CAT5e Direct Burial Cable 1000ft - Dual Shielded, 24AWG Solid Copper
Couldn't load pickup availability
Power your outdoor network with our CAT5e Dual-Shield Direct-Burial Ethernet Cable, engineered for robust Gigabit connectivity in the harshest underground environments. Featuring eight 24 AWG solid copper conductors, dual shielding (100% aluminum-mylar foil plus 30% tinned-copper braid), a drain wire, and a UV-stabilized LDPE jacket, this cable ensures interference-free data and PoE performance for campus links, buried camera feeds, and outdoor Wi-Fi access points.
Designed for maximum EMI/RFI protection, this dual-shielded cable (SF/UTP) provides the highest level of interference immunity available—essential for underground runs near high-voltage power lines, industrial equipment, or in extreme EMI environments. The combination of foil and braided shielding eliminates both external interference and alien crosstalk, while the UV-tough LDPE jacket resists sunlight, moisture, and soil acids. Tested to 350MHz and exceeding ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, it delivers unmatched reliability for mission-critical outdoor installations.
