Category 6A direct burial gel-filled network cable featuring a 23 AWG, 4-pair solid bare copper construction with water-blocking gel, internal separator spline, and a UV-rated polyethylene (LDPE) jacket for installation in outdoor plant and underground direct burial applications. Tested to ANSI/TIA 568-C.2 for full 10GBASE-T transmission at 10 Gbps over 500 MHz of bandwidth across the complete 100-meter channel — delivering maximum headroom, bandwidth, and long-term protection against moisture and environmental exposure. The gel filling blocks the entrance and migration of water, while the internal spline stabilizes each pair for superior electrical performance while maintaining flexibility and a clean, round cable profile. Built for extreme operating temperatures (-40°C to 75°C) and Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) applications. Includes an internal rip cord for simplified jacket stripping. Supplied on a 1,000 ft wooden reel.
