interference and electrostatic discharge damage. The durable, weatherproof jacket is designed to withstand harsh environmental factors, ensuring long-term reliability. Despite its rugged build, the cable maintains a slim profile, making it easy to route through conduits or tight spaces while supporting high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet data transfer rates.

Suitable for

• Outdoor wireless access point connections
• Security camera installations in exterior locations
• Connecting network devices in harsh environments
• High-speed 10 GbE backbone links
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications

When it may not be suitable

This cable is specifically optimized for outdoor use and may be overkill for standard indoor office environments where less robust cabling is sufficient. Additionally, if your installation requires a length significantly different from the 5-meter specification, you may need to consider other options within the product line.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a F/UTP
• Length: 5 meters
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male on both ends
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: Internal foil with drain wire
• Color: White
• PoE support: Yes

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your networking device, such as an outdoor access point or a network switch. Ensure that the connector is fully seated until you hear a click. Because this cable is designed for outdoor use, ensure that any cable runs are properly secured and that the connectors are protected from direct water submersion if the installation environment is particularly wet.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware supports Cat6a standards for optimal performance.
• Ensure the 5-meter length is sufficient for your specific installation distance.
• Check if your equipment requires Power over Ethernet (PoE) to ensure compatibility.

Usage recommendations

For the best performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable during installation. Ensure that the cable is properly anchored to prevent strain on the RJ-45 connectors.
