Cat6 Shielded Direct Burial Ethernet Cable is built for dependable, long term performance in demanding outdoor networking installations. Manufactured with 24 AWG solid 100% bare copper conductors, this premium cable features an overall foil shield (F/UTP) and drain wire to help reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), delivering cleaner signal transmission for Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet at shorter channel lengths, PoE, PoE+, PoE++, IP cameras, wireless access points, and other critical outdoor network devices.
Designed to withstand the elements, the gel filled waterproof core blocks moisture intrusion while the sunlight and UV resistant polyethylene CMX jacket protects against rain, snow, extreme temperatures, and prolonged sun exposure. The cable is approved for direct burial without conduit, helping reduce installation time and costs while providing years of dependable performance underground. An integrated cross filler maintains proper pair geometry to reduce crosstalk and improve signal integrity up to 400 MHz, ensuring fast, stable network connections over long distances.
Whether you're connecting detached buildings, installing security cameras, extending outdoor WiFi, or running Ethernet to gates, poles, or industrial equipment, Elite Cable Cat6 Shielded Direct Burial Cable delivers the durability, shielding, and performance professionals rely on. Manufactured to meet ANSI/TIA 568.2 D and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, It is the ideal choice for installers, businesses, and homeowners looking for a durable outdoor Ethernet cable that delivers reliable high speed connectivity, long term durability, and dependable performance in even the toughest outdoor environments.

Â
Q: What does F/UTP mean?
A: F/UTP stands for Foiled Unshielded Twisted Pair. The cable features an overall foil shield surrounding all four twisted pairs to help reduce electromagnetic interference while the individual pairs remain unshielded.
Q: Why should I choose shielded Ethernet cable instead of unshielded cable?
A: Shielded Ethernet cable is recommended when the cable is installed near electrical wiring, motors, lighting, or other sources of electromagnetic interference. The foil shield helps maintain stable network performance in electrically noisy environments.
Q: What is the drain wire used for?
A: The drain wire provides a convenient grounding path for the foil shield, helping unwanted electrical noise flow safely to ground for improved shielding performance.
Q: What is the benefit of gel filled cable?
A: The gel filled core helps prevent moisture from traveling through the cable if the outer jacket is damaged, providing additional protection and improving long term reliability in direct burial installations.
Q: Can this cable be installed in conduit?
A: Yes. Although this cable is rated for direct burial, it may also be installed inside conduit when additional mechanical protection is desired or required by local building codes.
Q: What is the maximum distance this cable can be run?
A: When properly installed and terminated, Cat6 cable supports channel lengths of up to 328 feet or 100 meters for Gigabit Ethernet in accordance with ANSI TIA standards.
Q: Why are solid bare copper conductors important?
A: Solid bare copper conductors provide lower resistance, stronger signal transmission, and improved PoE performance compared to copper clad aluminum cable, making them the preferred choice for permanent Ethernet installations.
Q: What is the purpose of the cross filler?
A: The internal cross filler helps maintain proper spacing between the twisted pairs, reducing crosstalk and supporting stable network performance.
Q: Can this cable be used with PoE devices?
A: Yes. This cable supports PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ applications, making it suitable for IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, access control systems, and other powered network devices.
Q: What connectors should I use with this cable?
A: For the best shielding performance, we recommend using shielded Cat6 RJ45 connectors, shielded keystone jacks, and other compatible shielded networking components.
Q: What applications is this cable commonly used for?
A: This cable is commonly used for outdoor network installations, IP security cameras, wireless access points, gate controllers, building to building Ethernet connections, outdoor network extensions, and other direct burial networking applications where shielding is beneficial.
Q: Is this cable suitable for professional installations?
A: Yes. This Cat6 shielded direct burial cable is trusted by network installers, electrical contractors, IT professionals, and system integrators for residential and commercial outdoor networking projects.
