What Is Direct Burial Ethernet Cable?
Direct burial ethernet cable is specifically designed to be installed underground without the need for additional conduit. It typically features a heavy-duty polyethylene (PE) outer jacket that protects against water ingress, UV exposure and environmental wear.
When Should You Use It?
- Running network cables between buildings
- Installing internet to garden offices or outbuildings
- Underground cable routes where conduit is not practical
- Outdoor environments exposed to moisture and weather
Direct Burial vs External Cable
While standard external ethernet cable is suitable for above-ground use, direct burial cable offers enhanced protection for underground installations. External cable can be used with conduit, but direct burial cable is the preferred option where cables are buried directly in the ground.
