InLine Patch cable armoured, U/FTP, Cat.6A, black, 10m

The InLine® Cat.6A armoured patch cable is a robust U/FTP Ethernet cable designed for demanding network applications. Constructed with an SUS204 stainless steel inner jacket and a highly elastic PVC outer sheath, it provides mechanical protection against heavy foot traffic, weather, pests and rodents. The cable uses HDPE core insulation and 28AWG conductors, supports PoE/PoE+/PoE++ up to 90 W and delivers up to 500 MHz bandwidth for reliable signal integrity over its 10 m length. RJ-45 (8P8C) connectors with 50 µ" gold-plated contacts and fully shielded crimped plugs complete the assembly, making the cable suitable for installations that require enhanced shielding and durability.

Advantages

The armoured design with an SUS204 inner jacket and full U/FTP shielding increases mechanical strength and electromagnetic interference protection. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulation and 28AWG conductors maintain signal quality and low attenuation across the Cat.6A 500 MHz specification. The highly elastic PVC outer sheath improves flexibility while providing resistance to environmental stress, and gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connector performance.

Suitable for

• Outdoor and exposed installations where mechanical protection is needed (shows, concerts, billboards, advertising signs)
• Environments with potential rodent or pest exposure
• PoE applications up to 90 W
• High-performance Ethernet links requiring Cat.6A U/FTP shielding

How to use

Connect RJ-45 plugs to corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices; ensure connectors are fully seated and the shielding is properly bonded to grounded metal housings if present. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends (respect minimum bend radius) and areas where sustained crushing may occur. For outdoor or exposed installations, secure the cable to supports and protect termination points from direct weather exposure. Observe the specified installation temperature range and follow local installation standards for shielded cables.

Recommendations

For best performance, test the installed link with a Cat.6A-capable tester (for example Fluke DSX series) and ensure proper grounding of the shield. Avoid repeated severe mechanical stress at connector ends and maintain service loops to prevent strain on terminations.
