The UniFi Patch Cable Outdoor 8M Black is a ruggedized networking cable engineered specifically for outdoor UniFi deployments where standard Ethernet cables simply won’t survive. Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions while maintaining reliable connectivity, this Category 5e cable features multiple layers of protection that set it apart from conventional patch cables. Whether you’re connecting outdoor access points, cameras, or other PoE-powered devices, this weatherproof solution ensures your network infrastructure remains operational through rain, snow, extreme temperatures, and UV exposure.

• Shielded RJ45 plug provides enhanced connector protection and signal integrity in exposed locations
• Weatherproof insulating jacket protects against moisture infiltration, temperature extremes, and physical wear
• Internal foil shielding with ESD drain wire safeguards against electrostatic discharge damage and electromagnetic interference
• 8-meter length offers flexible deployment options for spanning distances between devices and power sources

This outdoor-rated patch cable eliminates the need for improvised weatherproofing solutions or frequent cable replacements due to environmental damage. The integrated ESD protection is particularly valuable for outdoor installations where lightning strikes and static buildup pose genuine threats to connected equipment. At this length, the cable provides the reach needed for typical outdoor scenarios—mounting access points on building exteriors, connecting surveillance cameras to switches, or linking outdoor-rated networking equipment—while maintaining the clean, professional appearance your UniFi deployment deserves. It’s a purpose-built accessory that matches the reliability standards of your other UniFi hardware.
