NavePoint CAT5e UTP Outdoor Direct Burial LDPE Cable 1000 FT Black

Outdoor Direct Burial Cable

NavePoint CAT5e UTP cable is built for permanent outdoor installation and comes in a 1000 ft pull box. The black double jacket uses UV-rated PVC and polyethylene to resist sunlight and moisture. It is intended for installers running custom network links between buildings or to remote equipment. The solid copper conductors suit fixed infrastructure rather than frequent patching.

Upgrade From Indoor Patch Cable

Standard indoor patch cords lack the sheathing needed for burial or long-term sun exposure and will degrade quickly in those conditions. This cable replaces them when the run must go underground or along exterior walls without conduit. The jump is worth it whenever the path leaves a climate-controlled space and the installer needs a single cable rated for the entire distance.

CAT5e Performance Limits

The CAT5e standard supports up to 1 Gigabit per second over 100 metres, so longer runs or multi-gigabit gear will not reach their rated speed on this cable. The 24 AWG solid conductors also make the cable stiffer than stranded alternatives, which can complicate tight bends or termination in dense panels. Buyers needing higher bandwidth or tighter bend radii should specify a different category.
