DRAKA Cat.7 Installation Cable UC 900 SS23 PE Outdoor Direct Burial AWG 23 50m Black 60015269

For network installers and system integrators laying high-speed data lines in challenging outdoor environments, the DRAKA Cat.7 Installation Cable UC 900 SS23 delivers dependable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance with rugged direct-burial construction. This 50-meter reel of solid copper S/FTP cable is engineered to withstand moisture, UV exposure, and temperature swings, making it a go-to choice for connecting buildings, IP cameras, and outdoor access points without conduit.

Key specifications

• Category 7 (Class F) performance, 600 MHz bandwidth, 10GBASE-T support
• S/FTP shielding: individual foil per pair plus overall braid for superior noise immunity
• Solid bare copper conductors, AWG 23, 4 pairs (8 wires)
• PE (polyethylene) jacket, black, UV and water resistant, suitable for direct burial
• Length: 50 meters on a reel
• Impedance: 100 Ohm; complies with ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, TIA/EIA-568-C.2
• Operating temperature: -20°C to +60°C

Why choose it

This cable is built for longevity in outdoor and underground installations. The PE jacket resists moisture and sunlight, preventing degradation over time, while the S/FTP shielding ensures clean signal integrity even near power lines or other interference sources. Its solid copper construction supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 10 Gbps, making it future-proof for high-bandwidth devices.

Ideal use cases

• Direct burial between buildings on a campus or industrial site
• Outdoor IP security camera and access point backhaul
• Connecting remote equipment in smart city or IoT deployments
• Long-distance 10GBASE-T runs in harsh environments

Good to know

The cable is supplied on a 50-meter reel, convenient for pulling and storing. It is not pre-terminated, so you will need RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks rated for Cat.7. Always follow local codes for direct burial depth and consider using a protective conduit if the soil is rocky or subject to frequent digging.
