Features
Is it for you?
A 1000 ft spool of black outdoor-rated Cat6A bulk Ethernet cable with an overall foil shield, 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors and an LLDPE jacket rated for direct burial, sold by trueCABLE for multi-gig and PoE camera, access point and building-to-building runs.
Choose it if these matter
- Overall foil shield (F/UTP) to reduce alien crosstalk and EMI on runs past electrical gear, motors or other cables
- Carries 10GBASE-T to the full 328 ft channel and PoE++ 4PPoE up to 100W, so one run can feed a camera, access point or other powered device
- Solid bare copper 23 AWG conductors, the conductor type industry standards call for in Ethernet networks, on an EZ Pull Reel with footage markings every 2 ft
Skip it if these rule it out
- Not an indoor cable: it may enter a building only 50 ft before it must be terminated or transitioned to an indoor-rated cable
- Shielded F/UTP construction needs shielded termination hardware and proper grounding, and is stiffer to pull and terminate than unshielded indoor cable
- trueCABLE sells this cable only through its own store and links no Amazon listing, so buying it on Amazon means searching for the exact model
- Sold on 1000 ft or 500 ft reels: overkill for a single short outdoor drop
Good for: Large homes · Lots of smart devices · Homelab · Wired backhaul

Color / finish
Cat6A Direct Burial Shielded, 1000 ft, blackThis page
Model: 6ASCMXBLK_1Krl
Full 1000 ft EZ Pull Reel in black.
Long runs: multiple camera drops, outbuildings or whole-property outdoor cabling.
Cat6A Direct Burial Shielded, 500 ft, black
Model: 6ASCMXBLK_500rl
Same cable on a 500 ft reel, for shorter projects.
One or two outdoor runs where a full 1000 ft reel would be wasted.
Cat6A Direct Burial Shielded, white or brown jacket
Same cable with a white or brown jacket instead of black, to blend with siding, trim or soil.
Installers who need the jacket color to disappear against a building or landscape.
Watch out
- This is the shielded (F/UTP) direct burial cable: it needs shielded connectors and grounding. trueCABLE also sells an unshielded Cat6A direct burial cable and cheaper Cat6 direct burial versions, which are different products.
- Cat6A direct burial is not rated for indoor plenum or riser use; plan the transition to indoor cable within 50 ft of entering the building.
- Reel listings in different colors or lengths are the same cable family, not different categories of cable.
