Cat6 Direct Burial Outdoor Ethernet Cable 1000ft - High Performance

In this review the fast Cat. 1000ft Cat6 direct burial cable proves to be a solid choice for installers and IT pros who need long runs of reliable outdoor networking without shielding. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of 23AWG solid bare copper conductors and a PVC cross separator, which together deliver improved conductivity and reduced crosstalk for stable PoE++ power and high-speed data across long distances.

Key Features

• 23AWG solid copper: 100% certified solid bare copper conductors give higher conductivity and tensile strength for consistent signal over long runs.
• Direct burial rated: Jacket and construction are designed to be used underground without frequent replacements, making it suitable for permanent outdoor installations.
• PVC cross separator: Four twisted pairs separated by a plastic core reduce crosstalk for clearer, uninterrupted data transmission.
• High frequency performance: Rated to perform up to 550MHz, which exceeds many Cat6 cables and supports 10 gigabit class links at compatible distances.
• PoE++ capable: Unshielded design supports PoE++ (4PPoE) delivery, useful for powering cameras, access points, and other remote devices.
• Traceable certification: CSA and ETL certified with lot tracking and compliance marks for quality and regulatory assurance.

Who It's For

The cable is aimed at network installers, security integrators, and facilities teams who run long outdoor or underground ethernet runs and need durable, high-conductivity wiring that supports PoE++ devices. Its smooth payout from the box and heavy-duty core make it practical for single-person install jobs or long conduit pulls.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who require shielded cable for high EMI environments or installers who need pre-terminated patch cables; this offering is an unshielded, bulk reel intended for field termination and direct burial use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid 23AWG bare copper improves signal quality and durability over long distances.
• Plastic cross flexi-core reduces crosstalk for clearer network performance.
• High frequency rating to 550MHz and PoE++ support cover demanding network needs.
• Box and packaging include slash-proof protection and lot traceability for peace of mind.

Cons

• As an unshielded cable, it may not be ideal in areas with heavy electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is preferred.
• Some users report mixed long-term durability experiences, so professional installation and proper burial practices are important.

Our Verdict

The fast Cat. 1000ft Cat6 direct burial cable is a practical, high-value option for outdoor and underground network deployments that need strong conductivity and PoE++ capability. It is particularly good for installers who terminate in the field and want a durable, low-crosstalk UTP cable; those needing shielded protection or prefabricated leads should consider alternative products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this cable be buried directly in the ground?
Yes, it is sold as a direct burial rated Cat6 cable designed for underground use when installed according to best practices.

Does it support PoE and high-power PoE++ devices?
Yes, the cable supports PoE++ (4PPoE) and is suitable for powering cameras and access points that require higher power delivery.

Is the conductor copper or CCA?
The conductor is 23AWG 100% certified solid bare copper, not copper clad aluminum.
