The OUTDOOR CAT6e (NETEX) is a professional-grade Ethernet cable engineered for exterior network installations that demand durability and reliable signal transmission. Whether you're connecting outbuildings, installing outdoor IP security cameras, setting up wireless access points in gardens, or running cable between building floors, this outdoor-rated Cat6e delivers consistent performance in challenging environmental conditions.
Built for Extreme Weather Conditions
The UV-resistant LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) outer jacket is specifically formulated to withstand prolonged exposure to direct sunlight without drying, cracking, or becoming brittle . Unlike standard indoor network cables that degrade rapidly outdoors, the Netex OUTDOOR CAT6e maintains its structural integrity across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +75°C, ensuring year-round reliability in any climate .
Superior Signal Transmission
Featuring 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors (4 twisted pairs), this cable provides better conductivity and lower signal attenuation compared to CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) alternatives . The tightly twisted pair design reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, delivering clean, uninterrupted data transmission at frequencies up to 600MHz—significantly exceeding standard Cat6 requirements.
Waterproof and Direct Burial Capable
The rugged LDPE jacket is waterproof, allowing the cable to be buried directly in the ground without the need for conduit in many installations . The double-layer construction (inner PVC insulation + outer LDPE jacket) provides enhanced protection against moisture ingress, making it suitable for underground runs, outdoor aerial installations, and damp environments.
High-Speed Network Performance
With a bandwidth capacity of 600MHz, the Netex OUTDOOR CAT6e supports:
Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) at full 100-meter runs
10-Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances (30-55 meters)
Full backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat6 standards
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Support
The solid copper conductors efficiently carry Power over Ethernet, allowing you to power IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE devices through the same cable that carries data. This eliminates the need for separate power runs, simplifying installations and reducing costs.
Ideal Applications:
Outdoor IP Security Cameras: Reliable video surveillance in parking lots, building perimeters, and entryways
Building-to-Building Connections: Extend your network to detached garages, workshops, guest houses, or outbuildings
Outdoor Wi-Fi Access Points: Power and connect mesh nodes or outdoor APs in gardens, courtyards, or campus settings
Digital Signage: Connect outdoor advertising displays and information kiosks
Industrial Environments: Warehouses, factories, and other facilities where standard indoor cable would fail
Fiber Optic Alternative: Cost-effective solution for shorter outdoor runs where fiber may be overkill
Installation Recommendations:
Direct Burial: Trench at least 6-12 inches deep; consider conduit for additional protection in rocky or high-traffic areas
Aerial Installation: Use a supporting messenger wire or UV-resistant cable ties; avoid excessive tension on the cable itself
Conduit Installation: Standard PVC or metal conduit provides additional protection; the LDPE jacket is compatible with most conduit types
Termination: Use outdoor-rated RJ45 connectors with weather-sealed boots or gel-filled junction boxes to prevent moisture entry at connection points
Netex Quality Assurance
Netex is known for producing reliable, standards-compliant cabling products. This OUTDOOR CAT6e cable is RoHS, CE, and REACH certified , ensuring it meets stringent environmental and safety standards.
Available Formats:
Bulk Spool (305M / 1000ft): For custom length installations and professional use
Pre-terminated (Various Lengths): For quick, plug-and-play installations (available in 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 30m, 50m)
What's Included:
OUTDOOR CAT6e NETEX Cable (length as ordered)
(For bulk orders: Cable only, connectors sold separately)
Important Notes:
For pre-terminated variants, verify RJ45 connector type (shielded vs. unshielded) and boot design before ordering
For direct burial, ensure the cable is rated specifically for that purpose; this variant typically is
Use gel-filled or weather-sealed junction boxes for above-ground terminations to prevent water wicking into the cable
Whether you're a professional installer or a DIY enthusiast, the OUTDOOR CAT6e (NETEX) delivers the durability, speed, and reliability needed for long-lasting outdoor network installations.
