CAT6 outdoor aerial cable is a professional-grade network cable specifically engineered for above-ground installation, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of outdoor environments while delivering high-performance data transmission. Unlike indoor CAT6 cables, which use standard PVC jackets suitable for controlled spaces, outdoor aerial CAT6 cables feature a robust, UV-stabilized polyethylene (PE) jacket that resists degradation from sunlight, rain, snow, and extreme temperature fluctuations ranging from -15°C to 75°C. A key structural feature of this cable is the integrated galvanized steel messenger wire, which provides exceptional tensile strength (up to 1370 MPa) and enables self-supporting installations across pole-to-pole spans of up to 70 meters without sagging or mechanical fatigue, making it ideal for campus backbones, building-to-building connections, and remote outdoor networking.
Internally, the cable consists of 4 pairs of 23 AWG solid bare electrolytic copper conductors, each insulated with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and twisted at different pitches to minimize near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and alien crosstalk (ANEXT), ensuring signal integrity. It supports a maximum bandwidth of 250 MHz, enabling data transmission speeds of up to 1 Gbps over 100 meters and 10 Gbps over shorter distances (≤55 meters), while also being compatible with PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ to power outdoor devices like security cameras and Wi-Fi 6 access points. Compliant with ANSI/TIA-568-D.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, this cable is RoHS-compliant and features sequential length markers for accurate installation measurements, supplied on rugged reels for easy outdoor deployment. Its heavy-duty construction outperforms copper-clad aluminum (CCA) alternatives, making it a reliable choice for mission-critical outdoor applications such as perimeter surveillance, agricultural site connectivity, and industrial facility networking.
