Whether your project involves data centers, offices or industrial settings, choose from top-rated panels backed by our lifetime warranty.

Not to mention the time, energy, and money you’d be wasting by not using high-quality cables in the first place. Their durable jackets are made to resist intense sunlight and moisture, making sure to deliver a fast and secure network connection for consumers. Never attempt to pull more than 100 feet of Ethernet through the same continuous section of conduit and have no more than two 90 degree bends in any 100 foot section of conduit. Unless there is a known EMI risk posed by electrical cable, simply use unshielded standard outdoor CMX Ethernet cable.

Give serious consideration to Cat5e outdoor unshielded or even shielded (when necessary) to make for a much easier installation.

Copper operates less efficiently at higher temperatures, a situation referred to as attenuation (signal degradation). Whether open-air or buried into the ground, running Ethernet cables outside requires very particular cable selection. This makes our Cat6 Outdoor Ethernet Cable Unshielded the perfect residential indoor/outdoor solution when not direct burying and shielding is not required.
