Outdoor Cat 6 Ethernet Cable 300 ft

This 300 ft Cat 6 patch cable is built for outdoor and direct burial installations. Shielded construction and UV resistant jacketing protect the conductors from moisture and sunlight. Gold plated RJ45 connectors on both ends provide a secure link for network devices. It suits installers who need a single long run without intermediate joints.

Sustained 1 Gbps Throughput at 250 MHz

The cable maintains up to 1 Gbps data transfer at frequencies up to 250 MHz over the full 300 ft length. Shielding reduces alien crosstalk so performance stays consistent during continuous high volume traffic. Low voltage operation keeps signal integrity stable across temperature swings typical of exterior routing. It is not suited for 10 Gbps backbone links that demand Cat 6a or higher specifications.

Cat 6 Channel Limit at Maximum Length

At 300 ft the run approaches the 100 metre channel limit defined for Cat 6 horizontal cabling. Installers must account for patch cords and equipment cords within the total channel budget to stay compliant. Exceeding the standard length risks insertion loss and return loss failures during certification testing. The product does not support longer spans without intermediate active equipment.

Questions about this item

Does the 300 ft outdoor Cat 6 cable generate heat or draw extra power when run continuously?

No, the shielded Cat 6 patch cable is a passive copper link. It carries data at up to 1 Gbps and 250 MHz without active electronics, so it produces no measurable heat and consumes no power of its own.

What devices or connectors must I already have to use this 300 ft shielded Cat 6 cable?

You need equipment with standard RJ45 ports — such as a router, switch, PoE injector, IP camera or networked PC — on both ends. The cable terminates in gold-plated RJ45 plugs on each side.

Will the 300 ft shielded Cat 6 cable work reliably with older 100 Mbps switches or Cat 5e patch panels I keep in place?

Yes. The cable is fully backward compatible; it will negotiate 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps on legacy 10/100 hardware and fits existing Cat 5e or Cat 6 patch panels via its RJ45 connectors.
