InLine Patch cable armoured, U/FTP, Cat.6A, black, 2m

The InLine® Cat.6A armoured patch cable (2 m) is a robust U/FTP Ethernet cable designed for demanding network applications. The cable combines a stainless-steel inner jacket (SUS204) and a highly elastic PVC outer sheath for increased mechanical strength and protection against heavy foot traffic, weather, pests and rodents. With 28AWG conductors, HDPE insulation and fully shielded RJ‑45 plugs with 50µ" gold-plated contacts, the cable supports reliable signal integrity and reduced interference for installations requiring high insulation quality and consistent performance.

Advantages

The armoured construction and full shielding provide enhanced mechanical and electromagnetic protection compared with standard patch cords. Materials such as SUS204 inner jacket, HDPE core insulation and a flexible PVC outer jacket offer high resistance to bending, pressure and environmental exposure. Gold‑plated 8P8C contacts and a fully shielded crimped plug ensure stable electrical contact and improved PoE compatibility up to 90 W. The cable is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and passes Fluke DSX 8000 channel testing.

Suitable for

• Outdoor and semi‑outdoor installations exposed to mechanical stress (e.g., billboards, advertising signs)
• Temporary event networks such as shows and concerts
• Environments with higher risk of rodent or pest damage
• PoE/PoE+/PoE++ powered devices requiring up to 90 W

How to use

Connect the fully shielded RJ‑45 plugs to standard 8P8C ports on network devices or patch panels. Ensure grounding of the shield in installations where overall system shielding is required. Route the cable avoiding sharp edges and excessive bending; observe the specified temperature ranges during installation and operation. For PoE devices, confirm power budgets do not exceed the cable's PoE rating.

Recommendations

Use the InLine® Cat.6A armoured patch cable for runs where mechanical protection and full shielding are needed. For permanent outdoor installations, complement with appropriate conduit and ensure proper shield grounding. Avoid repeated flexing beyond rated mechanical limits to maintain long‑term performance.
