This CAT6 direct burial cable features 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors with F/UTP foil shielding, a gel-flooded core for moisture resistance, and a UV-resistant LLDPE jacket.

KEY FEATURES

Here’s what makes the 069-558/S/CMXF ideal for direct burial and outdoor installations:

23 AWG Solid Bare Annealed Copper: Eight solid copper conductors (4 pairs) deliver consistent signal transmission and optimal PoE power delivery.
550 MHz Bandwidth: Supports Gigabit Ethernet with headroom for demanding network applications.
Full PoE++ Type 4 Support: Supports IEEE 802.3bt up to 100W for powering high-wattage outdoor devices like PTZ cameras and wireless access points.
F/UTP Foil Shielding: Overall aluminum foil shield provides superior EMI/RFI protection for noise-sensitive outdoor environments.
Gel-Flooded Core: Waterproof gel filling blocks moisture ingress for reliable underground performance.
Tinned Copper Drain Wire: 0.016 in. (0.40 mm) drain wire ensures proper shield grounding for optimal noise rejection.
UV-Resistant LLDPE Jacket: Linear low-density polyethylene jacket withstands prolonged sun exposure and outdoor conditions.
LDPE Separator: Low-density polyethylene spline maintains pair geometry for excellent crosstalk performance.
Wide Operating Temperature: Rated for operation from -40°F to +167°F (-40°C to +75°C) for extreme environments.
Nylon Ripcord: Easy jacket removal for efficient termination.
CMX Outdoor Rated: Meets NEC requirements for outdoor and direct burial installations.
ETL-Listed and RoHS Compliant: Third-party verified for safety and environmental compliance.
1000 ft Wooden Spool: Professional spool packaging for efficient outdoor installations.

APPLICATIONS

The 069-558/S/CMXF CAT6 direct burial cable excels in outdoor and underground network installations:

Campus Networks: Run underground cables between buildings on corporate, educational, or medical campuses.
Outdoor Security Systems: Connect IP cameras, access control systems, and surveillance equipment in parking lots and perimeters.

WHY CHOOSE THE 069-558/S/CMXF CAT6 DIRECT BURIAL CABLE?

Professionals choose the 069-558/S/CMXF because it delivers verified Gigabit performance with complete waterproof protection, F/UTP shielding, and full PoE++ Type 4 support for demanding outdoor installations. Here are 5 reasons to specify it for your next project:

Complete Waterproof Protection – Gel-flooded core blocks moisture ingress for reliable long-term underground performance without conduit.
Superior EMI Protection – F/UTP aluminum foil shield with tinned copper drain wire protects against electromagnetic interference in outdoor environments.
Extreme Temperature Rating – Operates from -40°F to +167°F for reliable performance in harsh climates and extreme weather conditions.
Full PoE++ Type 4 Support – Supports IEEE 802.3bt up to 100W for powering outdoor devices without separate power infrastructure.
UV-Resistant Jacket – LLDPE jacket withstands prolonged sun exposure for above-ground outdoor runs and transitions.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Once you’ve specified the 069-558/S/CMXF for your project:

Plan Burial Depth – Follow local codes for minimum burial depth; typically 6–24 inches depending on jurisdiction and conduit use.
Clean Gel at Termination – Remove gel compound from conductors before terminating; use appropriate gel cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
Ground the Shield – Ensure proper drain wire termination and grounding at patch panels for optimal EMI protection.
Use Weatherproof Enclosures – Protect termination points with weatherproof junction boxes or outdoor-rated enclosures.
