Axis Communications 5502-731 Cat6 Outdoor Patch Cable

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 5502-731 is a Cat6 outdoor-rated patch cable designed to carry network data between IP devices in exterior or weather-exposed installations. At 16.4 feet in length, it provides a reliable Ethernet connection for surveillance cameras, access control panels, and other networked equipment mounted outdoors. The cable is finished in black and is sold individually. It is suited for installers running structured cabling or connecting field devices where indoor-rated cables are not appropriate for the environment.

This cable is used in commercial and residential security and networking installations where a short outdoor-rated Cat6 run is needed. Typical applications include connecting IP cameras to junction boxes, PoE switches, or network enclosures in covered exterior locations. Security and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers for this product.

Key Features

• Cat6 outdoor-rated construction suitable for exterior installations

Compatibility

Designed as an outdoor-rated Cat6 patch cable for use with standard RJ45 network ports on IP cameras, switches, access control devices, and other Ethernet-capable equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or data cabling technician in accordance with applicable local codes and TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down any PoE-connected devices before disconnecting or connecting the cable. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and use appropriate weatherproof fittings or conduit where the cable transitions from exterior to interior runs.
