Is this cable shielded? Is it rated for outdoor direct bury?

It is not shielded. It is crappy cable, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. Try monoprice.com

Hi Jamie No the cable is not shielded nor is it rated for direct burial. Keep in mind shielded CAT6 is very expensive, and unless it really need for your application, such as around extremely high voltage transformer or power feed cables, it isn't need in a office/home environment. Last time I did a job in NJ at a power substation I paid $899 per 1000' spool. Secondly if you are going to be burying the cable I would suggest using Grey PVC conduit, a roll of non-metalic water tight conduit; then you wouldn't have to worry about the cable being outdoor rated or a need for shielded. Also be sure to check with your local building department for low voltage regulations, and call for a underground mark out for utilities.

No and no. I agree w/ Don; use water tight electrical conduit if you need to bury it. That's what I'm going to do when I run it out to my gate intercom system.

Agree with everyone about direct bury. However, while it's not shielded, it's twisted pair and the twisting and 2-wire differential voltage transmission significantly reduces (or compensates for) electrical magnetic (EM) interference--which is what shielding is also for. So, for homes and businesses, you dont need shielding.

I would not recommend it, you will have to get one that is rated weather resistant, this cable after I installed it didn't work to begin with so I would look into a different one.

You can use the cable outside, but it's a must that you use protective housing to guard it from the elements.

Short answer: No. Will it work - yes. Is it a good idea - no. It's not rated for anything other than low voltage work, and it's NOT rated for direct burial.

The cable can be used outdoor is not exposed to directly sun or rain. Or it can be used within a hose for protection.

I don't know about shielded but I'll bet Fluke tech support knows. I'm pretty sure it will tone coax cable which is shielded of course. You could use the toner attached to the shield. That would effectively remove the shield as an issue.

If it were rated, it would say so. Direct Burial cable is normally armored.

Yes, it's my understanding this wire is rated to be buried in the ground. I buried mine several months ago and have had no problems.

Not sure what you mean by shielded but the cable has a rubber cover. Hope this helps.

Yes, but not outdoors in the elements, the cable is not rated for outdoor and underground... and if it will be bent drastically while that cold it may still not be suitable.

Scott, I do not believe that this wiring is rated for any such conditions as running it in areas where it is constantly exposed to adverse conditions. (Although I don't know this for a fact.) I do know that I personally went through quite a few sets of these leads due to damage of different sorts until I got wise enough to protect them in wire conduit, flex, or other wire raceways. My suggestion would be to use a different type of cables like a RG-59 coax combined with a bigger gauge power lead for any critical areas that might be exposed to bad conditions. (This is assuming that you have a little more room for wall penetrations, etc. because this other cable is quite a bit larger in diameter.) But they are rated for all adverse conditions without extra layers of protection needed, however these cables are not available from Amazon and are readily available from other sources. These bigger cables are what the professional security companies use whenever they are not installing a completely wireless system. Remember that these "videoSecu" or cables work just fine in ideal conditions BUT as I have stated in my review--------These cables are at most a bare-bones minimum gauge and insulation to get the job done. And I am a electrical contractor that knows wire and it's properties. I hope that this is of some help to you. NOTE: The other cables are more expensive but worth every penny if you are installing in exposed conditions or areas where possible damage due to temperature, U.V. rays, constant high humidity or wetness conditions exist.

This is a good cable for weather exposure, direct burial, etc. Good anywhere but this type has an advantage when exposed to weather or moisture. Assuming your phone company gives you a good connection on their end, this cable should work just fine.

if you are asking if the cable is shielded, yes it is. it has a durable exterior that resists abrasion and a foil shielding for EM. it does not appear to be UV protected so it may not be used in unfiltered sunlight.

The cable is not shielded, it's rated in/outdoor because of the material that is made to resist high temps, I use this cable to connect floors on my town home, The shielded term refers to the protection against electromagnetic interference produced by power lines, electric motors, fluorescent lights, thermostats, and electrical circuits which are found in just about everything these days. If you are running in wall near a power line you may get EMI or noise on the line. If this is for a regular use line then you should be more than fine with this cable if the run you are trying to get is critical than you should consider shielded but remember that the connector will also need to be shielded in order to take advantage of it.

It is for multi strand phone cable.... so it will not work with shielded coax.

If this is for a residential installation it doesn't matter since this is a low voltage cable as most low volt cables are compliant in residential homes. If this is for a commercial building then it will need to be plenum rated which this cable is not, so it is not suitable for commercial application.

Yes. It is designed for direct burial in the ground but putting it in pvc conduit is the best way for it to last the longest. I always put it in conduit. Just make sure you do not pull to hard and stretch the cable. Bigger conduit is better. Wire lube in bends helps as well.
