This 20m CAT6 Steel Armoured UTP Cable from Loops is ideal for network administrators and security installers needing a durable, high-performance solution for outdoor and direct burial applications. It offers reliable 1Gbps data transmission and robust protection against physical damage and interference, though its 11mm outer diameter may require careful planning for routing in tight spaces.

Yes, while designed for outdoor and direct burial, this cable can also be used indoors. However, its armoured construction and thicker diameter might make it less practical for typical indoor runs compared to standard indoor CAT6 cables.
According to CAT6 standards, the maximum reliable length for 1Gbps data transmission is 100 meters (approximately 328 feet).
The 27 steel wires coiled around the cable provide a robust physical barrier against crushing, impact, rodents, and abrasion, making it suitable for direct burial and harsh industrial environments.
Yes, this CAT6 cable is fully compatible with PoE and PoE+ standards due to its pure copper conductors and UTP design, which minimize signal loss and ensure efficient power delivery.
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables, like this one, rely on the twisting of wire pairs to reduce interference. STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables have an additional layer of foil or braided shielding around the pairs for enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
You will need standard RJ45 connectors designed for solid core CAT6 cables. While no specialized tools are typically needed beyond standard crimpers, ensure you have tools suitable for handling potentially stiffer, armoured cable.
The total outer diameter of this cable is 11mm.
Verify all cable connections are properly terminated at both ends. Test the cable continuity and check for shorts using a network cable tester. Ensure the cable is not damaged along its run.
Check for excessive bending or kinks in the cable. Ensure the cable is within the 100m maximum length specification. Verify that the connected devices support 1Gbps speeds and are configured correctly.
Confirm that the network switch or injector supports the power requirements of the PoE device. Ensure the CAT6 cable is functioning correctly and can handle the power delivery without significant voltage drop.
If the HDPE jacket is compromised, inspect the underlying armouring and cable core. If the internal wires are exposed or damaged, the cable should be replaced to ensure reliable and safe operation. Small abrasions on the jacket that do not expose the armouring may be acceptable depending on the environment.
