Robust, installation-friendly, high-speed, outdoor-rated Cat6 network cables introduced by Kordz at ISE 2025 help systems integrators capitalise on growing demand for connected technologies in outdoor environments.
(January 20 2025) — At ISE 2025, Kordz, a leading global innovator of professional grade connectivity solutions, introduces systems integrators to a range of high-speed networking solutions for diverse outdoor applications. Making their debut are three new products: for above-ground outdoor installations the PRO SlimCat Cat6 U/UTP Outdoor Network Cable and ONE Cat6 U/UTP Outdoor Network Cable, and for below-ground, ONE Cat6 U/UTP Direct Burial Network Cable.
These robust, easy-to-install options have been “Kordzified” to meet the requirements of today’s outdoor networking projects, supporting the growing demand and performance expectations for technologies such as IP security cameras, external Wi-Fi access points, smart doorbells, high-end AV systems and more.
“Our new outdoor-rated Cat6 cables enable integrators to confidently take on a wider range of projects, from residential landscapes to commercial properties, with solutions that are discreet, reliable and cost-effective,” says Kordz Managing Director, James Chen. “By delivering exceptional performance and ease of installation, these cables help integrators enhance their service offerings and drive greater profitability in a competitive market.”
The 24AWG direct burial and above-ground outdoor ONE Cat6 cables support data rates of 1Gbps up to 100 metres and 10Gbps up to 55 metres with full PoE++ compatibility. The direct burial cable’s PE jacket adds water-blocking gel filler that provides exceptional protection against moisture, extreme temperatures and other harsh underground conditions for durable, long-lasting performance. With solid 24AWG OFC conductors and a 6.3mm diameter, the cable is stable yet flexible, facilitating easy installation in confined, underground spaces. The above-ground option has a UV-stabilised PE jacket that offers protection against environmental factors, such as UV exposure and extreme temperatures, while a slim 5.4 diameter and 24AWG solid OFC conductors provide stability and flexibility during installation in even the most challenging outdoor environments.
For ultimate flexibility and ease of installation for above-ground applications, Kordz offers the game-changing new 28AWG outdoor-rated PRO SlimCat Outdoor Cat6 Network Cable. Engineered for shorter-distance networking applications (1Gbps up to 50 meters) and compatible with existing system components, this cable features Kordz’ multi-award-winning SlimCat technology that delivers all the power and performance of high-speed Cat6 data transmission in half the physical size of standard Cat6 cable. The PRO SlimCat Outdoor Cat6 Network Cable’s ultra-slim profile and flexible design make it easy to navigate tight pathways, fit through smaller holes, and tuck neatly behind downpipes and gutters, making it an excellent choice for difficult or retrofit installations where conventional cabling may be visually obtrusive or cumbersome to handle. The cable’s PE UV-stabilised jacket ensures it withstands harsh external conditions, offering exceptional durability, stability and longevity no matter where it’s installed.
All Kordz outdoor Cat6 cables comply with industry standards, are backed by a five year warranty, and come in Kordz’ convenient packaging with metre-marked lengths for precision. The cables integrate seamlessly with Kordz’ existing system components, providing a complete solution that delivers ‘Connectivity Assured’.
