InLine Patch cable armoured, U/FTP, Cat.6A, black, 3m

The InLine® Cat.6A armoured patch cable (3 m) is an armored U/FTP Ethernet cable designed for demanding network applications and harsh environments. It combines a SUS204 stainless steel inner jacket with a highly elastic PVC outer sheath and HDPE core insulation to provide enhanced mechanical strength, shielding and signal integrity. The cable is terminated with fully shielded crimped 8P8C (RJ-45) plugs with 50 µ" gold-plated contacts and supports up to 500 MHz bandwidth and PoE power levels up to 90 W.

Advantages

The armoured construction increases resistance to mechanical stress, heavy foot traffic, weather, pests and rodents while full shielding reduces electromagnetic interference. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulation and gold-plated contacts ensure stable electrical performance and reliable data transmission. The robust materials and construction deliver a durable cable suitable for installations where standard patch cords are insufficient.

Suitable for

• Permanent and temporary outdoor installations (shows, concerts, billboards, advertising signs)
• Environments with mechanical strain or risk of rodent damage
• Network links requiring 10GBase-T or high-bandwidth Cat.6A performance
• PoE/PoE+/PoE++ power delivery up to 90 W

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs to corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices, ensuring the connectors are fully seated. Use the cable for 10/100/1000/10G network links and PoE applications within the specified power and temperature limits. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling during installation; route the cable through protective conduits or cable trays where additional mechanical protection is required.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, install the cable within the recommended temperature range, avoid repeated heavy loads at the same point, and verify link performance with a certified tester (for example, Fluke DSX 8000) after installation. Use armored routing for permanent outdoor or high-traffic locations.
