Network cable STEINMARK CAT6 FTP Outdoor Moisture Resistant 305 m

STEINMARK CAT6 FTP Outdoor Moisture Resistant 305 m is a network cable designed for outdoor and exposed installations requiring Cat6 performance. The cable features foiled twisted-pair (FTP) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and a moisture-resistant outer sheath that protects the conductors from humidity and light weather exposure. Supplied on a 305 m spool, it is intended for long cable runs such as inter-building links, external CCTV, and outdoor network extensions. Proper weatherproofing and appropriate termination hardware are required at connection points to maintain performance and durability.

Advantages

The foiled twisted-pair design provides improved shielding against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain reliable Ethernet signals at higher frequencies. The moisture-resistant outer sheath reduces water ingress and environmental degradation, extending cable life in outdoor conditions. A 305 m spool length minimizes the need for joins in long runs, and the cable is compatible with Cat6 network equipment when terminated correctly.

Suitable for

• Long outdoor Ethernet runs between buildings
• External CCTV camera connections
• Network extensions to outdoor cabinets or access points
• Temporary or permanent outdoor event networking

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (supports Gigabit Ethernet when properly installed)
• Construction: Foiled twisted-pair (FTP)
• Length: 305 meters on a spool
• Outer sheath: Moisture-resistant jacket suitable for outdoor exposure
• Conductor: Multi-stranded or solid copper conductors compatible with Cat6 termination
• Typical impedance: 100 Ω (industry standard for Cat6)

How to use

Plan the cable route to avoid sharp bends and sources of severe mechanical stress. Install the cable along secure supports and use conduit or cable trays where additional mechanical protection is needed. When terminating, strip the outer sheath and foil carefully to expose the pairs without nicking conductors. Use appropriate Cat6 RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks designed for foil-shielded cable and ensure the shield is properly grounded at one point to prevent ground loops. Seal all outdoor terminations, splice points and junction boxes with suitable weatherproofing compounds or boots to protect against moisture.

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, avoid direct burial unless the cable specification explicitly permits it; if direct burial is required, use additional conduit or a purpose-rated direct-burial cable. Verify connector and patch panel compatibility with FTP cable, and perform cable testing after installation to confirm continuity, pair integrity, and performance to Cat6 standards.
