Thinkstar CAT6 Outdoor Ethernet Cable 23 AWG 500FT 1000FT CCA

SKU CH-C15B-EN4HH

Outdoor-rated CAT6 bulk cable with 23 AWG CCA conductors for direct burial, supporting up to 10 Gbps and 550 MHz over 500 or 1000 ft lengths

  • Reliable outdoor networking with direct-burial 23 AWG construction
  • High-speed data up to 10 Gbps supported by 550 MHz bandwidth
  • Durable black jacket resists water, UV and electromagnetic interference
  • Flexible deployment in 500 or 1000 foot bulk lengths
  • Broad compatibility across CAT5, CAT5e and CAT6 network standards

Outdoor Direct-Burial Cable

This Thinkstar CAT6 cable uses 23 AWG copper-clad aluminium conductors built for direct burial. The black jacket resists water, ultraviolet light and electromagnetic interference. It supports transmission frequencies up to 550 MHz and speeds up to 10 Gbps. Installers running long outdoor links between buildings or to remote cameras will find the bulk lengths practical.

Thermals Noise and Power

The passive cable generates no heat, produces no noise and draws no power during normal operation. Signal quality depends on the 23 AWG CCA construction and the shielded or unshielded variants described in the title. Outdoor temperature swings and moisture are handled by the waterproof jacket. No active cooling or external supply is required.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous 10 Gbps throughput the conductors remain within CAT6 performance limits up to 550 MHz. The aluminium core has higher resistance than solid copper, so voltage drop increases on very long runs. The UV-stable jacket prevents degradation during multi-year exposure. Buyers needing Power over Ethernet should verify current limits for CCA before committing.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 23 AWG direct burial cable and what step do people miss?

Lay the cable in a trench at the proper depth for direct burial, then seal both ends with waterproof boots or gel caps — the step most installers skip is sealing the terminations, which lets moisture wick into the conductors.

What maintenance or replacement will this CCA cable need later?

Copper-clad aluminium conductors fatigue faster than solid copper, so plan to re-terminate any connector ends that see repeated flexing or temperature cycling, and inspect the jacket annually for UV cracking.

What limit appears first on a 1000 ft run under sustained 10 Gbps traffic?

At 1000 ft the 23 AWG CCA loop resistance exceeds the Cat 6 channel budget, so signal attenuation and DC resistance will degrade 10 Gbps throughput before the 550 MHz rating becomes the bottleneck.
