Cat6A Slim Stainless Steel Armored Ethernet Patch Cable – 28AWG
Protect Ethernet connections in demanding installations with the Industrial Netware Cat6A Slim Stainless Steel Armored Ethernet Patch Cable. Combining flexible stainless steel armor with slim 28AWG copper conductors, this cable provides a practical solution where conventional Ethernet patch cables may be exposed to rodents, moisture, or physical wear.
Its SUS304 stainless steel and PVC jacket construction provides mechanical protection while allowing routing through tighter spaces. The cable is designed for factory automation, industrial equipment, outdoor networking, and other applications requiring a durable Ethernet connection.
The preterminated RJ45 connectors and T568B wiring make installation straightforward. Bestlink specifies an IP65 water-resistant construction and UV resistance for the cable.

Installation and Compatibility Notes
28AWG Construction: This is the slimmer armored cable version. Customers requiring heavier 24AWG conductors should select Industrial Netware's separate 24AWG armored cable family.
Shielding: Bestlink specifies four-pair UTP construction. The stainless steel armor should not be described as conventional Ethernet pair shielding.
Water Resistance: The supplier's IP65 specification does not mean the cable is suitable for submersion. Exposed RJ45 connections may require additional environmental protection.
PoE: Verify the applicable power, cable-length, and temperature requirements, particularly for longer 28AWG cable runs.
Cable Length: Select the appropriate length from the product options. The overall installed Ethernet channel must meet applicable performance limits.
