Our kenable Cat6 FTP outdoor cable is designed with FULL COPPER 23AWG twisted pairs and is Foil Shielded to ensure any interference is kept under control it also has a drain wire so can be earthed! Our cat 6 FTP cables also have a divider to separate the twisted pairs reducing cross talk. To make digging a trench more efficient, a trencher machine can be rented from the local equipment rental store. Sure, a shovel can be used but it will result in far more mess, take longer and result in a less consistent trench. In the event operating the trencher is beyond your comfort zone, then hire a local handy person with experience. Eye and ear protection are important. Dealing with Above-Ground Scenarios The weatherproof UV Resistant PE sheath allows the cable to be outdoors without eroding over time. Suitable for burying underground mounting to buildings or installing indoors. The 8mm copper cable is more rigid than previous revisions of network cable but easy to install. Are you at risk for a lightning strike? Technically speaking, we all are. Just ask the poor golfer who chose to golf at the wrong time…. yikes!
Its inner film enhances the already weatherproof UV Resistant PE sheath and keeps away any condensation that may build up. Suitable for burying underground mounting to buildings or installing indoors the 7mm copper cable is durable and easy to install delivering gigabit speeds (subject to your network).Minimum trade size recommended is ¾”, and the actual trade size of the conduct you should use is based on the load ratio. See Conduit Fill Chart for Ethernet and Coaxial Cable .
Our range of Cat7 Cables have a double shielding (S/FTP) to eliminate the chance of cross talk and interference from near by devices. These cables are FULL COPPER which is suitable for POE devices such as Access points WIFI Range extenders CCTV or networking switches that need to carry power via the Ethernet cable to a POE port.A rather detailed and extensive blog with installation examples and recommended hardware is found in When Lightning Strikes! Ethernet Data Cable and Lightning Protection . Tips For installations above ground and between two structures , you will need to use shielded Ethernet cable with a messenger built-in or have a pre-installed messenger. A messenger is a high tensile strength steel wire that has been lashed to two or more points. For more on how to actually install messenger wire cable, or a separate messenger, see Cat6 Shielded Aerial Messenger Cable: Up The Ladder You Go!
If you need to use shielded Ethernet cable then by all means install it but be aware that shielded cable carries penalties with it, such as: We recommend to use faceplates with full copper cables as oppose to crimping them for our plates see the QS numbers below: Given the potential pitfalls of shielded cable, it is a good idea to carefully consider your environment. trueCABLE carries a number of CMX rated Ethernet cable types, and further information around selection is found in Selecting the Correct Outdoor Ethernet Cable . Dealing with Direct-Burial ScenariosWe recommend to use punch down style connectors for Solid core cable and not standard crimp ends (these should be used with stranded cables). A question that often comes up is “should I use only shielded cable outside”? The short answer is no. The longer answer is “it depends on the environment”. The purpose of cable shielding is to ward off EMI/RFI or ESD. The shielding, usually in the form of foil referred to as FTP (Foil Twisted Pair), will be accompanied by a ESD ground/drain wire as well. Generally, I recommend using unshielded cabling unless there is a valid need for shielded, such as when burying the cable within 8” of electrical wire on parallel runs. The other primary reason to use shielded is for ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) drain off such as when running outdoor Ethernet cable above ground in structure-to-structure scenarios. ESD build up occurs with dry air movement across cabling, and could ruin your network equipment if not allowed to discharge to ground. If you’re running shielded Ethernet cable outside between two buildings (buried or not), it is very important to avoid what is known as a ground loop. This situation arises when the building electrical mains have different ground potentials. This can result in voltage injection through the cable if the cable is running to ground at both ends through the different AC grounds. Mitigation strategies can be found in How to Fix a Ground Loop .
