FAQ
What is non-shielded outdoor Category 6 UTP cable used for?
Non-shielded Category 6 cable is used to support Ethernet and telephony communication in outdoor and harsh environment installations. These cables are commonly deployed in campus networks, LAN infrastructure, and aerial or direct-burial applications where environmental resistance is required. Common applications include outdoor Ethernet networks, campus networking, LAN infrastructure, PoE and PoE+ systems, and aerial Ethernet installations.
What conductor sizes are available for outdoor Category 6 UTP cable?
Designed as unshielded twisted pair cables, our Category 6 cable supports four twisted pairs with solid copper conductors. Available constructions include 23 AWG and 24 AWG variants with polyethylene or LLDPE jackets. The solid conductor construction supports standard termination into IDC connectors and is compatible with PoE applications in outdoor Ethernet networks and campus networking installations.
What frequency ratings do outdoor non-shielded Cat6 cables support?
Non-shielded Cat6 cables are rated for operation up to 250 MHz or 550 MHz depending on the model and support a nominal impedance of 100 ohms. These frequency ratings accommodate Category 6 performance requirements for Ethernet and telephony communication in campus networks, LAN infrastructure, and outdoor installations. The 100 ohm nominal impedance ensures compatibility with standard Ethernet equipment and structured cabling infrastructure.
How does the PE jacket protect outdoor Non-shieldedCategory 6 cable?
The PE jacket protects outdoor non-shielded Category 6 cable by providing resistance to moisture and UV exposure, making it suitable for aerial, campus, and exterior building runs. Polyethylene and LLDPE jacket materials are selected for their environmental resistance properties in harsh outdoor installations. This jacket construction supports long-term performance in aerial Ethernet installations, direct-burial applications, and campus networking deployments experiencing continuous outdoor environmental exposure.
What length is outdoor non-shieldedcategory 6 cable supplied in?
The non-shielded category 6 cables are supplied in 1,000-foot continuous lengths to support large-scale installations. The 1,000-foot reel length accommodates campus networks, LAN infrastructure, and aerial or direct-burial applications requiring extended cable runs. Bulk cable delivery in continuous lengths supports custom termination and installation requirements for outdoor Ethernet networks, PoE systems, and campus networking infrastructure projects.
Is outdoor non-shielded category 6 cablescompatible with PoE applications?
The non-shielded category 6 cables support standard termination into IDC connectors and are compatible with PoE applications. The solid copper conductor construction and four twisted pair design support PoE and PoE+ power delivery requirements in outdoor Ethernet networks and campus networking installations. The outdoor-rated PE or LLDPE jackets maintain performance in aerial and direct-burial PoE deployments where environmental resistance is required.
