Ubiquiti UACC-CABLE-PATCH-OUTDOOR-8M-BK Shielded Outdoor Patch Cable
Overview
The UACC-CABLE-PATCH-OUTDOOR-8M-BK is an 8-meter shielded patch cable engineered for outdoor UISP network deployments where moisture, UV, and temperature swings are routine. The cable pairs an RJ45 plug with internal foil shielding and an integrated ESD drain wire — both wrapped in a weatherproof, insulating jacket. This construction protects against electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic interference typical of long outdoor runs and high-noise environments (telecom corridors, utility cabinets, rooftop arrays). Use it to connect UISP equipment across extended distances without signal degradation or connector corrosion.
Compatibility
Designed for all UISP infrastructure and compatible with standard RJ45 ethernet equipment across the Ubiquiti product line. The shielded RJ45 connector works with UISP devices and any standard gigabit-rated networking gear that accepts shielded patch terminations. The 8-meter length addresses mid-to-long runs between outdoor mounted radios, switches, or power distribution points without requiring bulk conduit or additional junction boxes.
Installation Notes
The weatherproof jacket and integrated ESD drain mean the cable can be routed directly outdoors without additional conduit in most climates — a time saver on tower and rooftop installations. The shielded construction requires proper grounding of the drain wire at one end to be effective; follow your UISP cabinet or ground-block grounding plan. Standard RJ45 termination torque and insertion techniques apply; no special tools required. Store in a cool, dry location before deployment to preserve jacket flexibility in cold weather.
