InLine Patch Cable Armoured, U/FTP, Cat.6A, Black, 1 m

The InLine® Cat.6A armoured patch cable is a 1 m, robust U/FTP Ethernet cable designed for demanding network applications. Its construction combines an inner SUS204 stainless steel jacket, full shielding and a highly elastic PVC outer sheath to provide mechanical protection and resistance to weather, pests and heavy foot traffic. The cable features 28 AWG conductors with HDPE insulation, fully shielded crimped 8P8C (RJ-45) plugs with 50 µ" gold-plated contacts and supports PoE up to 90 W. It is suitable for installations that require high signal integrity and durable physical protection.

Advantages

The armoured design and full U/FTP shielding ensure high mechanical strength and protection against electromagnetic interference. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulation and gold-plated contacts maintain signal integrity and reliable connectivity, while the SUS204 inner jacket and elastic PVC outer sheath increase resistance to crushing, environmental effects and rodent damage. The cable is tested to pass Fluke DSX 8000 channel tests and supports frequencies up to 500 MHz.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections (Cat.6A) in demanding environments
• Temporary outdoor installations such as shows, concerts and billboards
• Indoor runs where mechanical protection from foot traffic or rodents is required
• PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ powered devices up to 90 W

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device and the other to a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain shielding continuity. Follow standard cable routing and strain-relief practices to avoid excessive bending or sustained pressure on the armoured cable. Observe the specified installation temperature range when routing or terminating the cable.

Recommendations

The cable is recommended for short runs (1 m) in environments where mechanical protection and EMI shielding are required; avoid repeated sharp bends and do not exceed the rated force or temperature ranges for reliable long-term performance.
