Approved for outdoor use only; has not been rated for indoor use

Only outdoor testing criteria were used for this cable’s approval. This does not mean that it does not meet indoor cabling requirements, but it has not been approved. Please consider this before purchasing.

Doss’ Outdoor CAT6 cable is suitable for installation outdoors, in buried conduits and roof mounted WISP client installations. The water-blocking tape layer is cleaner thangel-based water-blocking layers, making installation mess and hassle free!

  • Water-blocking tape rather than messy gel
  • U/​UTP, 23 AWG solid bare copper
  • CMX Outdoor; sunlight-resistant
  • Cross-filler retains cable geometry and pair separation
