What customers say
Professionals highly regard this cable for its exceptional build quality, making it essential for reliable outdoor networking, especially with PoE devices. Reviewers consistently praise its robust, UV resistant jacket and superior shielding, which effectively guards against ESD damage. Its durability stands up remarkably well against harsh weather where lesser cables fail. While the cable is stiffer than standard types, installers accept this trade-off for the enhanced protection and longevity it offers connected equipment. The consensus is that while the initial cost is higher, the resulting long term reliability and reduced service calls provide excellent value for users prioritizing network uptime and performance.
Know before you buy
Yes, the UISP-CABLE-PRO features a durable polyethylene jacket specifically engineered to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, including rain, snow, and UV exposure.
No, this is a bulk 1000ft reel of cable supplied as bare wire. You will need to purchase compatible RJ45 connectors separately and terminate them to your specific length requirements.
The integrated foil shielding protects your data signals from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD). This is essential for maintaining signal integrity in outdoor environments where electrical noise is more prevalent.
No, this is a Cat.5e cable designed to support data rates up to 1 Gbit/s. If your network infrastructure requires 10Gbps speeds, you should look for Cat.6A or higher cabling.
This cable uses 24AWG solid copper conductors. Solid core wire is the industry standard for long-distance, permanent installations because it offers better signal performance and durability over long runs.
