CAT5e Outdoor Shielded Cable 1000ft - CMR/CMX Rated, 24AWG Solid Copper
Couldn't load pickup availability
Ensure long-lasting outdoor connectivity with our CAT5e Direct-Burial Ethernet Cable, engineered for interference-free Gigabit performance in harsh underground environments. Featuring eight 24 AWG solid copper conductors, full-foil shielding with a tinned-copper drain wire, and a UV-resistant PE jacket, this cable delivers reliable data for voice, video, and security devices in buried or conduit installations, perfect for campus links and PoE cameras.
Designed specifically for direct-burial applications, this shielded cable combines waterproof protection with EMI/RFI blocking—essential for underground runs near power lines or in high-interference environments. The foil shield with tinned-copper drain wire ensures error-free packet transmission, while the UV-resistant PE jacket withstands sunlight, moisture, and soil chemistry. Tested to 350MHz and exceeding ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, it delivers dependable Gigabit Ethernet performance for long-term underground installations.
