Termination is straightforward with the right tools. Overall, this cable offers outstanding value, delivering professional grade reliability for demanding outdoor networking needs.
Know before you buy
Yes, this cable is outdoor-rated, making it suitable for exterior runs. However, it is designed for non-plenum horizontal wiring and features a CMR riser rating for indoor vertical pathways as well.
No, this specific cable does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). It is intended for standard data transmission applications.
This cable supports speeds up to 1 Gbps (1000 Base-T) with a bandwidth capacity of 350 MHz. It is ideal for standard high-speed network installations.
This cable features 24 AWG solid copper conductors. Solid core wire is the industry standard for permanent, long-distance horizontal network runs because it provides better signal integrity than stranded cable.
Yes, this Tripp Lite cable is TAA-compliant, meaning it meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act for use in government and federal agency projects.
The cable comes in a 1000-foot bulk pull box. This design allows you to dispense the cable easily without tangles, which helps speed up large-scale network deployments.
