Know before you buy
Yes. The cable features a CMX-rated jacket that is sunlight-resistant and approved for direct burial, making it suitable for both temporary mobile setups and permanent outdoor deployments.
The etherCON connectors are designed with a rugged metal shell that houses a standard RJ45 plug. You can use them with standard RJ45 jacks, though the locking mechanism will only engage when connected to a compatible etherCON-style chassis.
Yes, this Cat6A cable is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e components. While you will gain the benefits of the higher-grade shielding and durability, your network speeds will be limited by the lowest-rated device in your signal chain.
Tactical grade refers to the cable's construction, which uses stranded conductors and a heavy-duty jacket designed to withstand repeated coiling, uncoiling, and physical abuse. It is built to maintain signal integrity in high-traffic environments where standard installation cables would likely fail.
Absolutely. This cable is specifically engineered to exceed Cat6A standards, providing the bandwidth and shielding necessary to reliably carry HDBaseT, AES67 audio, and high-bitrate IP video signals over its 300-foot length.
The cable comes loaded on a premium professional-grade reel designed for easy deployment and retrieval. It is built to handle the weight of the 300-foot cable while keeping it organized and protected during transit.
