Overview
- The Ubiquiti UniFi Patch Cable Outdoor 8M is purpose-built for outdoor network installations where standard patch cables would fail. Its weatherproof, insulating jacket and internal foil shielding protect against moisture, UV exposure, and environmental degradation, whilst the ESD drain wire safeguards connected equipment from electrostatic discharge damage.
With its shielded RJ45 connector and 8-metre length, this cable is ideal for bridging UniFi access points, switches, and other network devices in outdoor environments. The Category 5e rating ensures reliable data transmission across typical network distances.
When deploying network infrastructure in exposed locations—car parks, rooftops, perimeter fencing, or coastal environments—this cable eliminates the need for conduit or protective sleeving, simplifying installation whilst maintaining durability and performance.

FAQs
What makes the UniFi Patch Cable Outdoor different from standard patch cables?
The UniFi Patch Cable Outdoor features a weatherproof insulating jacket, internal foil shielding, and an ESD drain wire—all designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments. Standard patch cables lack these protective elements and are not suitable for outdoor use.
Can this cable be used indoors?
Yes, the UniFi Patch Cable Outdoor can be used indoors. However, it is specifically engineered for outdoor deployments where weather protection is required.
What does the ESD drain wire do?
The ESD drain wire provides protection against electrostatic discharge damage, which can harm connected network equipment. This is particularly important in outdoor installations where static build-up is more likely.
Is the cable UV-resistant?
The weatherproof, insulating jacket provides protection from UV exposure and environmental elements, making it suitable for prolonged outdoor use.
What lengths are available?
The UniFi Patch Cable Outdoor is available in 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8-metre lengths to suit various installation requirements.
Does this cable work with non-Ubiquiti equipment?
Yes. As a standard Category 5e RJ45 Ethernet cable, it is compatible with any network equipment that uses RJ45 connectors.
