GEARit Cat6 Outdoor Ethernet Cable, 50 ft
A ready made 50 foot outdoor Cat6 cable with a burial rated jacket and copper conductors.
We bought Outdoor Cat 7 Ethernet Cable 50ft, 26AWG Heavy-Duty SFTP Waterproof Direct Burial, 10Gbps 600MHz. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is also a 50 foot shielded outdoor patch cable rated for direct burial, from a known brand with a readable maker page and editorial coverage.
The short version
- Anyone running a wired connection to a garage, shed, office or outdoor camera
- People who want a ready made cable instead of bulk wire and crimp tools
- The run is longer than the lengths sold, or needs to pass through a small hole before the plug is added
- The cable will lie in standing water and you want a gel filled design
What owners like
- Solid, heavy build that holds up outdoors
- Smooth jacket that pulls through conduit without much trouble
- Steady gigabit connections to outbuildings
Common complaints
- Spec wording differs between the Amazon title and the maker's page
- No gel fill or water blocking layer is mentioned, which outdoor cable guides recommend for wet soil
Based on Review themes summarized on the maker's product page, the Amazon listing title, and one outdoor Cat6 buying guide that includes this cable. No independent lab test was found..

What it does
A 50 foot shielded Cat6 patch cable with a waterproof, UV resistant jacket for direct burial, reviewed here as the closest well documented match to the white label outdoor Cat 7 cable that was bought.
- Factory terminated, so no crimping tools are needed
- Jacket rated for direct burial, conduit or exposed outdoor runs
- Thicker 23 AWG copper conductors than the 26 AWG cable it replaces
- Maker lists ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 compliance, ETL verification and RoHS
- Same cable sold in eight lengths from 10 to 250 ft
A sensible pick for running wired internet to a garage, shed or outdoor camera when a ready made 50 foot cable is easier than terminating bulk wire. The trade-off is that the maker and the listing describe the shielding and bandwidth a little differently, and no gel filled core is mentioned for wet ground.
