KEY FEATURES
Here’s what makes the 059-488/CMXF25P ideal for high-capacity outdoor and direct burial installations:
- 25-Pair High-Density Construction: 50 conductors (25 twisted pairs) provide multiple network circuits in a single cable pull.
- 350 MHz High-Performance Rating: Supports 10/100/1000BASE-T applications for reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
- Gel-Flooded Core: Waterproof gel filling prevents moisture ingress and longitudinal water migration for superior wet location protection.
- UTP Unshielded Design: Simplified termination without grounding requirements while maintaining reliable performance.
- 24 AWG Solid Bare Copper Conductors: Annealed copper conductors deliver reliable signal transmission and PoE power delivery.
- UV-Resistant LLDPE Outer Jacket: Black jacket withstands prolonged sun exposure without degradation.
- Direct Burial Construction: Engineered for underground installation without conduit.
- PoE Compatible: Supports PoE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 for powering outdoor devices.
- Wide Operating Temperature: Performs reliably from -40°F to 167°F (-40°C to 75°C) in extreme conditions.
- Vivid Color-Coded Pairs: Easy-to-see conductor insulation colors enable quick and accurate pair identification.
- CMX Rated: Approved for outdoor use per NEC® requirements.
- Industry Compliant: Exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 specifications; ETL Listed, RoHS compliant.
- Convenient Installation: Includes rip cord and PE tape for easy jacket removal; 1000 ft wooden spool packaging.
APPLICATIONS
The 059-488/CMXF25P CAT5E Direct Burial Cable excels in high-capacity outdoor networking installations:
- Campus Backbone Runs: Connect multiple buildings with a single high-pair-count cable for efficient backbone distribution.
- Multi-Drop Security Systems: Run a single cable to serve multiple IP cameras or access control points from one pull.
- Outdoor PoE Deployments: Power and connect multiple wireless access points, lighting controllers, or IoT devices.
- Industrial Facilities: Provide robust multi-circuit connectivity in factories, refineries, and processing plants.
- Wet Location Underground: Install in direct burial applications where water exposure requires gel-flooded protection.
WHY CHOOSE THE 059-488/CMXF25P CAT5E DIRECT BURIAL CABLE
Professionals choose the 059-488/CMXF25P because it delivers high-capacity outdoor connectivity with superior moisture protection for demanding underground installations. Here are 5 reasons to specify it for your next outdoor project:
- Maximum Moisture Protection – Gel-flooded core prevents water ingress and longitudinal migration, ensuring long-term reliability in wet environments.
- High-Density Multi-Circuit Design – 25 twisted pairs provide up to 6 complete CAT5E channels (4 pairs each) in a single cable pull.
- Complete Outdoor Protection – UV-resistant jacket plus gel flooding provides comprehensive protection for aerial and direct burial applications.
- Pure Copper Performance – 24 AWG solid bare annealed copper conductors deliver consistent signal quality and support PoE Type 3 power delivery.
- Efficient Installation – Single high-pair-count cable reduces labor and conduit requirements compared to multiple 4-pair cable pulls.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Once you’ve specified the 059-488/CMXF25P for your project:
- Plan Your Route – Map underground paths and verify clearance from other utilities before trenching; account for larger bend radius requirements.
- Prepare for Gel Cleanup – Have appropriate gel-cleaning supplies and techniques ready for termination work.
- Use Proper Termination Equipment – Select 25-pair connecting blocks or punch-down equipment rated for multi-pair cables.
- Test After Installation – Verify performance on all pairs with cable certification testing before commissioning the network.
