Micro Connectors 1000ft CAT5e Outdoor Direct Burial Ethernet Cable 24AWG UTP Solid Black

SKU CH-K99V-VP9YZ

1000-foot CAT5e direct-burial cable with gel-filled core and UV-resistant jacket for underground Gigabit Ethernet runs up to 100 metres

  • Gigabit Ethernet performance backed by 350 MHz bandwidth
  • 24AWG solid copper conductors minimise signal loss over distance
  • Water-blocking gel core enables direct burial without conduit
  • UV-resistant CMX outdoor jacket withstands sunlight and weather
  • 1000-foot bulk spool supports custom-length installation runs

Outdoor Direct Burial Cable

This 1000-foot bulk spool of CAT5e cable is built for permanent outdoor and underground network runs. The gel-filled core and UV-resistant polyethylene jacket protect the solid copper conductors from moisture, soil, and sunlight without requiring conduit. It suits installers extending connectivity to IP cameras, outbuildings, or remote access points.

Upgrade From Indoor Cable

Standard indoor patch cable lacks the water-blocking gel and CMX-rated jacket needed for direct burial. The jump is worth it whenever the run passes through damp ground, conduit that floods, or exposed exterior walls where UV exposure degrades ordinary PVC. Indoor cable fails in those conditions; this product is specified for them.

Capacity And Headroom

The 24AWG solid copper construction supports Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters with 350 MHz bandwidth headroom. It comfortably handles 1 Gbps links for surveillance, building-to-building bridges, and remote switches. Runs beyond 100 meters or applications requiring 10 Gbps exceed the category rating and need a higher-grade cable.

Highlights

  • Gigabit Ethernet performance backed by 350 MHz bandwidth

Questions about this item

How wide a trench or conduit do I need for the 24 AWG solid conductors and gel-filled core?

The 24 AWG solid copper conductors sit inside a gel-filled core wrapped by a UV-resistant polyethylene jacket that is rated for direct burial without conduit; dig the trench to local code depth and lay the cable in.

Which end do I terminate first on a 1000-foot spool to avoid kinking the solid conductors?

Pull the cable from the centre of the spool, run it along the planned route, then terminate the far end first so the remaining length feeds straight without twisting the solid pairs.

How often should I inspect the black polyethylene jacket for UV or moisture damage?

The CMX-rated jacket is designed for permanent burial and continuous sunlight exposure; inspect only if the cable is dug up or exposed by ground movement, otherwise no scheduled checks are required.
