Microconnect B-UTP605SOUT networking cable Black 5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect B-UTP605SOUT is a 5 m Cat6 outdoor networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for outdoor installations, the cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and meets Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz. The U/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference, while gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability. The cable comes in black and has a double polyethylene (PE) outer jacket for enhanced water and UV resistance.

Advantages

This Cat6 outdoor patch cable features a double PE outer jacket that increases resistance to moisture and UV exposure. It is tested to Cat6 frequency standards (up to 250 MHz) and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, ensuring broad device compatibility. The U/UTP design limits interference, and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide durable, low-resistance connections. A built-in strain relief (snagless design) helps protect the connector during tight installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting outdoor surveillance cameras
• Networking along building facades and exteriors
• Garden, camping, and temporary outdoor network setups
• Outdoor access points and network devices

How to use

Route the cable between devices using the RJ-45 connectors at each end. When installing outdoors, secure the cable along a facade or structure to prevent sagging and minimise mechanical stress. Ensure connectors are fully inserted into compatible network ports; the snagless strain relief helps protect the connector during feed-through in tight spaces. If exposed to prolonged wet conditions, verify that junctions and terminations are sealed appropriately to maintain performance.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term outdoor performance, mount the cable away from direct sources of heat, avoid sharp bends, and use weatherproof junctions or protective conduits for connections and terminations. Regularly inspect visible runs for wear or damage, especially after severe weather.
