Cat6 External Ethernet Cable – Key Features

• Outdoor-grade jackets: PE or HDPE sheaths for UV resistance and weather protection.
• Multiple formats: cut-to-length, fixed 50m / 100m runs, and full 305m reels.
• Direct burial options: HDPE-jacketed cable suitable for underground ducts and protected outdoor routes.
• Armoured choices: SWA Cat6 for high-risk or mechanically exposed routes (see Cat6 Armoured range).
• Pre-made patch leads: ready-terminated outdoor Cat6 patch cables for quick installs between buildings.

Typical Uses

• Linking houses to garden offices, garages, workshops or sheds.
• Outdoor CCTV and security camera runs.
• External links between buildings on the same site.
• Permanent outdoor network routes where Wi-Fi is not reliable enough.

Choosing the right Cat6 external cable:

• UTP PE external: good all-round choice for most outdoor runs above ground or in conduit.
• FTP / shielded: better near power lines, machinery or areas with electrical interference.
• Direct burial (HDPE): for underground ducts and harsher outdoor routes.
• SWA armoured: when extra mechanical protection is needed (paths, car parks, shared access areas).
