InLine Patch cable armoured, U/FTP, Cat.6A, black, 0.5m

The InLine® Cat.6A armoured patch cable (0.5 m) is an armored U/FTP Ethernet cable designed for demanding network applications. Constructed with an inner SUS204 stainless steel jacket and a highly elastic PVC outer sheath, the cable provides enhanced mechanical protection and shielding. It has HDPE core insulation, 28AWG conductors and fully shielded RJ‑45 (8P8C) plugs with 50µ" gold-plated contacts, offering stable signal integrity and resistance to environmental stress, pests and mechanical strain. This 0.5 m black patch cable is suitable for installations that require high bandwidth and robust physical protection.

Advantages

The armoured design combines full shielding (U/FTP) with a stainless steel inner jacket and a flexible PVC outer sheath to deliver increased mechanical strength and EMI protection. HDPE insulation and 28AWG conductors support consistent electrical performance up to 500 MHz bandwidth. Fully shielded crimped RJ‑45 plugs with gold plating ensure reliable contact and improved corrosion resistance. The cable withstands substantial short-term and sustained pressure, and supports PoE up to 90 W.

Suitable for

• Temporary and permanent installations at events (shows, concerts)
• Outdoor advertising and billboards with physical exposure
• Industrial or public environments with heavy foot traffic or rodent risk
• High‑speed Ethernet links requiring Cat.6A performance and shielding

How to use

Connect the RJ‑45 connectors to compatible network ports, ensuring proper orientation and fully seated plugs. Use the 0.5 m patch cable to link switches, patch panels, networked equipment or PoE devices where a short, armored connection is needed. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable’s bend radius and install within the specified temperature range. For outdoor or exposed runs, route the cable to minimize sustained compression and protect connectors from direct moisture when possible.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, verify compatibility with your network equipment’s PoE class before delivering high power, and use strain relief or protective conduits in areas with heavy foot traffic or potential mechanical impact.
