Description
About Outdoor CMX Cables
Outdoor CMX cables are built for installations where exposure to weather, moisture, and temperature shifts is unavoidable. These cables feature durable jackets that resist sunlight, water ingress, and physical wear.
Outdoor CMX cables are commonly used for exterior runs between buildings, perimeter networks, and outdoor access points. Their construction supports long-term reliability without frequent maintenance, making them suitable for permanent outdoor networking projects that demand consistent performance.

Professional Notes |
|
Jacket Material |
LLDPE (Polyethylene) |
UL 444 / CMX Rated |
Unlike PVC, LLDPE won't crack or degrade under direct sunlight or freezing temperatures. |
|
Max Data Speed |
1 Gbps to 10 Gbps |
TIA/EIA-568-C.2 |
Cat5e/Cat6 supports 1 Gbps; Cat6A is required for 10 Gbps at full 100m distance. |
|
Waterproofing |
Gel-Filled or Dry-Tape |
IP67 / IP68 (Field) |
Gel-filled (Icky-Pic) is superior for direct burial as it physically displaces all moisture. |
|
Wire Gauge |
23 AWG - 24 AWG |
ASTM B3 |
Solid Bare Copper is mandatory for outdoor runs to prevent signal attenuation over distance. |
|
UV Resistance |
High-Density UV Inhibitors |
ASTM G154 |
Specifically formulated to prevent the jacket from becoming brittle after years of sun exposure. |
|
PoE Support |
PoE++ (Type 4) |
IEEE 802.3bt |
Ideal for outdoor PTZ security cameras and high-power wireless access points. |
|
Installation Limit |
Max 50ft (15m) Indoors |
NEC 800.113 |
Due to low flame-retardancy, CMX must transition to Riser (CMR) or Plenum (CMP) once inside. |
Key features
Weather-Resistant Jacket
Outdoor CMX cables use heavy-duty outer jackets. This protects internal conductors from rain, heat, and UV exposure.
Moisture Protection
The cable design limits water penetration during outdoor use. This helps prevent signal issues caused by damp air or damp conditions.
Stable Outdoor Performance
Outdoor CMX cables maintain signal quality over long runs. They perform consistently despite changing environmental conditions.
Long-Term Durability
These cables are made for extended outdoor service life. They reduce the need for replacements or frequent inspections.
Various type
Direct Burial CMX Cables
Direct burial outdoor CMX cables are installed underground. They do not require additional conduit for protection.
Aerial Outdoor CMX Cables
These cables are used for overhead outdoor installations. They are designed to handle tension and environmental exposure.
Shielded Outdoor CMX Cables
Shielded options offer added protection from electrical interference. They are useful near power lines or industrial equipment.
Best use cases
Building-to-Building Connections
Outdoor CMX cables link separate structures reliably. They support stable data transmission across outdoor spaces.
Outdoor Security Systems
These cables are often used for cameras and access control. They provide steady connectivity in open environments.
Campus and Perimeter Networks
Outdoor CMX cables suit large properties and outdoor layouts. They help extend network coverage beyond interior spaces.
Extend your network outdoors with Outdoor CMX cables engineered for durability, consistent signal quality, and dependable long-term performance.
