Direct Burial Solid Shielded Cat5e is used for applications that require the cable to be outdoors or in direct sunlight. Direct burial Shielded Cat5e is made with a polyethylene (PE) to protect the cable from water, and extreme temperatures. Internally an overall foil shield protects the cable from electromagnetic or radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI). Four color-striped pairs make it easy to install and reduces alien crosstalk. This bulk cable in an easy-pull box can be measured and cut to exact distances, then terminated to a connector, jack, or patch panel.
