Microconnect B-UTP640SOUT networking cable Black 40 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP640SOUT RJ-45 Cat6 40 m Black is an outdoor-rated Cat6 patch cable designed for reliable network connections in exterior environments. With a 40 m length and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, it supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz and data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s while remaining backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards. The cable uses a double PE outer jacket for water and UV resistance and features U/UTP construction to reduce interference during data transmission.

Advantages

The double polyethylene (PE) outer jacket provides enhanced protection against moisture and sunlight, extending usable life in outdoor installations. Tested to Cat6 frequency specifications (up to 250 MHz), the cable ensures compatibility with high-speed network equipment and maintains signal integrity. The built-in snagless design helps protect the RJ-45 connector tab during installation in confined spaces. Backwards compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 simplifies upgrades without replacing existing infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Outdoor surveillance camera connections
• Facade and external building network runs
• Garden, camping or temporary outdoor network setups
• Long cable runs where water and UV resistance are required

How to use

Measure the required route for the 40 m cable and plan anchor points to avoid strain. Feed the cable through conduits or along facades, taking care not to kink the cable; the snagless connector design reduces the risk of damaging the RJ-45 clip during installation. Terminate both ends into network devices or patch panels with compatible RJ-45 ports and test the connection with appropriate network testing tools to confirm continuity and performance.

Recommendations

Do not bury the cable directly without additional protective conduit; while the double PE jacket offers water and UV resistance, prolonged direct ground contact or mechanical stress may reduce lifespan. For permanent outdoor installations use proper fixings, avoid sharp bends, and verify compatibility with connected network hardware to achieve Cat6 performance.
