Outdoor Direct-Burial Cable

This 1000 ft Cat5E bulk cable is built for outdoor and direct-burial installations. The black PE jacket carries a CMX rating for outside plant use. Solid bare copper conductors and an aluminium foil shield (F/UTP) support gigabit ethernet and fast ethernet runs. Installers who need indoor-only patch cables or pre-terminated assemblies should choose a different product type.

350 MHz Shielded Performance

The F/UTP construction with a drain wire reduces alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in typical outdoor deployments. Attenuation and near-end crosstalk stay within the limits set by TIA 568C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 for 350 MHz bandwidth. Sequential length markings on the jacket simplify pulling and measuring. The solid 24 AWG conductors are not suited for repeated flexing or tight patch-panel bends.

Sustained Outdoor Installation

During long pulls the pull-box packaging pays out smoothly without kinking the solid copper pairs. The PE jacket resists moisture and UV exposure over multi-year direct-burial service. Shield continuity depends on proper termination of the drain wire at both ends. Buyers who require plenum-rated cable for indoor vertical runs must select a CMP-listed alternative.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 24 AWG solid copper F/UTP cable for direct burial and what step do people get wrong?

Lay the cable in a trench at the proper depth for your local code, keeping the black PE jacket intact; the step often missed is bonding the drain wire and foil shield at both ends so the shield actually carries noise to ground.

What maintenance or replacement will this outdoor Cat5E cable need later?

The solid 24 AWG conductors and PE jacket are built for permanent burial; no routine maintenance is required, but if the jacket is cut or crushed during later digging, the damaged section must be replaced because solid wire does not tolerate re-termination well.

What limit shows up first on a 1000 ft run under sustained Gigabit traffic?

At 1000 ft the cable exceeds the 100 m channel limit, so attenuation and return loss will degrade 350 MHz performance before the 155 Mbps or 1 Gbps electronics do.
