OverviewThe D-Link Cat6 Outdoor Copper Cable is engineered for rugged outdoor installations while delivering high performance in demanding network environments. Designed to support Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) and comply with Cat6 standards, this cable brings stable, high-speed connectivity to external runs—whether between buildings, to outdoor network devices, or along aerial or buried paths. With UV-resistant, weatherproof outer jackets and robust internal construction, it’s ideal for long-term use outside.Key FeaturesFeatureDescriptionSolid Bare Copper Conductor (23 AWG)Uses high-purity solid copper wires to minimize resistance and signal loss over long runs.High Bandwidth Support (up to 250 MHz)Meets or exceeds Cat6 requirements for data transmission at gigabit speeds. its.dlink.co.in 1Outdoor-rated Jacket & SheathDual-layer construction with UV-resistant PE or PVC outer sheath, inner PVC or intermediate jacket to protect against moisture, sun exposure, and temperature swings. its.dlink.co.in 2dlinkmea.com 2Weather and UV ResistanceDesigned to withstand outdoor exposure, with materials that resist UV degradation and environmental stress. its.dlink.co.in 2store.teamtechsoul.com 24-Pair Twisted-Pair (UTP or FTP Variants)Standard 4-pair twisted design reduces crosstalk. Some variants may include foil shielding (FTP) for additional protection in electrically noisy environments. dlinkmea.com 2store.teamtechsoul.com 2PE Separator / Cross-FillerMany versions include a polyethylene central cross or separator to increase pair isolation and maintain consistent performance. dlinkmea.com 1Standards ComplianceExceeds TIA/EIA-568-C.2, ISO/IEC 11801, and RoHS compliance. its.dlink.co.in 2its.dlink.co.in 2Meter Marking and Pull Box PackagingMany rolls are sequentially marked per meter and shipped in convenient pull-boxes for easier deployment. its.dlink.co.in 1Technical SpecificationsBelow is a typical specification set.
