Microconnect B-UTP602SOUT networking cable Black 2 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP602SOUT is a 2 m outdoor networking cable that meets Cat6 performance. Designed for external installations, it features U/UTP construction with a double polyethylene (PE) outer jacket for increased resistance to water and UV exposure. The cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold plating and is tested to 250 MHz, supporting data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and remaining backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 equipment.

Advantages

The double PE outer jacket provides enhanced protection against moisture and ultraviolet radiation, extending the cable’s suitability for outdoor use. Cat6 testing up to 250 MHz ensures stable high-speed performance, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and reduce corrosion. The 2 m length and black color make the cable practical for visible outdoor runs and standard networking setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting outdoor surveillance cameras
• Network links on building facades
• Temporary or permanent installations in gardens and campsites
• Short outdoor runs between network devices and POE injectors/switches

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for short outdoor connections (2 m); it is not suitable where much longer runs are required. Although the double PE jacket increases weather resistance, it may not replace fully armored cables required for direct burial or high-mechanical-impact environments.

How to use

Route the cable between devices ensuring connectors are fully inserted into RJ-45 ports until they click. Use the integrated strain-relief feature when feeding the cable through tight conduits or mounting points to reduce stress on the connector. For power-over-Ethernet devices, verify the switch or injector supports the device’s power requirements. Secure the cable along its route with appropriate clips or ties designed for outdoor use to avoid sharp bends or prolonged mechanical stress.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your installation (this product is 2 m)
• Whether the route requires direct burial or armored cable
• Compatibility with the network equipment and PoE requirements
• Environmental exposure: extreme temperatures or mechanical impact

Recommendations

For best results in outdoor installations, pair the Microconnect Cat6 2 m cable with weatherproof connectors or junction boxes at termination points and avoid sharp bends; use UV-rated fastening accessories to maintain long-term performance.
