Product Information

If you are determined to use conduit, IMC metal conduit will be more durable, but costly. IMC metal conduit is used for plumbing and has threads that can be thoroughly sealed. It is wise to pull twine/string through the conduit with the cable and leave it in place to make cable replacements easier. Once you have dug your hole, you can run your ethernet cable to the desired area and bury it out of sight. This gives you a clean and mess-free internet connection outside of your home or business. With expert home internet installation from our specialist team, you can enjoy crystal-clear garden office internet. If you need to use shielded Ethernet cable then by all means install it but be aware that shielded cable carries penalties with it, such as:

Is it better to put direct burial outdoor cable into conduit or just bury it directly in the ground?So, there you have it! A comprehensive explanation of how to deal with outdoor Ethernet cable installation. One of the most rewarding aspects of running Ethernet cable outside is seeing it all come together, but understanding the ins and outs of outdoor Ethernet cable requires planning and research. With that I will say…

Even if the water somehow gets inside an ethernet cable, there is a low risk of it becoming a hazard, although there is a very high chance that it will be damaged and you will more than likely see some signal degradation, if it works at all. This conduit should then be buried underground to provide it with that extra bit of protection and so that it isn’t in the way, especially if it is positioned where there is a lot of foot traffic. The last thing you want is someone tripping over it when it could have easily been buried and kept out of the way. If the conduit is advertised as being suitable for outdoor use, that is a good sign it will be up to the task. Ok, so why do we offer unshielded? This cable type can be used in direct burial scenarios where electrical runs underground are not close by. The dirt itself will ground out your data cable. If you are certain of your environment, you may also use unshielded direct burial cable if it is attached to a single structure only (like along the siding or under the soffit of a house). ESD build-up and resultant equipment damage is a possibility, but a remote one.

An outdoor ethernet cable can connect the outbuilding directly to the router inside a house. The connection will terminate inside the garden building and can be connected to an access point to provide a separate wireless network. All ethernet cables will list their American Wire Gauge rating, which is a common measurement for the diameter of the cable. This can be used to compare the quality differences between similar products. This makes the cable quite stiff, which is especially true if it has already been left out and exposed to the cold weather for an extended period of time. It may not be as stiff when you receive it new, but it will certainly stiffen over time. Some additional equipment is needed for installation, with most being available at a low cost. The end of the ethernet cable must be terminated and we recommend using wall boxes at each end of the connection. A wall box allows for a separate ethernet cable to be connected and keeps the installation tidy.
