CAT6A OUTDOOR CABLE ANDOWL
CAT6A OUTDOOR CABLE ANDOWL – High-Speed Heavy-Duty External Network Cable
The CAT6A OUTDOOR CABLE ANDOWL (Model QC610 / 305 Meters Drum) is a professional-grade, high-performance network communication cable engineered specifically for outdoor ethernet deployments and high-bandwidth networking. Manufactured by Andowl, this Category 6A Foiled Twisted Pair (FTP) ethernet cable supports ultra-fast data transfer rates up to 10 Gigabits per second (10 Gbps) at a bandwidth frequency of 500 MHz, ensuring zero signal degradation across long transmission distances.
Built to withstand severe environmental exposure, the CAT6A OUTDOOR CABLE ANDOWL features a UV-resistant, weather-proof black outer PE jacket that protects against extreme sunlight, moisture, rain, and temperature fluctuations. Inside, individual twisted conductor pairs are shielded with aluminum foil and separated by a central spline isolator to eliminate crosstalk, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and radio frequency interference (RFI) in demanding outdoor installations.
As shown on the product packaging spool, the cable comes supplied on a 305 -meter (1000 ft) heavy-duty wooden reel marked “Andowl OUTDOOR FTP CABLE”, “CAT6A QC610”, and “305 Meters”, showcasing a multi-layered internal cross-section detailing its shielding and twisted conductor construction.

Installation Guidelines and Best Practices
INSTALLATION TIP: When running the cable outdoors without conduit, ensure drip loops are placed before entering wall penetrations to prevent water from following the cable into building interiors.
Shielded Connectors: Use high-grade shielded RJ45 connectors (or Keystone jacks) and ensure the internal drain wire is properly grounded to maintain full EMI protection.
Minimum Bend Radius: Avoid sharp bends during installation; maintain a minimum bend radius of at least 8 to 10 times the outer cable diameter to protect internal shielding.
To review official engineering specifications and telecommunications cabling standards for Category 6A infrastructure, consult the TIA Telecommunications Industry Association Cabling Standards Directory.
