Extend your network outdoors with our CAT5e Outdoor Ethernet Cable, engineered for reliable Gigabit performance in harsh weather conditions. Featuring eight 24 AWG solid copper conductors, HDPE insulation, and a UV-stabilized CMX PVC jacket, this unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable ensures durable connectivity for voice, data, video, and security devices, perfect for exterior camera feeds, Wi-Fi access points, and building-to-building links.

Designed specifically for exposed outdoor installations, this CMX-rated cable withstands direct sunlight, rain, temperature extremes, and environmental stress without cracking or degradation. The solid bare copper conductors deliver 350MHz bandwidth exceeding ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, while the UV-stabilized jacket ensures long-term reliability. UL/cUL listed, ETL-verified, and RoHS-compliant, it provides certified quality for professional outdoor networking projects.
