Frequently Asked Questions
What is direct burial cable and why do I need it?
Direct burial cable is specifically designed to be installed underground without protective conduit. The reinforced PVC jacket resists moisture, UV exposure, and soil chemicals. Use direct burial cable for outdoor runs, underground installations, and areas where conduit isn't practical or cost-effective.
Can I use regular Cat6 cable instead of direct burial Cat6?
Regular Cat6 cable will degrade quickly when exposed to outdoor elements and underground moisture. Direct burial cable features enhanced jacket protection and UV resistance, ensuring long-term reliability. For outdoor applications, direct burial-rated cable is essential for performance and longevity.
How far can I run this Cat6 direct burial cable?
Cat6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) up to 100 meters (328 feet) with minimal signal loss. For 10 Gigabit speeds, the distance reduces to approximately 55 meters (180 feet). The solid 23AWG conductors in this cable minimize attenuation, maximizing usable distance for your network.
Is the 1000-foot reel format suitable for my project?
The 1000-foot reel is ideal for large installations, telecommunications projects, and bulk deployments. It reduces per-foot material costs compared to shorter spools and minimizes waste. For smaller projects, you can purchase only the footage needed and store the remainder for future use.
