CAT5e Gel-Flooded Cable 1000ft CMXF Black — Technical Overview
The 52Networks CAT5e Gel-Flooded Cable 1000ft (SKU: 52N-C5E-CMXF-8C) is a heavy-duty outdoor direct burial bulk Ethernet cable engineered for harsh subterranean and atmospheric conditions. Featuring a water-blocking gel-filled core, 24 AWG 8-conductor UTP wiring, and a tough, UV-resistant CMXF-rated Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) black jacket, this cable is built to prevent moisture ingress, oxidation, and rodent damage. It delivers robust 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) transmission across long-distance outdoor runs between buildings, security cameras, and remote industrial setups.
Engineered for Underground Direct Burial, Wet Trenches & Harsh Outdoor Environments
Standard indoor riser or plenum Ethernet cables absorb moisture rapidly when laid in underground trenches, exposed to groundwater, or subjected to heavy rain and humidity, leading to conductor corrosion, short circuits, and complete network failure. Under the National Electrical Code (NEC Article 800), outdoor and subterranean deployments require specialized water-blocked outer protection.
Our CAT5e Gel-Flooded Cable 1000ft CMXF Black solves water intrusion permanently by filling the cable core with a flood-compound gel that actively repels moisture and seals minor jacket abrasions. Encased in a thick, UV-protected LLDPE jacket, it withstands direct sunlight, soil acidity, and temperature extremes without cracking. Need indoor structured cabling or active plenum runs?

Core Engineering & Outdoor Protection Advantages
💧 Gel-Flooded Water-Blocked Core
Filled with a specialized moisture-repelling flooding compound that prevents water migration along the cable length, safeguarding conductors against corrosion in wet trenches and humid conduits.
☀️ UV-Resistant CMXF LLDPE Jacket
Encased in a tough Linear Low-Density Polyethylene outer jacket rated for CMXF direct burial and severe outdoor exposure, protecting against solar UV degradation, soil chemicals, and mechanical abrasion.
⚡ 24 AWG 8-Conductor Performance
Built with robust 24 AWG copper-alloy conductors supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet and reliable PoE transmission for outdoor IP cameras and remote access points.
📦 1000ft Long-Distance Spool
Supplied in a generous 1000-foot continuous length, ideal for inter-building links, long-run security installations, and large-scale agricultural or industrial networking.
Key Features of CAT5e Gel-Flooded Cable 1000ft CMXF Black
- Gel-Flooded Water-Blocked Core: Actively blocks moisture ingress and prevents water damage in underground and wet conduits.
- CMXF Direct Burial Rated: Specifically designed for subterranean burial without metallic conduit (though conduit is recommended for physical protection).
- UV-Resistant LLDPE Jacket: Withstands prolonged direct sunlight, extreme heat, sub-zero freezing, and soil chemicals without jacket cracking.
- 24 AWG 8-Conductor UTP Wiring: Supports full Gigabit Ethernet data rates and PoE power delivery to remote outdoor devices.
- 1000-Foot Continuous Length: Provides ample footage for long-distance runs between outbuildings, security gates, and detached structures.
- Discreet Matte Black Finish: Blends cleanly into outdoor landscaping, exterior building walls, and underground junction boxes.
- Universal Termination Compatibility: Pairs seamlessly with outdoor Cat5e Keystone Jacks, weatherproof boxes, and waterproof glands.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: CMXF is the NEC fire rating for outdoor wire intended for direct burial in soil. A gel-flooded core means the internal spaces around the twisted pairs are filled with a waterproof flooding compound that blocks moisture migration and prevents corrosion if the outer jacket is nicked or exposed to standing water.
A: Yes. Because it features a CMXF direct burial rating and a thick UV-resistant LLDPE jacket, it can be buried directly in earth trenches. However, running it through PVC conduit is still recommended in rocky soil to prevent physical crushing.
A: This cable supports full 10/100/1000 Mbps (1 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet) data transmission for outdoor runs up to 328 feet (100 meters).
A: Yes. Its 24 AWG 8-conductor UTP wiring fully supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as outdoor PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and remote intercoms.
A: Every box includes a continuous 1000-foot (305-meter) spool of outdoor gel-flooded Cat5e cable.
