DescriptionA Double Jacket CAT 6 Cable (often called outdoor or heavy-duty Cat6) is a Category 6 Ethernet network cable that has two layers of protective sheathing instead of just one, giving it stronger protection and better durability — especially in outdoor or harsh environments.�� What “Double Jacket CAT 6” Means�� Double Protective LayersInner jacket: Often PVC or PE around the inner insulated pairs.Outer jacket: A second layer (often thicker PE or PVC) that gives extra mechanical strength and weather resistance.This extra jacket protects the cable from cuts, abrasion, moisture, and sunlight more effectively than regular single-jacket CAT 6 cable.�� Outdoor & Harsh Environment-FriendlyDouble jacket CAT 6 cables are typically used for: ✔ Outdoor network runs✔ Long horizontal cabling✔ IP camera PoE runs✔ Rooftop wireless links✔ Environments where cables may be tugged or exposed to weatherBecause of the thicker outer layer, they’re better at withstanding physical stress and UV exposure.�� Network PerformanceDespite the strong outer protection, they still meet Cat 6 standards, meaning:Support for Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) and usually up to 250-550 MHz bandwidth.Suitable for modern network applications including PoE/PoE devices like IP cameras and access points
