securityNET F/UTP category 6A PE outdoor dry cable 500m

The securityNET Category 6A F/UTP installation twisted-pair cable is a four-pair data transmission cable designed for outdoor telecommunications and structured cabling installations. It is intended for connecting network devices such as computers, routers, switches, and IP CCTV cameras.
The foil shield helps reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference, while solid copper conductors ensure stable data transmission and compliance with Category 6A requirements, including Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. The cable is commonly used in outdoor LAN networks and IP surveillance systems.
The cable complies with the requirements of the ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, and EIA/TIA 568-C.2 standards.

Product specifications

Detailed product specifications

Application

Outdoor, dry

Cables designed for outdoor dry-environment applications are engineered for use outside buildings in locations not exposed to direct moisture. The use of conductors made from 100% pure solid copper, combined with appropriate cable construction, ensures stable transmission performance and mechanical durability. This solution helps maintain electrical properties under varying temperature conditions and mechanical stress. These cables are well suited for routing along building facades, in cable trays, and within protective installation conduits.

Category

6A (class EA)

Category 6A, corresponding to Class EA, is a structured cabling standard designed for data transmission speeds of up to 10 Gb/s (10GBASE-T). According to the standard, it operates at frequencies of up to 500 MHz, ensuring a high margin of transmission performance and stable operation in modern high-bandwidth networks.

Category 6A cabling is widely used in LAN networks, data centers, and IP surveillance systems, enabling reliable connections between devices such as switches, routers, servers, and IP cameras. In accordance with structured cabling standards, the maximum permanent link length should not exceed 90 meters, assuming the use of patch cords up to 5 meters long on both ends of the channel.

Shielding

F/UTP

F/UTP twisted pair cable features an overall foil shield surrounding all wire pairs, without individual shielding for each pair. This design reduces the impact of external electromagnetic interference and minimizes cable-generated interference affecting the surrounding environment.

This cable is designed for installations in environments with moderate levels of EMI, where U/UTP may not provide sufficient transmission stability. It requires careful installation, maintaining shield continuity, and proper grounding. It is recommended for cable routes near electrical installations and in denser cable bundles. It performs well in installations with high requirements for stability and transmission performance.

Sheath

PE

The PE (polyethylene) jacket used in twisted pair cables is primarily intended for outdoor installations. This material offers excellent resistance to moisture, UV radiation, and varying weather conditions, allowing for long-term cable operation outside buildings.

Cables with a PE jacket are stiffer than their PVC or LSZH counterparts; however, they provide superior mechanical and environmental resistance. Due to their flammable properties and lack of low-smoke characteristics, they are not intended for indoor building installations.

CPR class

Fca

Euroclass Fca is the lowest fire reaction classification level in the CPR system. Cables in this class do not have confirmed performance parameters regarding flame spread, heat release, or smoke production.

Cables classified as Fca are not approved for permanent building installations covered by CPR regulations. Their use is limited to temporary, outdoor, or other installations that are not subject to building fire safety requirements.

In projects subject to CPR requirements, the use of cables with at least Eca classification is mandatory. The selection of the appropriate Euroclass should be based on project documentation and local fire safety regulations.

PoE

IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++)

The PoE++ Type 4 standard, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt, enables power delivery to network devices with up to 90 W while simultaneously transmitting data. Power is supplied using all four wire pairs (4PPoE), allowing support for high-power devices without additional power sources. The maximum transmission channel length is up to 100 meters.

PoE++ Type 4 is used to power advanced Wi-Fi access points, high-power CCTV cameras including PTZ and heated models, access control systems, information kiosks, multimedia terminals, Video VoIP devices, and other active equipment requiring approximately 71–90 W of power, depending on the power class.

Color

Czarny (RAL 9005)

A color primarily used in technical and outdoor installations. In the case of PE jackets, it provides enhanced UV resistance due to the carbon black content, which reduces material aging during prolonged exposure to sunlight.
