Overview
The Ubiquiti UACC-CABLE-PATCH-OUTDOOR-8M-BK is an 8-meter black outdoor patch cable designed for Ethernet connections where the cable is exposed to outdoor environmental conditions. It uses a Category 5e construction with shielded RJ45 connectors and a weather-resistant thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket.
Technical Information
The cable uses stranded copper conductors with 24 AWG wire gauge and supports Gigabit Ethernet networking. Its shielded construction helps provide protection against electromagnetic interference, while the RJ45 connectors provide standard Ethernet connectivity. The cable supports PoE up to PoE+++ according to Ubiquiti's technical specifications.
Outdoor Construction
The 8-meter cable uses a 6.3 mm TPE jacket with S/FTP shielding and UV resistance tested to ASTM G 151/154. The construction is intended for outdoor installations and includes a minimum bend radius of 50.4 mm. The cable also carries a VW-1 flame rating under UL1581.
Key Features
- 8-meter cable length in black
- Category 5e construction supporting GbE
- Shielded RJ45 connectors for Ethernet connectivity
- S/FTP shielding with stranded copper conductors
- UV-resistant TPE jacket for outdoor installations
Applications
This cable can be used for outdoor Ethernet connections between compatible networking equipment, including installations where shielded connectivity and environmental protection are required. Its 8-meter length is suited to longer equipment-to-equipment connections than shorter patch cable variants.
DC Supplies Product Note
For outdoor routing, allow sufficient clearance for the specified 50.4 mm minimum bend radius rather than sharply folding the cable near the connectors or equipment ports.
