CAT6 CMX/CMR Dual-Rated Cable 1000ft - Shielded, 23AWG Solid Copper

Enhance your network reliability with our versatile CAT6 Shielded Indoor/Outdoor Ethernet Cable, engineered for seamless Gigabit connectivity in challenging environments. Featuring heavy-duty 23 AWG solid copper conductors, F/UTP foil shielding with drain wire, and a durable UV-resistant CMX/CMR dual-rated jacket, this high-performance 600MHz Cat6 cable delivers exceptional signal integrity for both exterior and interior installations. Ideal for extending Gigabit Ethernet from poles to patch panels, it withstands harsh weather while maintaining flame-retardant properties for safe in-wall vertical runs.

Designed for maximum versatility, this dual-rated cable provides the flexibility to handle both outdoor (CMX) and indoor riser (CMR) installations with a single cable. The heavy-duty 23AWG conductors offer lower resistance than standard 24AWG, enabling extended PoE reach and superior signal quality, while the foil shielding blocks EMI/RFI interference in electrically noisy environments. With UV-resistant additives that protect against sunlight degradation and a CMR fire rating for vertical runs, it exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards with 600 MHz bandwidth—the ultimate solution for installations transitioning from outdoor to indoor environments.
